So what are the totem cams like? I've never seen one in person and they look kinda crazy.

Great info indeed. I'm going to get one of those cacoon pillows.

I second a DAS jacket and can't really speak to many others. What I can say is you can find really good deal buying one used. New is always nice but you can get a better jacket in your price range buying used. you can find them a lot on CC or mountain project. Just a thought.

This thread started out all warm and cozy then slid down in to some pissing match. Thank you You can only have so much of that cozy shit.

Great stuff. I work with a lot of veteran and will pass this video on.

Some of you may be on the same mailing list I am and got the Catalog of bear Grylls new line of clothing. It's pretty funny. Every photo is of him looking like a over the top jack ass.

Nice link gspotter.

Thanks for the info These look great for alpine small racks. The range you get out of the four is pretty amazing. I'll more than Likely end up getting all four.

From what I see online there are 4 sizes. .5, .75, 1, 2

I want to get a couple of these to add to my rack and for alpine climbing. If I was to get two of these what two sizes would be best? Just wondering what you guys like. Thanks Chris .

Bkboooo what cell phone service do you use. I have AT&T and it seems to get shitty service in the mountains. My buddy has nextel through is work and he always gets service. My evil contracts up soon I may switch.

Shit. It took forever to load I my iPad. But it was worth the wait. Great photos

Who needs pen and paper when you have a hammer and chisel. They can't take that shit.

Well said

To answer your question I've effed up a lot of shit. Marriage, car, neck, rest of my body. If your really stressing over it go to the doc and have it checked out. Don't let it ruin your trip by having a strained neck the whole time.

They should have taken the kids and left those two dumb asses there to figure that shit out on there own.

I was out there a couple of months ago around 4pm and saw some guy nailing a prostitute when I looked over the edge. I can only wonder what happens there at night. Hope this kid pulls threw this and makes a full recovery.

Yeah. I was reading this thread a couple days ago and thought it was dead.

I'm an emt and had to use epi in the field on a few people. If I saw you and your eye like that I would consider shooting you up. But really there has to be some sort of a breathing problem before I can really give you epi. From the looks of your eye you should always have an epi pen handy. If you had multiple strike it could have been much worse. From what my medical director tells us epi is pretty harmless. I know some would disagree and im not saying go crazy with the shit. But if your on the fence I lean more towards taking the shot. The pen also is not as hardcore as it appears. It injects the epi super fast so itS more like a needle prick. It just looks painful because people overreact. Meani is right though Benadryl is the key to suppressing the long term affects. You should carry both in your first aid kit.

Doug it sounds like the tribe has spoken and no one gives a shit.

I suspect the homeless who refuse services are a mix of both proud and challenged folks. Hard to blame them, particularly in these times. Mostly challenged. Hell I'll blame them. It's hard times for all of us and that's why we don't need to be picking up peoples shit. They should have thrown those bums away with the garbage and saved us tax payers some settlement money.

+1 on the steens mountains

Very sad.
