At first glance, I bristled a bit at your post...appeared to be more spam...just what all of us here are trying to avoid on these bulletin board sites...then as I read your message in detail...I welcomed it. I am familiar with your site and have recommended it to others. The way I figure it, the more people we have seeking advice from those who are knowledgable and experienced in an area or an activity...the better it is for ALL outdoor lovers. Hopefully this dialog will foster fewer back country accidents, more respect for the outdoors and the people who go there, fewer emergency rescues, and a better feeling among all of us who love the outdoors. Thanks for the post...I for one welcome it.
