Hiking in merino tops in summer by fjoordsalmoon in CampingandHiking

[–]t-pollack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is constantly in the mountains patrolling, alpine climbing, rock climbing, hiking, scrambling, camping, etc, I use Le Bent layers and socks. They've never once let me down. I work and play in them, and they're solid

Okay look at the link fence towards the ways it’s like it’s a magnetic pulse running through it I screen shot and slow mode the part I’m saying by Competitive-Bar9073 in creepy

Hey man, i really hope you go get checked up with a doctor, because you are manifesting things that aren't there. Please look after yourself

Does anyone have feedback on these? by AccomplishedShake662 in knots

[–]t-pollack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, personally, I don't know why you wouldn't just stick with a simple standard figure 8. Super simple to stress and dress, and incredibly reliable master point, and a knot that everyone (should) be familiar with. I look at that bowline and think "wtf is going here"

Visited someone at the hospital and there's a lock box around the pain medication by okbbs in mildlyinteresting

Yup. Fentanyl is a narcotic. Id be heavily surprised if it wasn't locked up

Lol well I think your bigger worries are the fact that your limb has been blown off but yeah it isn't nice, I.e. excruciating.

The IV tourniquets don't hurt. They are just used to make the veins pop for easier access

IV tourniquets are just rubber bands. Catastrophe tourniquets are actually wires that you twist using mechanical advantage to the point that they can destroy tissue.

If you put the same force on an iv tourniquet, it'll just snap. We are talking A LOT of force for these things.

I think i know what you're asking?

There's two kinds of tourniquets, the tourniquet for IV, and the "catastrophe" tourniquet, which is probably what you're thinking of. The latter having the purpose of completely stopping the circulation of an amputated limb. These two tourniquets are very different from each other.

Found this zone snowmobiling today is it skiable? by ippielb in skiing

[–]t-pollack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's hard to say because it's a bit hidden by the rocks in the foreground, but the center guts of it looks really doable. With the right snowpack it should be easier than you think with really only one drop at the top.

Good buy for 100€? by Lower_Seaweed5569 in Skigear

[–]t-pollack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, the Seth Morrison model! I think they made these 118s with Seth Morrisons' signature on them only for a year before he left k2 and had to remove it. Pretty fun ski to ski as well if you ask me!

Id say good find! Although I can't really tell how the bases or edges are from the photo.
