Warning--what Warning?


Recommended Posts

It's pretty clear, but you might want to add that someone should be able to navigate out in the wild and not just depend on a GPS and/or trail map. This sounds like one of those cases where a compass and possibly an altimeter become necessary.

You know...years ago I was in the Navy. My first duty station was Oak Harbor. From there I went to Atsugi, Japan. I remember a camping trip I took w/ some buddies in the mountains outside or Atsugi. Very rugged, dangerous mountains. But after a few Sapporo’s, we decided we could climb the cliff we camped next to. And climb we did! It wasn't till the next day and daylight that I saw the cliff was over a giant, sheer- sided waterfall. To this day, I don't know if it was the fact that we were Americans in a foreign country, in the Navy, or the Sapporo that made us think we were indestructible. Maybe it was the fact I was 21 years old and had the world by the tail. In any case, looking at the bio of ronshultz83, it would be my guess maybe he is kind of where I was all those years ago. I'm a lot safer and saner these days, but I have never regretted the things I tried when I was younger...only the things I didn't get the chance to try. Glad he had an angel looking over him and he came through safe!
