Post One Photo and Sentence or Comment

I did use one. His name is @Voodoo Tom .

 

It’s good to carry a Voodoo Tom or a PLB/device or a first-aid kit...

Better still is to not crash. Fiddlesticks one might say. Skill, focus, fitness, and judicious decision making don’t come cheap, but they’re easy to carry.

It’s easy for me to recognize risk mitigation because I consciously eschew it sometimes. There have been consequences. So do as I say, not as I do...don’t make me start showin scars.

 

Preaching to the choir, brother!

 

And the cell tower in the sky

 

I think he's happy to see you guys!

 

Darth Ssnake. Seafarer.

 

Hahaha.... never ceases to amaze me what people will do for the net....freddy is rolling in his grave...

 

I like how this sounds!

 

They’ll give a driver licence to anyone these days.

 

My friend and I did a welcome 2020 hike today, there was still so much snow on the SOT our average pace was 36min/mi

 

How dare you laugh at my mtb climbing pace!

 

Pfft, not buying it buddy! We rode GE together, remember?

 

Sure - I remember you hanging back with me for 5 minutes before you couldn't take that pace anymore and took off to the front where you belonged!

 

Wow, that's a crazy amount of snow. What elevation was that at?

 

Ha, so I often see a familiar photo on the Picture slot machine. Sometimes there are even two. For the first time I just saw 3!

That’s at about 5000ft, but it was just as deep at 4000. And it was untouched, we were the only knuckleheads willing to posthole through it. Next time I’ll wear snowshoes

 

You must have won something for that right? Tailwind? Free IMTB membership?

 

He got to take alotta bandwidth.

 

Thanks for posting all the snow pictures Sara. So cool to see and nice shots. Good stuff

Sure thing! That’s up Pine Cyn, Upper Shake campground to SOT

 

It is best to ride with cell phone coverage. A PLB will take quite a while to get you rescued. Of course not needing to invoke rescue is always best. I do not plan on having any crashes in 2020
Happy straight and narrow trails.

Of course having a PLB is better nothing. My friend crashed his airplane on Pinos. It took so long for the beacon to get help he ended up walking out to the top parking lot.

 

About 10 years ago at this time I was pedaling my bike out of Palm Canyon after doing this:





ohhhhhhh, the memories.

 

meow

 

Day off.

 

That rubber chicken looks to serve as a blow up doll as well. Just sayin’

 

Mathematically, it makes sense, Ev.

You'd be remiss to throw this out there without some sort of source or data. A motorcyclist on the Divide we spoke with used his and got help in reasonable time (same day, help at the location within hours). Someone else I know was trying to test their unit but activated it instead – they got a call from official SAR in under 15 minutes. Rescue situations seem far too varied to be able to take your claim at face value. TIA for the info.

Not trying to dilute the concept of not needing to be rescued in the first place...

 

For you or the Nugget??
