Norma, you've gone up Whitney last week? Where's the TR?

Oh man this is great! Makes me want to get out there again!

Amazing clouds! Thanks for sharing.

Here are some pics from when it hit. I think they were taken somewhere in Kali closer to the epicenter: https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/www.icorva.com/Photography/WEBPICS/quake/1.jpg https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/www.icorva.com/Photography/WEBPICS/quake/2.jpg https://eispiraten.com/i...

Without picking apart Deadliest Warrior, it's just another show trying to compare apples and oranges. US Army Special Forces are primarilly a force multiplier... anyway, I'll stop while I'm ahead. Yeah it's just a show. I am in it for historical and entertaining value nothing else -- battle is won ...

I bought mine when I thought I was going to get a CCW. Compact little beasts. You didn't get CCW in OC? I thought it's only us LA County folks that get the shaft!

To be honest I am more interested in the self defense training with firearms then in just the pure sporting aspect of shooting. I try to hit the range to stay sharp with skills but I really want to get more into stuff that is taught by the "Systema" guys: By Konstantin Komarov - Major in t...

Congratulations Stacy & Curt! Thanks for the TR -- I really enjoyed reading about your adventure. Those first ascents are very special.

Love this picture

Awesome!

Keep going and stay safe.

I never claimed that gun control laws reduce crime. Never. Well then, we are done here -- Guns save lives in the hands of law abiding citizens and gun control laws don't reduce crime. Issue closed. All I said was that not all statistics go your way. Sure, I know that Scotland has a problem. But wha...

It is a simple truth that the United States has a murder rate that is at or near the top of the industrialized world. It is a simple fact that many advanced countries with much lower rates of violent crime have much stricter gun laws than we do. I am not arguing that we should change. The fact is t...

I already did that.

No. My issue is with you. You need to take some responsibility here. You quoted the statistics. Now you're saying what? They made you do it? Huh? Made me do what? Statistics and facts are what they are, just because they don't fit your own agenda doesn't make them wrong. And I never said they don't...

There are times when you are in trouble, draw your firearm, point with intent to shoot and that alone is enough for the attacker to retreat. But I think I know what you mean here -- don't draw unless ready to fire -- agreed!

Take your statistical issues with National Crime Victimization Survey, 2000, Bureau of Justice Statistics, BATF estimates on handgun supply. It's their numbers. As I said earlier, I don't care about statistics -- they are only useful to refute the bogus claims that guns don't work and gun control do...

Of course, I am responding to lots of selective anecdotes, facts, and statistics with statistics of my choosing. However, as I've said before, if you drop the selective statistics and look carefully at the entire country, there is no clear correlation between violent crime and gun ownership or gun ...

Myth: Concealed carry laws increase crime Fact: Thirty-nine states , comprising the majority of the American population, are "right-to-carry" states. Statistics show that in these states the crime rate fell (or did not rise) after the right-to-carry law became active (as of July, 2006). Ni...

As for the woman who was over powered and outmatched: the fact that the law takes away both a person's legal right and ability to defend them self is irreconcilable.

Based on my Summer hike to San G via Vivian it's effort was [Baldy x 2.5]. If you are not conditioned to elevation (havent' been above 10000 in the last 3 days) once you hit 10,000 it's going to be a slow poke pace one painful step at a time. Baldy's exposure to 10k is very brief while on San G you ...

nice camo pattern demo!

Tempting ... but gotta give my knee a longer break ...

That's an awesome trek and pictures -- thank for sharing Norma!

Dave, I hope your injury heals fast and you get back on the trail soon.

That's not what the lawmakers agreed on. In national forests you are free to open carry but not in the national parks.
