Singapore doesn't have a problem with people littering.

So let me see if I have this straight: Freezing winter weather; gusts of snow blowing across the road; other cars slipping and sliding their way by... You're sitting in a nice flat pullout getting ready to put chains on. Jack the car up. Hmmm, stable... feels okay... Start putting the chain on the f...

Hey guys... Sorry, no, I didn't take Taco's post as a dig on SAR either. That's why I pointed out that SAR wasn't referred to in his post. Obviously I have some awareness of what the West Valley SAR team is up to. In San Bernardino County there is a very strict policy that you are not allowed to dis...

the author's confidence in "emergency services personel" involved, with exception going to the towing service, has been severely degraded It will be a VERY cold day in Hell before I'm "rescued" in my mountains I know Search and Rescue wasn't involved in the TC incident referred ...

Tuesday, September 30th - 7:00pm. WVSAR is responsible for the San Bernardino side of the Mt. Baldy area including 3-T's, Ontario, Cucamonga, etc., etc. over to the Lytle creek area.

They're having a recruiting meeting this month. I think it's the night of the 30th at Chino Hills Sheriff S...

Thanks to everyone who turned out and supported West Valley Search and Rescue at their fundraiser on Saturday. (Or, made a donation, or contributed support in any other way.) Apparently they had ~200 runners pre-registered for the 10K and 5K races!! That's not counting walk-ups, of course. Fantastic...

Just thought y'all might like to know: If you hike anywhere in the areas between Mt. Baldy and Lytle Creek, you might want to consider supporting the SAR team that's responsible for that area and for providing you with assistance should you or anyone in your party need it - West Valley Search and Re...

Okay, NOOB here, I'll chime in: Ice axes and crampons go together, or not at all. Think about it: Wearing crampons has a certain amount of risk in and of itself. Anyone who's worn them any number of times and hooked a crampon on their pant leg or something and fallen flat on their face can attest to...
