It funny to watch in the wintertime...All the yuppy urban 4x4's here seem to take themselves out in crashes, since they don't know how to drive them properly! They get them for the "Bad" winters (which aren't that bad) and end up just driving further into the ditches, foot to the floor thinking...

Yeh, you're right Nick, makes sense now that you mention it...

I wonder if by having an amnesty, it gives some people a chance to unload unwanted knives from their boxes hidden in the back closet. Nobody has mentioned yet about criminals possibly breaking into otherwise decent homes with law abiding citizens that happened to have an old knife tucked away...

I've actually used sunscreen on a burn after the fact, and it helped to keep it moist...

I was going to put an x on a different spot, but Spamels looks more like a moth than mine did after I enlarged it... Good picture, and a bit of fun too!

Was that at the Army base Leon? I'm just west, up the highway from there by about 2 hours...Lots of rattlers in the "Hat" area! :eek: ~mike

The advice given in this thread are all good! I'm 3/4 of the way through this book myself, and I am finding it a really good read. I actually started tarcking after doing my Tracker Level 1 course last summer. The book they based the course on was called: "Tracking: A Blueprint for Learning...

I wonder sometimes if it wouldn't be better to beg forgiveness, than ask permission? :lmao:

He really was loved here. He took on the big guns at the '88 Olympics on the 90 meter jump, and even though he didn't fly as far or as pretty, the prima donnas were ****** that he got all the attention!! :lmao: I'll check out the Zoom webpage when i get a chance, since I may be coming your...

Another decent airline is: http://www.aircanada.com . They sometimes have some good seat sales...They fly out of Heathrow, direct to Vancouver.

You can rent equipment from various places. It'll save you carting all that stuff over here. Here's a good place to start: Linky MEC have a store in Vancouver and one in North Vancouver. In Calgary, our University also rents outdoor equipment, so I'd imagine the Uni out on the coast may...

Maybe we as rescuers are enabling these people. Perhaps it's time to cull the herd a bit and get rid of some muppets! ;) Seriously though, if I was to feel like I was doing anything to put my life in jeopardy, I would re-look at my strategy in a rescue situation. I also don't have to contend...

Firefox 1.5.0.3 with (Pro Mepis) Linux, and it works well here!

Hey FW, PM sent! I Hope you reconsider staying on as a valuable member here at BCUK. And if anyone gives you anymore grief either use the Ignore feature or use the swords! :swordfigh Stay in touch either way tho! ~mike

Sorry to hear of your loss Ray. Our thoughts are with you!

visions of Burt Reynolds and banjo players just came into my head..... :lmao:

I had deep fried mushy peas in Daventry in 1999, and wondered how the heck batter was added to the mush (prolly frozen) :lmao: Damn good tho'

I also spend WAAAAYYYY too much money here in Calgary!!! Great place, Great People.

Since they had very little with them to start with, it would have been best to stay in the vehicle out of the elements, plus the vehicle may be spotted by someone passing by. Unless of course there was a house nearby. They were smart to try and conserve fuel like that though. It's always sad...

I've been with SAR for over a year now, and went on about 15 callouts last year, but I have never actually heard anyone complain about rescueing anyone yet. The mind set of our local group is that if the person was found alive, hopefully safe and sound then all the training we do was for a good...
