after watching that video of the person dropping and getting stuck in a bomb hole, i thought is there a Backcountry/Avalance Saftey cult.

is there one? if so, can i get an invite.

if there isnt, lets make a cult and post backcountry tips, equipment, conditions, how to's, proper ways to dig pits, how to find weak layers, etc...

ya dig?

no, he meant you cant learn what you need to learn from a cult. you need to take classes, and more importantly, get out in the BC with someone experienced, and learn from them.

i suppose. but 99% of the kids on this site should NOT be giving avvy advice, since most of them also think you are a wuss if you dont duck ropes.


go browse around on TGR, its a wealth of information.

Strict moderation could help that. It could be a good place to get info on avvy courses before you take them. Of course it would not be a substitute, but it could be an ok cult.
