3. Bears.
4. Hypothermia
5. Life and death survival tools: Satellite phone and SPOT personal satellite tracker.
6. Lightning.
7. High altitude sickeness.–an introduction on the Garfield Basin Trail.
8. My First Survival Experience complicated by High Altitude sickeness.
9. Survival: Weakened by sickness and attacked by High Altitude Sickness–HOW TO GET HELP?

The High Uinta’s TIE HACK HEROES
The following is a “Preliminary Report” on the amazing Tie Hacker Culture of the Uintas North Slope. It is a photo essay with the descriptive text acompanying each image from caption to comment. You will miss the text if you see it as a slide show. Click on the first image and then view one at a time to get the explanation of this incredible story of true unsung American heroes. By late Spring there will be an important updating, and after the 2010 summer/fall season, a completion of the story, including reports on important ghost towns and heretofore unpublished reports on at least one important tie hacker community in a remote, seldom visited North Slope drainage.
New website
Because of issues with FTP and Blogger we have been forced to create a new website. This website will be easier for Cordell to edit and do as he pleases without the need of a “tech guy”.
