No need to bring up the obvious, but some activities add a little more spice to the game. You can't fall asleep at the wheel, and in fact you better learn how to play when you're beneath that wheel.
I was thinking of the inevitability of a leader fall and how important it is to have a good understanding of placing protection, rope work, and your own abilities.
For Boating the same applies and you're gonna need to know how to roll
I was watching a BASE jump video and it looked like so much fun. And it looked pretty dangerous also.
The two go lock step together-it better be really fun to be worth the big risk.
Nowadays things are a little more prosaic, and I'm too much of a fraidy cat to swim in the deep water but I like to hear how people prepare for their adventures.
So how do all you highballing loners and back country skiers get ready for a day in the field. When do you turn around, or portage, or whatever you need to do when it just doesn't feel right?
