Orange levers snapping in cold weather is exactly why I stick with the yellow ones.

Kit saves your sanity and weekends, worth the extra cash.

what worked for me was calling my bank right there from the lobby and putting it on speaker so the manager could hear me explain how their employee took a cash payment AND ran my card without permission. my bank reversed it in like 3 days cause they flagged it as fraud immediately. honestly making the hotel staff hear you talk to the bank gets them to suddenly "find" a way to fix things real fast.

You ever read about how old miners used to mark trails with rock piles? I heard a story once where a guy found a whole network of those on an old map from the 70s that led to a spring. It's crazy how those hand drawn details can be more reliable than a satellite image. I think people don't realize how much the land changes in just a few years, especially with washouts. A paper map is like a snapshot of what people actually saw and walked, not just what a computer guessed at.

Wow @finleym37 waited 15 years to question slides?
