  1. Just Reverse Trace my IP Fucktard. Boy are you some Nancy boys. You call me out on spending some time in the above treeline, and then can't do a basic traceroute? Man are you some pussies.
  2. The Mil Feeds said it was Kelly hours ago. L8r noobs. Oh, and it's been ShiniGami for the past 30 years. LOL on the ex Vietnam comments. Climb fast, and the SAR guys can try to find your bodies. I'll be eating hick food while they ID your bodies.
  3. Going to bed. I'm a Troll? I searched, and this means I am an uneducated lurker. I grew up in a spot so remote, we had a Scout Camp on my Farm. I would go out with what I could carry for a month at a time over summer breaks. We'd have to look for squirrels and rabbits to eat (Hard to find in the wild, but not in the suburbs). I've even made Turtle soup many times, and eaten Brain sandwhiches more than I'd want to admit. GroundHog and Raccoon are the worst, too much fat and Grease. I called it at Possum, I won't eat that stupid ass tree climber. I do live to eat acorns, but you have to leach(soak) them in water for a wek first, as they have tanic acid that will shut down your digestive system. I LOVED going out in snow waist deep, and building a snow cave to sleep in. We used to build a fire, get the snow to start to melt, then put it out to freeze into an ice dome on the first night. I did this all the time from grade school, thru high school, and kept doing this thru college. Started doing again as a father of 2 boy scouts now living in the subburbs. So F!ck you if you think I'm a poser. I've made more than my fair share of traps, and gutted and skinned and preserved plenty of pelts. Pour that salt down the RacoonTail. I also used to turn in the Groundhogs ears for 50 cents. I bought another box of 50 .22 shells with that 50 cents for the bounty every week. If I hadn't met and married my wife, and had my 2 boys, I'd hang all the time above the treeline.
  4. Lambone, Trioxane is the fuel, so I think you've never seen or used this, and will burn unless completely drenched/soaked under water. You can buy packs still useable from early 1970's Vietnam. I also carry underwater firestarters. I have them in every piece of gear I carry for use in an emergency. I once was in a huge downpour, and my Scout Troop said, give up on the fire, go to bed. I said I was going to make a fire. I took all the availble wood into the shelter. I broke into by size and seperated. And got a rageing fire going. Don't tell me these are stupid. You can make up 3 of these boxes for 1 person, Day/Assault Pack/Main Pack and Personal, for less than 1 lb. Waterproof Matches, Trioxane, Firestarter, Survival Ring (Mini LED Light, FIngernail Clipper and P-38 Can Opener). If you go out and don't want to carry the basics, you get what you deserve. But still , my prayers to the families.
  5. No, I don't have a Radiation suit when I go out into the wilderness. (I keep my Chemical suit at home with my gas masks and generator). But I have been out in snow above the treeline, and stayed a month+ with what I had with me. And I've had alot of fun doing it. As for speed, then you get what you asked for. OK, so I wouldn't go on the hardest route. But I'd get to the top and back alive. And you don't need to carry all the stuff I do on a technical climb, but you can carry a few extra pounds of food and fuel. The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as fast. To quote Bladerunner. Carry a few extra of the basics no matter what. I'm 48, been camping/hiking in the worst conditions possible since I was a kid growing up on a remote 1400 acre farm. So, no, I wouldn't go by the worst route, I'd go the safe route, and be prepared if I got stuck for 2 weeks. If you want to go the quickest/ hardest route, that's your call. I'd rather go up there and stay for a few weeks, see the daybreaks and sunsets, wake up in my snow cave, make coffee while still in my bag, get up and go outside and see the great view, that changes daily. And forget about my clients for a few weeks.
  6. Lyn, read that exact same article before. Notice: Knapp and Schneider, whose father taught mountaineering. Yeah, with all this crap, not doing a NF quickie. But not into "quickies", not an Adreneline junkie. But still do the "quickie" on the NF, and make sure you got some food, stove, fuel, firestarters, etc. Break it down to 10 extra pounds. And you live thru a NF quickie in December. If you go to altitude without emergency gear and supplies, you're asking for it. And I'm the kind of guy, that has to have gear and supplies enough for 1 to 2 weeks, if seperated from others. I make sure, if I'm seperated from my main pack, my daypack has basic food, fuel, firemaking. And if seperated from that, my LBV/Belt also has same backup. My personal safety kit is securely on my LBV/belt, and I sleep in that thing, never take it off when out. Some of my friends used to joke about me carrying all this stuff, when they thought it wouldn't be needed, but over the years, after a few emergencies and issues, they all carry alot of gear/supplies. Firestarter and a pack of Trioxane = Keep Living in an altitude emergency.
  7. I've been following this, and I seem to get the idea, they were not prepared. Prepared to climb, not prepared to be there for any length of time. I've only heard mention of a Gortex Bivy bag. Was this the ECWS system, and were they carrying the other parts. Did they have stoves, fuel, MREs, tent or even reflective mirrors. A gortex bivy is great without a tent in a snow cave. I always carry 2 to 4 bottles of fuel, even on 2 day outing, just in case. I have a MSR stove, and also a small German stove, about the size of a can of shoe polish. I also carry a can of shoe polish, as easy to light. And several small plastic boxes sealed with firestarter, waterproof matches, Trioxane, and a keyring, with a tiny led light, fingernail cutters and a P-38 can opener. One box on my belt, one on my vest, and 1 in my pack. A MRE in my belt pouch, 1 or 2 in my day pack, and 1 or 2 in my full pack. They all have Matches, Food, Toilet paper(Emergency kindleing) and other essentials. If I'm hiking a trail, even if I'm going 1 mile, I carry all this stuff. I also keep this pack in the back of my Van. I hope these guys are OK, but you also need to be preparred for the worst. Mt. Hood isn't a walk thru a wooded trail in the summer. Yeah, I got 60 lbs of extra crap in my pack, but I'd rather have the extra work lugging it around, then not have it when I needed it. And when you start leaving rope, and especially a Bivy bag behind, it's looking bad. Again, my prayers to the climbers and family. And next time you're going out, don't throw that second canister of fuel back into your vehicle to lighten your load by 2 lbs.
