So standing in line at turple bros waiting to buy a new muffpot, started bsing with a guy buyin a ton of gear for his first time in the mountains, he was askin what was good/bad and what all he needed so I told him the basic list ie beacon/prove/shovel/good pack and good warm gear ect ect, just as we are discussing avy stuff and the ast course some flat brimmed douche chimes in and says " you dont need any of that useless crap fawk I ride revy every other weekend and have never needed any of it" blah blah blah all I could say is if you dont wanna wear your gear no problem your not worth diggin out anyways, and beleive me when your under 5ft of snow youll be happy you and your friends have it, I was and its the only reason im here today, it just amazes me that there are still people on the mountain who dont wear the gear, get your ****e together yikes
