Nicely done, suh!

Very nice, Dane. I'm sorry for you for the loss of your friend.

Excellent! I was quite curious as to what measures he took to stay warm for two days and nights. Good show, Mr. Kim! :tup:

Ah, of course. How silly of me not to have surmised that...

Thanks, Steve and Tyler. The wing's leading edge geometry looks remarkably similar to a Grumman Cheetah, which is why I asked. But I'm no pilot, and I don't even play one on TV...

AR!

Don' mention it. Is that a Grumman Cheetah you're in there?

WTF? No extra smokes???

Oh, man, that's tragic. What a loss. RIP

After seeing JayB's, DPS's, and montypiton's lists and reading some reviews on the MSR Pocket Rocket, I may be convinced to add this stove to my winter day-trip kit. It sure seems light, compact, and nearly idiot-proof (I know, I know, I'm a better idiot). Stash it in a 1 liter pot, toss in a small fuel canister and a ramen noodle pack or some cup-o-soups, and I could start to really enjoy getting lost...

A little extra food that doesn't require cooking, lighter/matches and fire starter, a lightweight space blanket, a half body length of closed-cell foam pad, and a treated nylon bivy sack that stuffs up really tiny. I skip the stove and fuel, relying upon the fire starter to build a fire/create warmth. The extra food I take does not require cooking, so no stove/pot/fuel required. You can almost always find liquid water somewhere even in winter, so again, no stove/pot/fuel required. So I can find a sheltered place (large rocks/boulders, frozen tree well, etc.); wrap myself in the space blanket; crawl into the bivy sack; and sit/curl up on my pad and pack; munch on some nuts, raisins, jerkey, and cheese; and tough it out for a night at least, maybe even two.

I was thinking the exact same thing as I was watching it. There was plenty of room for the other people there to work at extricating the guy from different angles, not just from his feet. "WTF are the rest of you assholes doing standing around with your thumbs up your asses!!!???"

Hurray! Good to hear. Now, cue the retards with the "I'm sick of paying for rescues" laments in 3... 2... 1...

claim failure... Or not...

Yeah, that one was pretty funny

Just spent a few minutes there. That site could be entertaining for a while...

Even Mormons??? But then it isn't "secret underwear" anymore...

Now that's fuq'n funny, I don' care who y'are...

Tags are these things: [tag=username] and [/tag]. Replace the word "tag" with "quote" and you have a quote tag. Put the text between the tags and you've quoted someone. Change the word "username" to the person's username that you're quoting, to give attribution to that user. Similarly, replace the word "tag" with "img" (and delete the "=username" part), paste the URL of the image between the tags, and now you have an image tag (to add pictures to a post). You get the idea... Stealth editing...

Hey, man, just trying to help a brutha out...

WTF??? Are we talking about the state pen or do you mean "voilà"?

You're making all the sense in the world, CW. You will lose your original post if you switch between views during a reply to a post. There are two ways that I use to prevent that: 1) I see no need to fuss with a word processing software. Hit Quote for the first poster you want to quote, but also have a second window of cc.com open from which to copy the other quote(s) that you want to add to your post. Copy the different quotes you need from the second window one at a time, switch back to your original window with your still-open reply box, and dump it into your reply post. Surf the thread and repeat as necessary. Separate the various authors by using the quote=username and /quote tags. Don't forget to place the brackets at the beginning and end of both quote function tags [ ] and you're on your way. Easy as cake. Piece of pie. Or something like that... 2) Pick one poster to quote, hit Quote, make your reply, then hit Submit. Then go back and find the other poster(s) that you want to quote, highlight and copy the text you want, then navigate back to your own post that you just submitted. Hit the Edit toggle, and paste the text into your post where you want it, add the quote tags and brackets, and hit Change Post. Voilà!
