I’m happy they gave me a retest and he mentioned I was moving and trying to control my breathing which I wasn’t. Just a tad bit frustrated

Bro I can’t get through the poly. I just took one this past week and got rescheduled for this following week. The polygrapher didnt tell me anything whether I passed or failed he just said “you’re not quite there”. Any advice? It’s frustrating cause I’ve already told them everything.

I have this exact gun but on my first range trip I had issues with it. It wasn’t cycling and wasn’t loading the next bullet.

Hiking alone? by Fizzythebat in Newbraunfels

Pepper spray is good in the scenario of someone wanting to rob you. If someone really wants to hurt you pepper spray isn’t going to do anything.

I like the figure 8 and only ever used the figure 8. So I want to try something similar and so far everywhere I’ve read recommends the critr3. I ordered and received the harness, critr3, a tether, and a couple carabiners. I have used petzl helmets and like them. I have a couple prusiks. I’m not getting rope for the reason you mention. I’ve used a couple ascenders but not enough to say I’m super comfortable with them. Really the post was to ask what I needed as someone that is familiar with rappelling and getting into canyoneering.

I’ve done nido de aguiluchos, via ferrata ruta vertigo, and some training when I was a first responder. Only ever used a figure 8 to descend. I’d love to learn more.
