What not to do
Original post
We often read of people going tramping while being unprepared for what is before them. Have a look at this rather worrying video which fortunately turns out ok for the trampers. Skip to day two of their trip, an attempt to go over Gunsight Pass. The only correct decision they made was to turn back.

Getting separated once is bad work, doing it twice is very hard to understand. Whoever was with him needs a royal kick up the arse.
It’s one of those things that baffles me.
Having a gun doesn’t automatically make you a hunter or a bushman yet the cart often goes before the horse.
Agree with PhilipW
Could’ve been worse though, they could’ve shot each other 🙄
