Is there a more shocking /out/ place than Mt. Everest? Do you have any neard dead /out/ experience? If youd die while /out/ would you want to rest there or do you want your bodie to be return to your family?
>>621608
i wouldn't care i would be dead. but my family would probably want my body back. but yea if you die in a place like everest summit, you can't really expect to get it back.
i have tons of near death experiences, all of them happened outside. but none of them camping/hiking or normal /out/ stuff. they are all from jobs being on boats, or when i was a lifeguard, and then my combat stories.
if death shocks you go to the vietnam memorial in DC. it really hits you when you see all the names.
Kangchenjunga and K2 are way more dangerous. Both are around 20% death rate.
> graveyards
> 100% deathrate
Get on my level.
>>621613
Yeah but the sheer amount of bodies all over Everest is quite shocking.
One time I got sucked out in a rip current, if that counts. Was terrifying.
I don't have any near death /out/ experiences because I'm a coward.
>>621608
nearly crashed while flying a glider twice, if that counts as /out/ (one close as fuck emergency landing with a 180° spin during landing, reverse parking that think next to a tree)
oh and one terrible accidental ski jump, going to fast, losing control, jump over a ridge, no fun
nothing too scary so far
Blue Hole in the Red Sea has a bunch of deaths as well. I'm not into cave diving because I'm not insane, but I bet there's quite a few bodies down there that haven't been retrieved.
benighted on a super loose death morain in the sierra. somehow found myself on the 45 degree leading face, with blocks literally the sizes of houses barely balanced above me. every step caused varying sized landslides, some loosing boulders of a couple thousand pounds. basically ended up sprinting across and up the face, hoping to get to the top before the chaos following me caught up. somehow managed to.
>>621693
I don't even dive and cave diving scares the shit out of me.

Thrice, in similar situations.
1) I fell down a three meter (9'10") cliff with around 60 kg (130 lbs) of equipment. I landed between rocks and the side-pockets of my packback broke the fall, since I tipped over in the air and landed sideways. I started falling face-first. A foot either way and I would've dashed my brains over a pointed rock.
2) A piece of turf slid from under my feet on my way down another cliff. I fell forward about 1,5m (4'11") and hit my face on a pointy rock. My ~50kg pack pushed me down hard and I had my 15 kg (33 lbs) radio right behind my head. My gasmask saved my life.
3) I slid down a wet cliff and almost got in under a boat and into the water with the same amount of gear. I would probably have drowned if the boat hadn't crushed me.
My job is fucking dangerous.

cave diving is the scariest shit on earth
Innawoods in Tennessee when I was younger.
Was running across a log over a semi-deep stream, just deep enough and cold enough that I didn't want to soak my boots through. Anyway, on the middle of the log, there was a broken branch pointing like straight up, about 4 inches long and an inch thick.
Me, in my infinite /out/ wisdom, decide it would be a good idea to cross this log semi-carelessly, and I slip on the moss growing on it and fall face-forward.
My eyesocket ends up missing the branch by like an inch, it just barely grazed my left ear, and I rolled off the right of the log into the water.
I get up and clean myself off, my friends are laughing at me because they only saw me fall, not the danger, and I fall in behind them as they cross the stream. I didn't say anything, but I thought "damn, I should be dead" and for like a good half-hour my heart was pumping super fast and I was all coked up on adrenaline. Strangely enough I wasn't in shock, which happened like two other times, one when a dumb idiot at the range accidentally discharged his 12ga like 4 inches from my toes and cratered the sand in front of me, and the other when I stubbed my toe on this stupid fucking cat statue my mom had that she used as a door stopper. Split my big toenail right down the middle and cut my toe a bit. I took a wet rag to clean up the blood a bit, but the water on the rag was fucking ice cold and the ice water getting at the nerve endings under the split toenail fucking knocked my bitch ass out and I fainted like a bitch sitting in the bathroom on the toilet.

>nothing too scary
Our definitions of scary vary quite a bit anon
>>622056
I dunno, if it's a really dangerous situation I don't get scared much, but when I see a snake 5m away from me I flip my shit, so we all have our problems
I feel like in a situation that is dangerous, once I go
>fuck, I might die here
once I break that threshhold I lose the fear and just stay calm and carry on
I remember one time I had a mild heatstroke and dehydration while climbing a mountain in the pyrenees during the afternoon (I was being an idiot, don't try this at home) without the necessary water
right under the peak I realized I had gotten myself into some bad shit, so I stumbled down that motherfucker in a sort of semi-limbo vegetative state, there were so many close calls on that descent I nearly fell to my death atleast twice, but I also knew I couldn't stop because resting would be most likely be fatal too, since noone would come up here until the next day
I can't remember most of the descent, but that shit was no joke
anywhere, the near plan crash was probably a closer call though
I would love to get some sweet gear off of dead dudes up there.
Werent they able to remove grren boot's roomate? How come they cannot remove green boots? If they could I guess the question becomes should they. He has become a landmark of sorts.

