AK 77 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by Creek Boy: Not buying anything. Except for crampons, ice axe, and will consider an avie lung. Think those will become as standard as beacons et al for avie gear in a few years... That could be a very dangerous step, if it made people think that by having such equipment they could survive avalanches, and so take more risks. Oh, and 'et al' is for people, 'etc' is for things, high school teacher! Let's pedantic! Link to post Share on other sites

AK 77 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 What, you mean you won't be drowning in powder in Hiroshima? That was a 'No' from me, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Its more dangerous not to have one if caught in an avie. It wont save my life per say, though using it would help increase the time duration Im able to breathe, hence it may help increase the chances of me not getting CO2 poisioning from breathing in/out the same location. Just as you need a shovel, beacon to find/be found, and a probe to feel around I bet they will become part of that package as well. heres a first hand account avalung product information black diamond all avalung products Yes, simple mistake. Just proofed a teacher's report and that was stuck in my head Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hey kuma, did you end up checking out that dakine camera backpack yet, or isn't it in yet? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 ebc no green for me i want blues. Yes park skis and i dont care if someone has the same skis as me. AK you are right but cb has a plan to try to climb more this spring thus he needs crampons and an axe. We wont be bringing them on every trip though thats for sure. but above happo past the spot you got to youll need them at times. I thought dans girl just needed a throat op thats it. I will check. She wont be riding this season I think though. I bought an avalung mainly for the wife. I wont her to have everything she might need. Link to post Share on other sites

Dizzy, EBC, AK...bushpig? yes i might be interested in one. they are not crazy expensive and can increase your chances. it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be riding crazier terrain and think you are untouchable, it will just make you more prepared or have a better chance of survival in the avalanche terrain you already ride anyway. if you have a beacon it doesn't seem crazy to have an avalung. AK you have this theory about helmets too. but if i'm going to crash and break my arm and fracture my skull at the same time, i'd rather just break an arm, and have my head ok because i wore a helmet. you can't wrap yourself up in cotton wool it's true - but you can protect areas like your head. the avalung offers you the chance to breath if you are caught in an avalanche. i've been completely submerged (not in an avi)and know first hand what that suffocating sensation is like.
