OW, You might know me if you have been around this long, but for now let that be. This wilderness thing is a fucking pile of crap. The the destruction of the Western Washington Coleman cabin, IT WAS FUCKING THERE BEFORE THE WILDERNESS ACT. It was part of the wilderness, it should of been left there. I have seen things like this happen in Alaska, Northern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and Northern "fucking" Michigan. Old timers that had squatted on land for years are now told that their cabin(used for trapping or a drop off on a hunt is illegal and the feds destroy it. BULL SHIT, is what I say. And as for you Allison, the fucking federal government has NEVER given a true statement since Andrew Jackson. At least he had the balls to run graft and bribery in the open and to hell with all the EASTERN know it alls that smile in your face and stick a knife in your back. All that bull shit verbage you display as the god given words of the federal governement is political lingo to be interpreted by some slimy(sorry Matt P no insult to you or my lawyer)federal government solicitor, so the feds can do what ever they want to do at that moment. In other words as the political arena at the time warrents it.(are we liberal this week or are we conservative) Fixing trail should be done to enhance the recreation for the people. By the way OW you are probably right 10% was too big its probably less that .1% and you are right on another step I am superior to the fucking city dweller that never goes forth into the woods and savors its rewards, that could be flesh to eat or trails to walk or things to climb or heavens forbid fur to wear. The wildman has spoken.

AMEN, ERIK. Say bible. Lizard, this is for you. I have found that even with the trails cleared 90% of all the people out there are TOO LAZY to venture more than a day hike away from their motel, car, home, TV etc., so if your concern is over "over use" park it. Americans as a whole are a lazy bunch of couch warmers that would rather go to the fridge get a beer, pack in some potato chips, watch TV and maybe let the dog out unless they put in a doggie door so they don't have to move.

Herbs always made me hundry if smoked, but if I cooked up something and consumed it...WOW what a high and I can't remember getting the munchies like you do when you smoke green dragon. Ya, Cavey I remember going into Anchorage so fucking stoned I don't remember the ride in but I do remember getting to McDonalds and slamming back a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder with fries and coffee and then pinching a stinking McDonald's loaf later in the day at Alyeska or somewhere on the Seward Highway. Speaking of herbage did any of you catch the Simsons this Sunday? Homer was doing medical herb for his eye injury.

You know chain saws are small enough nowadays that one could be stowed in a large expedition type pack. A buddy could bring the gas and with all the new diode head lamps I bet(I have logged as a kid when I was going to college)I could remove a bunch of dead fall during the night when old smokey the ticket writing ranger was asleep. I have thought of this real hard and its it very tempting. I have to hold myself back here about the "wilderness" people. Got to keep in control, can't go ballistic, AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW As for the Navy jets I LOVE 'EM. ISN'T AMERICA GREAT. KEEP THEM IN THE AIR AND DOING THEIR BEST.

Had the fez there, but you arrived to late to see me wearing it. The locals were eyeing me like I was an Arab. Ya, I was looking at the topo and there was definately room for more slingage to be used on the bolts after #5. I could of used slings on all bolts after that until it hit the last two before the belay anchor. Great day except I can hardly walk as my big toes are so swollen. Soaked them in cold warter as I watered my plants and garden this evening. That felt GOOOOOOD!

fucking eh mate I'll be there with my grandfather's fez on

Trail into Surprise Lake up in Stevens Pass. And you are right if its "wilderness" then its off limits to power tools and equipment. Which I think is absolutely ridiculous. There are many trails this year in the "wilderness" areas that have wind blow and avalanche debris all over them and the NFS is limited to using turn of the century tools and technology to do the necessary repairs. WHERE THE FUCK DID COMMON SENSE GO?!? Make the repairs as fast as possible with the technology of today and if the little prisses who want to get in touch with nature get mad send them to Alaska's Bristol Bay with some salmon oil and honey to coat their gear with before dropping 'em off. Then they can really get in touch with nature.

I am just shocked at the regulations that the forest service crews have to follow to clear a trail in a "wilderness" area. Using only muscle powered tools to clear and repair the trail system is a joke. No helicopter support, no four wheelers where it is feasible, what the hell are the powers in the NFS thinking? Inventions to make work go faster and easier is what America is all about. If we wanted to use only the methods I have seen in the last few days why don't we send the administrators of NFS to all the countries that end with ...stan and let them issue orders there. Jesus H. Crist this is supposed to be the most technologically advanced country in the world and we handcuff our NFS workers like this. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!!!!! How can the "wilderness" rule be changed????