your job isn't that fucking dangerous, faggot.
i was a sapper. not only did i scale cliffs every few weeks, i jumped out of planes twice a year to keep my certification. i also used to jump into lakes from helicopters. and that was just my training shit.
i have had my face touch a 2000 pound bomb. i have literally saved thousands of peoples lives.
you think your job is dangerous, but who are you even doing it for? who the fuck is ever going to invade sweden? and from your stories you seem like you just don't run down hills well.
we had a whole week of running up and down hills in our pathfinding week. that was basic. and i have badges to prove how well i run up and down hills after that.
you seriously thought you were going to die from a head injury that a gas mask protected you from? are you fucking retarded?
a gas mask has no protection. it is a bended membrame. nigger if you were going to die you would have died, a plastic membrane didn't save you.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

I really doubt drowning is an "easy way to die", it's one of the most violent deaths as far as I've noticed.

Mt Everest truly is a scary place. I remember a story about a german climber. She died on one of her climbs while trying to save one of her team-members. She just sat down in the snow on top of a cliff and froze to death. Her body remained there, sitting, eyes open and with her black hair flowing in the wind. Other climbers taking the same route swore that she would stare at them.

try harder, douche. people have fun doing what you consider a 'job'. you think your job is dangerous, but who are you even doing it for? Finding WMDs in Iraq?
I'm sure you consider yourself a hero, yet you're nothing more than a welfare queen. you are paid to spend 90% of your time sitting on your ass.

when I was twelve I was building a tower in the woods. it was legit like 30' tall. i cut down trees for the main supports, and then used saplings and branches for the cross-beams. it was all going swimmingly until one day i was at the very top nailing in some more supports at the top (i had intende to use this thing to swing from with my harness btw) and the support i was standing on popped loose and i fell all the way to the ground. i fell down the middle and managed to not hit or mangle myself in the crossbeams on the way down. i also miraculously managed to avoid being impaled on all the sharp sapling stumps that littered the whole area.
i did however land on top of my legs and busted my hips up. after smacking the ground i puked and dragged myself all the way home crying, because i couldn't walk. doc said i sprained my hips and had some blunt force trauma, but no internal bleeding and it was unbelievable that the way i landed i didn't crack my pelvis in half. o well. if i had died out there i would have wanted nature to reclaim me on way or another.
a couple weeks later i pushed the tower over and that was the end of of that :[

You only bring exactly as much as you need.
I remember reading a story written by some guy who left another to die, there's literally nothing you can do.
If you try to help them it's very likely you will die yourself, and waiting any longer means you cant make it to the top, so people keep going. Fucking weird moral situation but there is NOTHING you can do so why should you cut your trip short. Its something like $25K just to make the hike.

How is it relevant? I'll tell you why. Because when piss-ant faggots like you come around thinking your hot shit, and then you hear the roar of my 90 lb beast and see the silencer of my rifle as I stamp out my fire at zero dark thirty, then everything goes to black, you will dial back your faggotry and run.

most dangerous situation I've been in while diving was at Cortez banks hunting for lobster, I had 330 psi of air at 130ft and made it up with no air in my tank. ran out at 20ft
I would love to do cave diving but I want to do it after I get rid of the B.C. and am using just a tank and backplate, the BC is just too bulky and catches on so much shit when hunting and just trying to get into holes after lobsters.

It was a game reserve, they were fairly used to people and had stolen our meat off the braai earlier and hung about.
We were heading back from another camp in the dark that we had snuck out to, we were with a school tour to the area.
Mate and myself had big flashlights that we would flash behind us when they got too close and they would jerk back from the light.
We just fucking legged it hey.
Shame, a few years later a boy from my old school was in the same reserve with the same tour and got attacked by hyenas in his tent.
Makes me always realise how lucky and stupid I was sneaking out in the dark.

When I was a kid we had to climb a 45 degree smooth rock surface in England with tiny little ledges to use as holding. bare in mind we had no mountaineering experience or training, I tried to rush past the slow coaches along a slightly harder route and i lost my balance leaning backwards, I barely caught the ledge, only about a centimetre away.

Just recently I got caught on top a a mesa is New Mexico as a severe storm rolled in. First the wind started blowing dust everywhere so I couldn't see or breathe, then the rain and thunder started. Had to hike back a couple miles with lightning striking all around me with a camera tripod on my back. Probably the riskiest thing I've experienced in a while.
I also once kayaked out to an island to camp and a storm blew in during the night so I decided to break camp and head home before it got too bad. Crossing shipping channels at night with no lights and really choppy weather was exciting.
When I was 5 I fell off a horse and rolled down a steep hill, stopping only a few feet from the banks of a flooding river.

