Thanks guys big help

Does anyone know where I can buy raw down? I can't seem to find any place on the web that sells just down. Need it for a sewing project. Thanks

Hi Pretty new to backcountry skiing and finally broke down and bought a setup. But I still need to buy skins. I bought BD aspect skis and was wonder best brand and bang for your buck. I also see them pop up from time to time used. Is it worth it or just buy new? Any info is welcome Thanks

Thanks For The TR. I would love to not see anyone on hood while climbing. Granted last time I climbed hood was spring and I climbed with 200 other people. It was a zoo. Thanks for the pics

Sweet!! Thanks for the TR

Thanks guys I wanted a darker color so people didn't see it and steal his gear. Sounds like that shouldn't be an issue. His buddy told me that shouldn't be an issue. I'll just leave the rope the way it is. Thanks for the info.

So. Im rigging a safety system for my brother to be protected while climbing up into his tree stand. He's scared of heights. I'm using webbing for the top anchor wrapped around a branch or the tree. With a locker going into a figure eight on a bite. Then I was going to connect the other end of the rope to the bottom of the tree. He would use a tibloc or Prusik to make his way up. Two questions: Is this the easiest way to do this? I'm also wondering if you can dye a rope a more camo color? I have some pmi 8mm cord but it has neon yellow in it. Thanks for any advice.

Sweet! Thanks for the info guys.

Hi I've skied the resorts since I was little and want to step away from that into the backcountry. Money is my issue. I cant afford to drop a $1000 plus bucks on a setup. Looking for opinions on older skis and binding that will be the best bang for my buck. Any info is appreciated.

Hello Me and a buddy are thinking about going on a guided canyoneering trip this spring or summer. I was looking for suggestion on an area or guide service that any one has used or preferred. Looking at a three to four day trip. Thanks for any info

Me personally. I would say it doesnt warrant but will probably come under fire. The very top section is the only place they would be needed and rocks could only fall 10 or 20 feet. Your in a rock hazard area for maybe 10 minutes when your up there.

Nice TR it was some great weather.

+1 Also great info buckaroo haven't been on that mountain yet. I often find myself forgetting about the big picture and focusing on the small issues. This is a sad reality check for all of us.

Wow. What a terrible week in the PNW for climbing. My thoughts go out to the injured and the family and friends of those who have pasted. Let's analyze these accidents and learn from them. Especially the more inexperience climbers like myself.

I would like to throw the word "novice" out there one more time.

Anyone seen the summit? Ice axe and crampons needed? Maybe flotation on the way in or is the path pretty beat down into green lakes. Thanks for any info I can get.

I think staying physical fit is the best way to prevent injury. Most of my minor injures are do to me being tired and having bad form. I also always use trekking poles. On the decent they take a lot of work off my knees and allow me to stay much more stable.

Dude if you don't like that I'd stay away from Walmart. Parenting is old school my genaration is just letting the schools and government raise our kids. They do such a good job with the postal service why not raise our children.

I've done the tarp thing and the put all your layers on thing. They work good for an overnighter that's dry. If you can afford one I would just buy a decent bivy sack though. I think it's the best of both worlds. It's light weight and will keep you dry and more comfortable than the other options.

Wish I could stand eating those things. They would make meals easier for me.

MORE Spray paint. Maybe some browns or greys. Watch some Bob Ross for a little inspiration.

I was there last weekend. All clear.

Nice!
