Gradient is not just The Elixir of Youth, under some weather conditions, it can kill you.

Someone DID die the other day, slipping from a cliff while hiking with her husband. Can’t remember if it was in NY.

Hiking. Useless if it’s going to take your life.

And it was pitch black at 5:30 pm a few days after the winter solstice. Plus hiking near a cliff in this conditions?

What an idiot.

I like hiking, but not that much.

Rope Up....

You are more likely to driving likely to driving near your house.

You are exactly right.

[SaveFerris]

(You are more likely to driving likely to driving near your house.)

OK.

😜

[billorites]

Why do I think alcohol was involved?

[Paladin2]

Not much good happens after dark [except maybe in the bedroom].

[Codeflier]

Hitting the sauce early tonight?

[Codeflier]

Bump

[nickcarraway]

You are more likely to die driving near your house than hiking.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I do the occasional winter hike but not in the rain.

Rain is the time to be indoors by the fire sipping spiced cider.

Why do people hike?

[The_Media_never_lie]

I always carry a light, water, a whistle and a CCW when hiking. Sometimes I ignore the “no firearms” sign.

[Beowulf9]

This is the age old answer. But I have to drive. I do not have to hike and put my life in danger.
