That totally makes sense to me.

Knowingly driving through a river and getting lost are on the same page?

You guys are just grasping here.


What about if your sled breaks down in the bush particle? Should have been better maintained? Should have had an extra?

I wasn't necessarily comparing the two indidents directly. Just merely pointing out that there are laws here to have people pay fines for "unnecessary" rescues.

I read this about three times trying to figure out what Northern thing a bush particle was.

If it weren't for idiots like those of you that swim in the ocean we wouldn't even need lifeguard services so if you need a rescue you can pay for a whole week of their salary!

And of course you could easily use the same argument against motorcyclists.

I get the point that people with brains hate stupid people, but do you really want the government deciding what's stupid and what's not? Or maybe we should all drive to work in a Ford Excursion with 20 airbags, sit in our safe little cubicles for 9 hours and go straight home....just to be on the safe side.

Exactly.

bite your freakin' tongue, my new sled only has two-tenths of a mile on it

If I'm riding alone, I never ride farther than my in-laws can drive their truck out to get me (all the trails nearby are close to roads) if I break down and can't fix the sled on the trail. I don't do mountain riding for the simple reason that I know for a fact that I'm not equiped to do so.

and I do have an extra sled
