replying to @sethayates @sethayates @last_adventurer @TETONsports @KovasP @suunto I spend $20,000 because Ja Rule told me to! #hikerchat

replying to @last_adventurer @last_adventurer @sethayates @MikeOffTheMap @KovasP @suunto That’s what makes #hikerchat awesome.

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A9 Make sure I'm in the best spot to survive and hunker down. And pray. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports It's a risky move, it could go both ways! Your mileage may vary! ;) #hikerchat

replying to @CAthroughMyLens @CAthroughMyLens @TETONsports Yes, definitely something to balance, relying on others, and learning things. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A9: Get below treeline. Pay attention to washes. Hunker down. Catch up on journal. Go through your whiskey. And nap. #hikerchat

This is the answer to pretty much ANY hiking question, isn't it? #hikerchat https://t.co/HmiNkHHSSG

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A9. Trust our gear & preparation. Then, just tough up, grin and bear it. Adapt. #hikerchat

All of the scouting programs, girls, boys, and explorer teach some good #outdoor skills. #hikerchat https://t.co/PdStxcf3Xs

replying to @bushwhackingfoo @bushwhackingfoo That sounds like a pretty crazy story! #hikerchat

Q10. Do you prepare for contingencies when planning an adventure? Why or why not? If so, how much planning do you do? #hikerchat

replying to @sethayates @sethayates @last_adventurer @TETONsports @KovasP @suunto The schadenfreude is strong with this one. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A9: get below treeline, use my 10 essentials to wait it out #HikerChat

replying to @last_adventurer @last_adventurer I almost never hike with others. It kind of ruins the goal of spending time with myself. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A1 #Hikerchat breakdown and cry and then you remember you have Hiker Insurance...aka C card! And shopping spree!

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports It didn't seem all that crazy at the time, but in retrospect I'm surprised I wasn't more freaked out. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A9. Find shelter if needed, other than that just do what you can to embrace it. We find a hearty laugh helps. #hikerchat

@last_adventurer A10: Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
I know the bail-out routes in case everything goes south.

replying to @last_adventurer @last_adventurer A10: Murphy's law is always on my mind. "What if" is a part of the planning. #HikerChat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports I love disaster tents in the Bahamas! #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports Panic, I have a video of me panicking actually. Flonne was not amused. #HikerChat
