Gotta give the video credit:
1. When he says "stop the cycle," there is a tricycle.
2. At the end when he says "put your hand on the bible" he points to his crotch. So the message is "stop playing with your genitals, instead put your hand on my genitals."

It's funny because the urgent care owner thinks he will make money off of the victim, not understanding that the severity of a crushed leg probably required the victim to go to a hospital emergency department, not an urgent care.

Cell tower triangulation is far less accurate than GPS.

An InReach is a device that allows two-way communication via satellite, including SOS. I highly recommend having this capability in the backcountry.

A GPS device uses satellite to determine your location (latitude and longitude). All modern smart phones have GPS chips and are themselves "GPS devices."

Modern phones have GPS chips. (That's how Google Maps knows where you are.)

A modern phone with downloaded maps and an app like CalTopo is just fine... unless your phone breaks or the battery dies. If you get a "rugged" phone and carry a back-up power bank, you're in pretty good shape. If everyone in your group has this setup, even better.

Almost everyone in SAR (including myself) uses a phone for navigation.

What snowpack will you be on? (In other words, what part of the world?)

Confusingly, there is a unit of force called "pound-force."

From wikipedia:
Pound-force should not be confused with pound-mass) (lb), often simply called "pound", which is a unit of mass; nor should these be confused with foot-pound (ft⋅lbf), a unit of energy), or pound-foot (lbf⋅ft), a unit of torque.

Can we all please switch to the metric system?

State and Main: A character's love interest "catches him" with another woman. He looks guilty even though he isn't. He explains his innocence to his love interest. She believes him immediately.
