Daftandbarmy's right. It's as wet as I've seen it here on the island in the 28 years I've lived here. One of my favoured bits of issued kit for this area is the gore tex sock. Waterproof to the knee, they can be a good morale booster when crossing the myriad streams and water features in our...

Hi all, Do we know if these are a once in a lifetime, or once a year item?

I can't tell you a darn thing about the course, but Victoria is a great place to live. What activities are you into? Short of running with bulls and bear baiting, we have almost everything here. Let us know what you like to do, and I'm sure us locals on the board can help you find a spot to go.

Just started Mockingjay, the 3rd in the Hunger Games series. I was quite surprised at how well developed the story is in this series.Totally engrossing, which I don't usually feel while reading books of the genre.

I like it, good effort for sure.

Duct tape and a timer?

Or get an F-18 to go inverted with them in a 4G inverted dive, while working on foreign relations. I'll donate a Polaroid Camera.

Good piece. Though I don't see the irony in the final statement. I say it's more a sign of progress. As much as it can be a PITA to deal with some of the enviro rules in the training areas, I  agree with the efforts.

Well, the next DP1 starts in a week, and I'm still waitlisted. Maybe next year? Must be a big backlog. As was mentioned above regarding more courses being pushed through in the summer, as the training is now shorter, no joy on that one. Still one per year. Good luck to all those who got in this...

PM me your e-mail address, and I can forward you the OP Order from an avalanche survival training and mountaineering course we did as part of adventure training. It may help you frame things as you put a proposal together.

Agreed with the above. And for the story of Byron in the article, I'd say it outlines problems with immigration, not health care reform.

Here's another from the US: http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=30181 "He claimed his name was Thomas Lowry, served with weapons Co. 3rd Battalion 5th Marines. Claimed he was awarded the Navy Cross along with Lt. Brian Chontosh in Iraq. A quick check of the list of recent Navy Cross award...

I carry a small alpine stove, and generally a small Bialetti espresso machine as well. I can have two shots cooked, served and the equipment stowed in under 7 minutes. It's a great way to stave off the effects of inclement weather, or the morale suppression team. It's usually only there on...

I was there last year too, and will be happy to answer any questions you have to the best of my knowledge. For us on the LFWA Reserve Squad, we qualified at the BCRA shoot in Chilliwack in early June. The top 20 were called first, but as not everyone was available for summer training and...