Why don't bicyclists do like the 1% MC clubs do, pack some iron if they want to be TUFF if they are going to show their finger. A friend of mine from Oregon was flipped off recently by a bicyclist, so he pulled over and told him to get off his bike 'cause he was going to break his finger. Well, the dumb fucker got off his bike and told my grey haired mean mofro friend that HE was going to rip off his head and shit down his neck. End result Pat drove away, bicycle ran over and bicyclist OKed on the road. [ 07-17-2002, 04:48 PM: Message edited by: sisu suomi ]

I haven't stepped on my dick in a few months so here goes. 1. I've been to modern drilling sites in the GREAT state of Alaska. The men and women that work there are very aware of keeping things as clean as possible. Mistakes and accidents are the nature of the business but the companies operating the services there are quick to respond. 2. Modern drilling platforms can directional drill therefore placeing less stress on the surrounding lands and waters to get to the crude oil. 3. How many of the people complaining walk, ride a bicycle, ride public transportation or use a horse, mule, donkey for transportation more that 50% of the time? Do you use modern climbing ropes, pack backs, modern mountaineering clothing that is quick dry? And don't give me that shit that you use the recycled plastic from Patagonia, 'casuse it came originally from oil. 4. Here is a tid bit I found in a history magazine. At the turn of century in the greater New York Borough there were as many horses as people. 99% of the horses were used for work in the borough. Each horse urinated 2 to 3 gallons each day in the streets of the borough. Each horse defecated 10 to 15 pounds of manure daily in the streets of the borough. When a horse fell in its harness and dies which they did frequently it was up to the borough to remove it. Now, if you lived in the up scale areas of the borough then the carcass was removed promptly otherwise it was left until a borough crew got there and in the cases of the poorer sections of the borough it stayed there until dogs, cats, crows, magots, ants etc. worked it down so it would wash away in the up coming rain storms. And finally, our little friends, English Sparrows, were imported by our government to help in the removal of horse manure. It seems the little buggers like to pick thru the manure to find undigested tid bits and by doing so sped up the decomposition of the manure. 5. Picture our cities of today with its ever expanding population if we were forced to go back to 4 legged transportation? 6. I haven't seen the usual agrument: Well, in European countries more people use bicycles,and walk. Those cities for the most part are far smaller that anything Americans live in. WE have been a mobile group of people since we came here in the 1600's. Americans have always been on the move. I agree it would be nice if we would take an interest in more public transportation but it ain't going to happen anytime soon. 7. Finally..yes we do have a problem with global warming, acid rain, soil, water, and air quality pollution. When will we as humans stop? We won't until we have reached the end of either fossil fuels or we have messed things up so bad that we as THE HUMAN RACE are in danger of going the way of the dinosaur. Then and only then will we realize we have to do something and it won't be to save the environment, but it will be to save or sad asses. [ 07-16-2002, 05:09 PM: Message edited by: sisu suomi ]

WOW, Doug Geeting an ass hole! I think not. YOU are the ass hole fuck up. I lived in Alaska for 20+ years and have flown with Doug as have my friends. We all have the utmost respect for this man and his company. I think you should take Doug's suggestion and give up any type of trad climbing. Stay with sport climbing as you seem to be of the gym mentality. Stay out of Alaska you don't fit in. If you had any fucking pluck you'd of sucked it up and enjoyed the experience. I've sat on that snowy runway waiting for Doug, too, but I found that there was plenty to do and enjoy. Sure you are tired of snow, want a meal and a beer or two, but there are a ton of international climbers there to talk with and learn something about differneces in climbing and ATTITUDE.

