HEY A** CLOWNS!!!!! Safety gear does not end at beacon, shovel probe!

[RXN]

Do u have a cord to plug it in and charge it while riding

No i don't, Just pack lots of double A's.

I'm surprised at some of the responses to this thread. I would have thought that most people would have told you to F!@#$%F after calling them A**CLOWNS. If you want to raise awareness and still maintain credibility, show the people on this site some respect. A lot of the older members on this site are already aware of the do's and don't's of the mountains and don't appreciate a junior member with a condescending attitude call them A**CLOWNS. You yourself admitted to riding without a lot of the gear you mentioned, does that make you an A**CLOWN? No, it makes you a human, one that has learned from his mistakes. If you were to continue riding without this gear, knowing what you know now, that, would make you an A**CLOWN.

Now, I hope I didn't derail your thread because there are some very good points to be made. A lot of these points can be learned from taking an avalanche course. Lori from Zak's Tracks does an awesome job Bringing awareness of the do's and Don't's of mountain riding, and she doesn't resort to name calling.

I agree. This a$$clown's message is getting lost in the delivery.

Yes, at one time I would fit in this category, and people are not telling me to F off, probably mainly because they see what I'm trying to do. Lastly, in advertising, they call it an attention grabber. Not trying to be offensive, just trying to get those who wouldn't typically read a " informational back country" or " what you need before heading into the back country" forum. Having s title like " a** clowns ", people tend to get curious. Now that that's out of the way, back to topic.

My buddy and I picked up the yellow T3, and we keep commenting on how well and easily we can find each other! Bright colours are defiantly a good call!

Mostly pissing people off.

I shot a bear banger at a friend (we were running around a big pond in Airdrie, he was on the other side). It was so loud he crapped his pants. We saw a lady get off her bike and check her tires LMAO.

Lol I just about spit my beer up. That was good!

Yes you got my attention, been called a lot worse and that stuff doesn't bug me anyway. Lol
I'm still looking for the RIGHT radio, but these BCA radios sound like the ticket, I like the programmable channels and the ease of switching from one to another. Looks like a good product.


The comment about the pencil flare was a great piece of advice, I didn't think of it and it also makes sence. Going out Monday to find one, to add to my survival kit. Thx Barry for the tip!

This in my opinion is a good thread.

I will have to look for some flares to. Good thought. Got a flash light and a lazer pointer but flares would be good to have for sure

 

[sledneckx69]

I found another place that sells them, http://www.mec.ca, don't know if they are any good or not. For $27, definitely worth a try.

It's a great post, who cares about the title. I too will be adding pencil flares and some other stuff to my collection. Thanks for the post!

Cabella's, Campers Village both have the Flare's and Launching Pen's. Lori at Zacstracks also sells them https://snowsafety.infusionsoft.com/app/storeFront/showProductDetail?productId=235 Bear Bangers also work on the same launcher / pen

Doo u have any pics of u and ur buddy doubling on this yellow T3?

 

[sledneckx69]

A few other nifty ideas for starting fires for an accidental night over, steel wool & a 9V battery (just make sure you put electrical tape over the terminals while in storage), and if you have a lighter, dryer lint. Both forms are light and compact.

[Joholio]

I found another place that sells them, Mountain Equipment Co-op ? MEC ? Shop climbing, cycling, running, yoga and more, don't know if they are any good or not. For $27, definitely worth a try.

I have the MEC launcher. Works fine with the bear bangers and flares, no issues.

Should almost take that pic. make a mini bill board and stick it at the parking lot entry of every area, well except the booze. Don't want to "promote drinking and sledding"! "If you don't have it, you NEED to go get it"! Haha, put search and rescue out of business!

 

[trailrider]

I picked up the pencil flares at Whole sale sports. They have a good selection of diff types and extras.

 

[Chump]

Canuk tire has a good set of pencil flares to. Comes with bangers and diff flares
