Nice! Is that the sand trap??? I was kinda thinking/wondering if it was something like that. pretty cool. I wonder what one would do if say No Kidding was full of water? Could be pretty tough and possibly frightening.

11-13-2009, 03:45 PM #3Yep, that's it. Would be intimidating, fortunately it's real easy to check water in there, and walk back to the car...

Yea, I would enjoy that. Time to start thinking about making it happen. I need to check on the dates and see what friends of mine want to go, I can probly only make it for 2 or 3 days tops.
I need to get out and meet you guys though and do some tough canyons.
Strong work!

is that a rope tarp ? probably easier to use and more versatile than a potshot (?)

11-13-2009, 07:44 PM #6You don't need friends for freezefest, there will easily be 8 or more people doing canyons on weekdays and 30 - 50 on the weekend! More and more people show up every year. Originally Posted by forum8fox

Yea I realized I don't NEED friends for the canyoneering aspect, although I like to hang with my buds. Besides that they help offset the cost of gas, make the drive more enjoyable, and possibly will drive thier car instead of me having to drive mine.

Dan,
Looks like you had a great trip. I was checking out the sand trap pictures, if I am following the concept when you pull it down it inverts itself and dumps the sand? When is Tom going to be selling it?

11-15-2009, 01:50 PM #9that is pretty much the idea. it never really inverts, so much as it just empties itself out. Originally Posted by moab mark

Inverted was probably the wrong term. What are you guys using to load all the sand? Hands, small shovel?

I had just pulled down 3 potshots after a 60ft rap at the Lake and 2 of them split at the seams, so I figured there had to be another way......so friction and surface area led me to design and make(my wife Maria being a FAA Rigger) the Maxi-Pad,aka Sandtrap(the politically correct version). Have fun out there......pass the pad (trap)please!

11-18-2009, 05:40 PM #19I'm assuming that's the khaki green (ish) folded over, sand filled item that folks are rapping off of. Makes so much sense! I'm intrigued at the ghosting possibilities! Originally Posted by sasteve49