Dude, I was nearly "arrested" by an ice axe armed volunteer "ranger" working for Western Washington University once on the Coleman Galcier back in the "DARK AGES". I thought quick and poked the obnoxious fucker in the sternum with an cheap tin spoon. He left when he realized that an angry Finn is a sight to stay away from. I hope he is reading this right now and remembers. In fact if you are out there reading this try to remember what I told you back then and it still holds true today. hahahahaha

Do Canadians lose their judgement when they drink American beer? Sky diver hurt in leap off MacKay CRITICAL: Visiting Canadian badly injured in 14-story jump when chute malfunctions. By Nicole Tsong Anchorage Daily News (Published: April 16, 2002) A visiting Canadian sky diver leaped from the MacKay Building around midnight Sunday and learned a harsh lesson when his parachute failed to open completely. Police said Kenneth Kell, 32, plunged 14 stories from the roof, past scaffolding and gaping windows to the surrounding construction area, where his landing was cushioned only by 6 inches of snow. The resident of Ontario, Canada, was taken to Alaska Regional Hospital with broken bones in his legs and pelvis and a collapsed lung, police said. He remained in critical condition in the hospital's intensive care unit, according to a friend. Two women who were at the East Fourth Avenue site with Kell to watch him jump, told police he was an experienced sky diver but had little practice with what is called base jumping, parachuting off of structures. "There's not much to tell," said Krysia Price, an Anchorage resident. She said Kell was in town visiting. She would not elaborate about the incident until she had spoken with Kell's parents. Police spokesman Ron McGee said Kell may be cited for trespassing or endangering the lives of other people. Kell apparently got past or over the fence that surrounds the building, which is undergoing extensive renovation. He jumped about 12:30 a.m. Officers responding to the fall climbed the fence to reach Kell and medics cut part of the fence to carry him out, McGee said.

In Brief (Published: April 16, 2002) WRANGELL-ST. ELIAS NATIONAL PARK Searchers locate, identify bodies of missing climbers Searchers found the body of the second missing climber on Mount St. Elias on Saturday while on a trip to confirm the identity of the climber who was found the day before. Aaron Martin, 32, of North Lake Tahoe, Calif., and Reid Sanders of West Yellowstone were missing and presumed dead last week after falls on the 18,008-foot peak in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Pilot Paul Claus spotted a body near 16,000 feet from his Turbo Otter on Friday but could not make an identification. Claus returned to the area Saturday with John Griber, a climber who ascended the peak with Martin and Sanders on April 8, said National Park Service spokesman John Quinley. Griber confirmed the body was Martin's. It appeared he fell about 2,000 feet, leaving a trail of equipment behind. Claus and Griber found Sanders' body at 17,200 feet. A similar string of equipment, including rope, skis and a pack, traced Sanders' nearly 1,000-foot fall over an ice floe and into a heavily crevassed area, Quinley said. According to the Park Service, the three men had climbed the mountain, the second-highest in the country, and had planned to ski and snowboard down. During their descent, Griber, who went first on a snowboard, turned and saw Martin slide off a ridge. Griber never saw Sanders. Griber and Greg Von Doersten, a fourth climber who had remained at their camp with frostbite, were rescued Wednesday by the National Guard. Because of the dangerous terrain, the park service does not plan to recover the bodies, Quinley said. -- Anchorage Daily News

Have you ever been at the crags and either had to burp or rip one that was not a church creeper? Well, I have and the way I figure it if you(male or female)are at the crags you better get used to it and not cop a 'tude. Its a normal body function and I for one will not go a fucking mile out of my way to explode off if the need arises! In nearly 30 years of climbing I only met one female that took pride in being able to belch longer and louder that the males in the area. Met her at Smith about 2 years ago. cute woman with all the curves in the right places. Her climbing buddies, all female, were shocked at her actions. I clapped my hands and complimented her. Don't be afraid to let it go in the great out doors. Hell the wind movement will take care of the odor, and as far as burping goes take pride and do 'em LOUD and LONG. Farts weill I'll leave it up to the rest of you to give the point system for them.

Biff, is that what your climbing buddy does to you at night in the deep silence of the dark. Does that excite you? You left wing dip shit. Guns are and will remain a part of American culture. The people I was raised with taught about the proper use of weapons and what game was OK to take for the eating. If you are not a true VEGAN then you should keep your mouth shut about taking of game for eating. In fact, mother fucker, eat all the fucking non organic beef, chicken and farm raised salmon you can so you die of cancer quicker than the people that eat off the land. The quicker the better to get rid of left wing mother fuckers. I've speared fish, eels, harvested mollusks, shot land mammals, fowl(both upland and water), hook and line fished and gill netted for subsistance, grown gardens to have fresh organic vegetables, gathered fruits and berries etc. This to me is keeping the American culture alive. Stay in the city Biff and buy the good old store bought steriod and growth hormone foods. [ 03-22-2002: Message edited by: sisu suomi ]
