Today we have many of our guys who like to push the envelop. Our gear is the best and it will protect us in any kind of conditions. But is still has limits. You may be protected from the heat and fire to an extent but you can only go as far as the SCBA will let you. You are going to run out of air sooner or later.

It does not matter on the skill of a skier or snowboarder because a beginner could still collide with you in that moment where you are…

This mindset went unchallenged throughout elementary and middle school when many of my chosen pastimes required minimal skill. It was not until high school that I began to feel uneasy about my lack of effort.…
