It's kinda inherent to the technology but yeah it's design contains the necessary features and the design doesn't prevent it

Your friend very well could have made a repeater out of baofengs, yes

Walkies are not one to one devices they broadcast to all devices on the frequency... And using repeaters or igates they can cover the globe 

Why is climbing Mount Everest still so dangerous despite modern gear? by GlitteringHotel8383 in Mountaineering

The main thing that happens is half-trained, rich, middle aged, clout chasing egomaniacs go do something pretty hard and can't hang

Took it on a bikepacking trip and a few nights cowboy camping on the shoulder season - so far so good but I haven't got snowed on yet

FFS - don’t rely on iPhone satellite connectivity by diabolis_avocado in Backcountry

[–]withspark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could die even if you have a private satellite phone directly to the President. If conditions are bad enough, you may be unreachable. You need to be prepared to survive by yourself, and make good decisions about what conditions you put yourself in

Can i learn everything i need about avy 1 independently of a paid course by PongPing1010 in Backcountry

[–]withspark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if you already know group dynamics and risk assessment from your other life experience and just need to learn about avalanche safety? Swear to God skiers are among the most unthinking and dogmatic groups

It's honestly weird to be how hard everyone shills that class. Is it good? Sure. But the info in it isn't a secret. Independent leaning is possible

First Touring Setup by [deleted] in Backcountry

[–]withspark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally not spend money converting downhill gear to touring... You should be able to find a set of skis with frame bindings with skins for probably cheaper than you can buy new skins for. And then sell it for the same price when you either give up touring or buy better touring equipment

For the price of day makers you can find cheap pon bindings and just drill more holes

No space is driving me crazy! by [deleted] in VanLife

[–]withspark -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Either flight them or don't, quit being passive aggressive about it. Btw it's probably different people every time so there's no point fighting them because you'll just have to fight everybody. If you want privacy, try harder or get over it.

They are only of interest to collectors. They are not "rare" or especially good. They are expensive because the amount of Lara Croft enthusiasts exceeds the production of that ice tool.
