Share your 'Lessons Learned'
I was reading a TR just today over on the CC about Medieval Chamber and am happy to hear that wisconnyjohnny shared a detail about (I'm paraphrasing) how he read a bunch of beta about Morning Glory Bridge and the issue of yelling "rope" since many hiking tourists will not know what expression means. I started a thread a year or so about that every issue and like to think (tooting my own horn) that people have read that, thought about it and are wising up now.
In other words, we are evolving as the 'sport' continually grows in record numbers and I like to see trends and patterns that can potentially help all of us.
So it got me thinking as to what are YOUR lessons that you have learned (in one or numerous experiences) that you would like to share. It may be preaching to the choir or maybe the eternal lurker will gain some valuable information by reading some of these thoughts.
*The point of the thread is to let members post their idea, while keeping it sweet and short. (It could turn into an exhausting list very quickly with pages upon pages of information just from one member alone!)
After 15 years of canyoneering thus far here are just a few of my lessons learned:
-I wish a bought a rope bag from day one. That would of saved a bunch of headaches and rope management in many canyons.
-I wish I knew about the triple clove many years ago. That's my now go-to hitch.
-Always bring a headlamp/Life Straw in my gear.
Like to share any of yours?
