But back to the matter at hand...Dr. Gnar, please tell us more about the chemistry of magnetism.

Good fucking riddance, at least temporarily.
Anyway, back on topic, RTTT - tell us more about yourself - your ongoing narrative really is fascinating.
HELLZ YEAH AGIN'Quote:

I haven't seen you answer this. I always appreciate when someone who survives a bc accident posts details for education purposes, even knowing they might catch shit for mistakes made. What are your lessons learned?Quote:

There have been actual wolf sightings where Trapp regularly tours. He also tours significantly more than you RTTT. Does he carry on the skintrack? I highly doubt it.Quote:

sure seems like the OP has it all figured out and on lock down.
Jesus Christ, rog. It Must be so easy to troll when u have no friends or empathy for others.
Marker bindings. I'll start with that.Quote:

Hey, that's MY excuse.
Ouch. The smiley face at the end of the Tunnel Creek comment? Wow. That's just crazy insensitive.
Throw away the keys, he's an asshole.
This whole thread has been funny enough, I guess. It's nice to have these little episodes of banality in amongst the pictures of people skiing super-fun things.
Hope we get more pictures of skiing soon, though. These kind of threads can only entertain you so much.
Polite round of applause for all the players. Perhaps take it on tour? Could work on Broadway...
How about permanently?!Quote:

Am glad the OP survived... this thread could easily have been about loosing another skier. That's what I mean when I said I am glad we are joking about it. He's brought the notoriety on himself by blabbing all over the web, and clearly earned the schooling, but the Rog crap is pretty f'ing weak. Not sure either one can, or even want to learn much. Too bad as there is some great advice and fantastic stuff to be gleaned here and elsewhere amongst all the bs.
RT3, tell us more about teh Markerz... a few others here use them, too. Mostly Sharpies for write'n gang symbols n shit, tho.
This post might actually be pretty funny in the context of what some here think of Markers. But continue please. Trip planning/time of day, what you pack (and I don't mean the gun), assessment of stability/other snowpack conditions and route selection, heuristic traps, personal "live free or die" philosophy vs potentially exposing others (like SAR) to risk, etc.Quote:

VT-F, killing me!
The OP is such a badass! Didn't you guys see all the news articles in the first post about his tumble verifying that? His friends are like whoa man! Dang! He is quite proud of his shithead self. What RTTT understands and is comfortable with is that when yer the man haterz gonna hate!
Let us know how the MCAT goes. I have a feeling your lack of humility and unrealistic view of your abilities, yet need to take an entire semester off to study means you are not going to score so well. Taking a semester off to study for the MCAT is not a good idea. Medical school is challenging. If you needed an entire semester just to study for the MCAT schools will wonder if you can hack it in their difficult curriculum.
Glad you are okay. Hope you learn something. One lesson might be to not bring trouble your way by starting threads like this.
One final question: Would you want medical school admissions committee personnel googling you and finding this thread? There may be enough bits of information about you in here to come up in a search. You are naive to think there is no way it will happen and that it can't negatively impact your application.
I could easily sit here and defend this kid left and right, everything he did is something I have done (to some degree, you do take the cake for complete stupidness, something I can’t even come close to) there was an accident and the shit hit the fan.
The reason why I’d rather shit all over you instead of stand up for you is your attitude. You have to get over yourself. Everytime someone tries to bring you down to reality you shoot back about how hard you work, how smart you are, and how your future is so bright. I mean have you always considered yourself the smartest guy in the room? Of course your smarter than me on paper I barely graduated high school. Think about it, your 20 you live at home and are obsessed with being the toughest guy out there.
People do stupid shit in the backcountry all the time and a lot of them come back dead. Your super lucky. I know why you didn’t have a partner that day or any other day because most of your potential partners know how reckless and unprepared you are. There are lots of guys like you out there, you’re a dime a dozen. Unprepared, lacking on common sense, and willing to put yourself and others in danger. Until you admit your shortcomings people should continue to tell you how it is.
Plus you have brought all this attention to yourself, you have posted endlessly all over the internet about your near death experience. Hoping people would elevate you to hero status. Hoping the tv stations keep calling and the newspapers want to make you into something your not. The reality is a lot of people who spend time in the back country realize you are first class idiot.
The best advise for you is to stick to skiing at pats peak and leave the gun for the shooting range
The snowpack that I assessed earlier that day was the daily melt ontop of a few inches of corn (depending on the area, 3-4 inches). Under that was a considerably thick slab of ice, which had been strenghthened by all of the freeze/thaw that week and the week previous. I had plenty of time to feel it out on my way over, and the risk that I had for an avi was low. I had a few other gullies picked out to ski that day, but given the time of day and the exposure, I figured the 7 would have the best snow with the sun coming down on it. By the time I got over to the top, the sun had been obscured by cloud cover and the surface re-froze. In that aspect I would have started the trip earlier, because had that refreeze not occured I think I would have been fine. As noted earlier, the cloud cover came in quickly and unexpectedly.Quote:

I have, throughout the past three years, used everything in this kit other than the hemostat clamp, the IV starter, and the saline.
- GPS with loaded topos
- my phone with loaded topos.
That day I was wearing levels 1, 2, 3, and 5 on myself, and had 7 compressed into my bag. I left the probe and shovel at home and sub'd them with my skis and poles (took a basket off).
sun baking is NO va bene!Quote:

I don't assume the ____wish nor the same degree of bragadiccio. fastfred (along with monkfish, and others) may well be right about it, but having been adrenalized by close ones, I know that motor-verbosity can follow.
I think the young man is just hyped up from the events and hasn't transitioned to increased wisdom yet. We all do that at different rates. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt..but I do agree that pointing stuff out to him is a good idea.
BTW, I am opposed to packing heat for skiing in the East Coast BC. That's TV/Movie drama stuff, way beyond the need in NE BC. The bear are undernourished and looking for easier pickings, rabies is not widespread among the smaller critters, Hell, even the Coy-dogs will leave you alone.
stupid IE double post...sorry about that!
Knowing you consume as little water and food as possible, it's not surprising you have gone through your entire emergency med kit over the past 3 yrs.
Surprisingly enough, I've only used it on my self twice (once on this fall to clean up a little bit with alcohol wipes, and one other time when I had a rock sticking out of my arm a few years ago). Every other time it is someone else.Quote:
