Re: Cross Country Route
Rogue, why don't you just drop the phony romantic affection that you have with your upcoming death? If that is what you are into take it somewhere else. All of us die someday. Its not like you are planning to do something unique. I knew a guy back in High School who was just like you in this regard. Always making comments about how close to dying he was. The downside is that the SOB is still around forecasting doom and gloom for his life. He has never really quite got it right.
Better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it!

Re: Cross Country Route
Sparky, I am not quite sure how you associate Rogues "Death Wish" mentality with my ego? Personally I am more into living as long as can so that I can do as many BP's as possible. If that is a ego problem for you then I will take it. And "sir" since you seem to know the process why don't you repeat your cure 10 times yourself?

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Cross Country Route
Hey guys...this name-calling crapola, crossing the line of forum etiquette - deletions?
No place for that here.
Got to admit that while highly skeptical of Rogue's plans, cannot wait to hear how it comes out.
See?...positive!

Re: Cross Country Route
This thread seems to derail whenever the "D" word is mentioned. It concerns some, annoys some and is neither here nor there for the rest. Rogue, you said you didn't want drama around it and it was irrelevant. Perhaps, if we all stop responding and reacting to it, it will go away, just like that.
But, what the heck do I know?

Re: Cross Country Route
Personally I think this discussion is interesting and at least partly relavent to rogues travels. I am not trying to stir any pot, but also not going to let someone have their character attacked without speaking up. I guess I am just a crazy stupid risk taker

My nephew had a true death wish, and finally succeeded in hanging himself. Big difference than taking a risk. I am glad people throughout history were not afraid to push boundaries....I like to live in houses and use computers and buy food at the store.

Re: Cross Country Route
I think what Rogue implies that he is OK with his own mortality so to speak and understands the inherent risks involved. He will take this risk in order to go after his dream of solitude and self reliance in the backcountry. The reward is hiking the Sierra OFF the PCT and without the safety net of thru-hikers with SAT phones, PLB's, etc. The guy wants to do it on his own terms.
I wish him the best, I just wish he'd take a walking axe and some traction devices. But I do think he's got the sense to back away from dangerous situations.
And you know, I envy the guy!! After battling my perceived mortality this year and suffering alot of mid-life anxiety, I wish I had the BALLS to walk out into the wilderness alone. Unfortunately my big trip is snowed under and shall be saved for a later date, but I am envious.
