Actually now that I re-read this one, these two didn't have the right gear either. They should have brought climbing snowshoes if soft snow was expected...
you need snowshoes to go down soft snowy hill?
i see that you go out solo a few times. that's not safe at all. what if a bug flew into your eye causing blindness?
Yeah, what if B-chaser went out solo in the winter, got himself into a jam, ie, a storm came in and he got stuck out there, his equipment failed, and SAR came in to rescue him. Guess he'd be ok with that, as well as footing the bill. After all, someone could determine that it was gross negligence heading out solo in the winter, and charge him for that rescue. Responsibility, right?
