reiter road park hike i think peoples were supposed to wait until the the logging was complete, but it sounds like people have been already going up there.

maybe if you were looking for cluster fuck practice your approach to the peak would make sense. but it doesnt. sound skills in route finding and decision making are paramount in safe mountain travel!

EXACTLY TRASK why should i car about your belief systems? with no evidence that god, jesus, allah, bhudda or any other deity exists or is a factor in my life it seems quite pointless. and for you to think that i am a lessor person for not beliving in your "religon" is against jesus's principles. cause i dont think any of you are god and so passing judgement on my belief or lack there of, is a sin. kewl that you care about it and i guess it is admirable to some whom enjoy it to have a vast knowledge of orgainzed religon. but to me it is pointless and i will mock it at will, i will enjoy my views on life and not attempt to push them on others as the rightous way. so baby jesus can or or or or for all i care! i am still going to laugh!

IT JUST SMELT RIGHT!?

i am driving the epxress bus to hell, so all my friends get discounted fare!

Does Larry the Tool give you tickets if are praying without paying? i dont know i have never gotten a ticket from larry and anyways i dont pray. the celebration house of erik does not require such a silly thing. and necro i dont get it? what does your book repersent? greg_w is the history major. i am the antagonist.

looks pretty blonde to me? maybe it is just highlights or sumpin? or the way the sunlight and the glow from his halo! and no i dont read the bible. to much bullshit to wade thru. do they have an abridged addition with all the stupis words taken out? what about cliff notes?

where should i go? your mom isnt home. ive already called!

how many jews have blue eyes and blonde hair? and if he was in exile does that make his parent criminals? and what of the visions he had? was he a drug addict? and why if god is so powerful and pious that he expects his true worshipers to whorship him? and why do people believe in a fictional book? and why do churches require you to pay them to let you pray?

how can a blonde blue eyed white person be born in eygpt? i thought eypgt was part of the african continent. and i dont see too many white people born as indiginous group!

tude' still dont see what you are getting at? i was making a point not pressing facts. maybe next time for your personal benefit i will not include arbitrary figures so that i dont mess with your overlty logical thinking. are you trying to be all semantical again???

One liter of water weighs 1 kilogram, which is over two pounds. If you have to use chemicals to purify the water, you have to either sit and wait for it to work or you have to hike while waiting for it to work, carrying the extra weight in the meantime. If you have a filter, you can drink up instantly, and not have to carry any water. In fact, for those people arguing volume, if you have a Platypus, your volume can be less when using a filter because you don't ever carry the liter of water. Anyway, I'm not saying a filter is for everything... I really like a filter on long approaches and for climbs that are not carryovers. But it seems the general attitude of people here is that filters suck, which I think is a tad overblown... gary so what happens when you start to climb with no water source? i still dont think your logic makes much sense to me. yeah you fill your bottle and then put the little tablet in it and then walk for 10 minutes.....sounds a tad more efficent as you keep moving as your water/tab does its magic. stop. take pack off un pack filter find suitable source drop filter in run some water thru it drink/fill your bottle continue to pump water thru dry repack pick up pack walk repeat every hour? i tend to think i like to constantly drink water and not at predisposed stops. more flexiable to carry your own water and then to be a slave to plans.

factoid?? who said that was based on facts. i sure didnt. i just made the #'s up to repersent a value not the exact #....duh!!! my point was proven as a filter is more costly in all aspects over iodine. thanks for keepin check on me sweetie pie!!!!

NOT TO BE A PEST OR ANYTHING(BUT ISNT THAT WHAT I DO BEST?? ) BUT COULD YOU DEFINE AND SUPPORT REGULARLY...THE ONLY PERSON I'VE KNOWN TO CONTRACT GIARDIA GOT IT IN NEPAL.

$60 bucks for a filter and then anouther $15-$20 a year for a new cartridge. or $5 a year for pills. 1 cubic foot of space in your pack 1 cubic cm in your pack 1.5 lbs in your pack 1.5 oz in your pack.. you make the call. plus dont you have a stove too?? so if the water was particularly nasty i betca could boil it!!

what happens if they hole becomes filed with crud? whatca gotta clean it out 1st? sketchy dude! are they gonna make a new tool for that?? are ya gonna have to rap clean each route?? seems like a dumb idea to have routes set for them. i would think there only real practical application is for designing a ew route. before the final installtion of the fixed gear.

so i dont think there are too many immune supressed backcountry travlers out there.....but who knows?!

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOOL BOI! THANKS!

i dont like chili dogs.......tho lummos does and he even knows a good place in detroit!

let me know when!

LUMMOX WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I ASKED WHERE THERE IS A A VALID SOURCE IN THE WILDERNESS? YOU SAID SOMEONES ASS, THAT IS NOT THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR. DUH! AND DETRIOT THAT MIGHT HAVE LOTS OF WILD THINGS THERE, BUT IT IS NOT THE WILDERNESS... AND ANOTHER THING, I DONT THINK I HAVE PUT SHIT IN MY MOUTH....SO....................... HAVE A NICE DAY!

that stuff is scary to me!!!

almost all the water bad stuff comes from shit. so you can figure that someones ass is the source. thats what i thought more manufacture scare tactics to buy their junk.

nice article!