I almost went over a 20ft waterfall once, due to some really stupid swimming choices. Literally clung to the last rock available in a pinch grip and my feet were poking over the falls. Another guy came and gave me a hand back up onto the rocks. It was actually strangely serene while it was happening but afterward I was like "Holy fuck!"

Or you could have died in an avalanche for being a massive fucking dumbass. Jesus Christ, educate yourself you gaper.
Well I once drank so much at a party and had to walk home in some nice suburban snow, knew I was passing out on the way, took off my shoes, and walked home either in bare or socks feet, can't remember exactly, but the brisk feel of snow on the feet kept me awake long enough to make it home and live.

Stepped on snake in the Indonesian jungle. My friends' reaction was to slowly back away. Turned out to be the most dangerous type of snake in the area. Glad nobody told me that at the time, just nice smiles and a lot of distance.
Was also held by gun point several times in the same area, mostly around illegal mines and logging areas. Most of my dangerous /out/-experiences involves people being people, which is rather dissapointing.
>>625005

Called the sheriff once we got off the creek.
Not sure you could call any of these near-death experiences. Most of them were just mildly dangerous, but they were very frightening to me at the time.
>boy scout camping on a lake in wisconsin, get hit by an extremely powerful microburst at night with multiple waterspouts. Trees falling everywhere, had to hide under my tent platform and cling to it.
>scout hiking in philmont up on the tooth of time, scaling the scree below the summit. jump on a giant pillar of rock about 20 feet tall, it's actually got a hairline crack all across its base so it starts to fall. I had to very carefully tiptoe off of it to avoid falling and breaking a leg or being crushed.
>capture the flag in the woods in illinois, I got lost. had to follow a river back to farms.
Then there are the not scary, but likely much more dangerous things that happened:
>swimming on a beach in puerto rico, checking out fish. one of them is a small, ugly brown fucker sitting on the bottom like he doesn't give a fuck about me. almost touch it, then decide not to. I ask a local kid about it and he goes in, has a look, then comes out and tells everyone not to go in the water until it's gone; it's a stone fish.
>checking out national dune park in arizona with my parents when I was young, I had just finished reading Dune and I wanted to go way up into the park because I loved the dunes in Michigan and thought they were basically the same size. We had no water, could easily have become dehydrated and lost just like that French family that mostly died there this year. Luckily my parents told me no.
Basically, if you're in a scary situation, probably one of the most important things to do is not be scared. which is, of course, much harder than it is to say. Conversely, if you are out in nature and you are not at all scared, there is probably something you aren't thinking of that you need to be more mindful about. Nature demands respect to enjoy.

Same here, when I was trying to swim out of it got hit over and over by huge waves I didn't see coming. Didn't even know where the fuck I was, but it let up long enough for me to catch my breath and swim out
>>628228
.... youve never seen a tent without a rainfly/with see thru paneling on the top sides?
No near-death experiences, but several oh-shit-oh-shit-oh-shit ones.
---
Urbex, in the bowels of some decrepit storm water intake/pumping station.
My headlamp goes out, and it's cave dark.
There's steep pipe & valves everywhere to snag on, walkways that are half-missing, and empty concrete pits ~10ft deep, no ladders.
Ended up using my cell phone w/ the messaging app open, because the screen was mostly white. (The phone itself didn't have any 'flashlight' functionality.)
>I take at least three lights now
---
More urbex. Climbing a steel ladder on the side of a old water tower, no safety cage, and the welds holding the thing to the scaffolding had broken off above me. Didn't know it when I started climbing. After I had reached high enough to notice, my weight was acting like a lever on the unsupported section of ladder, and it started drifting away from the structure.
I hustled down, two rungs at a time until I got down to a section that was still well-attached. With my weight off it, the top part hugged back up against it.
---
Kayaking in Ohio, and didn't know about a low-head dam ahead of me. The water was higher than usual, and swift. I didn't think I'd have time to make it to shore, and would end up going over the damn, maybe losing control in the process.
Didn't realize just how dangerous those things are until talking with a ranger about it later. 'Drowning machines', he calls them.

Was attacked by a dog once, big Alsatian
I had earphones in so didnt hear it, it came up behind me and jumped on my back and bit my neck, it clamped on good and sted on my neck for a bit before some old guy bashed it with a stick and it fell off
meanwhile the owner was stood there going "come down please, dont do that please" in the weakest voice ever
we backed off with this guy waving a stick until the dog got bored
tfw ruined my bargain coat and newish t-shirt
It happened literally maybe 50 feet from a kiddies playground too

Covering your skin in ash from the fire prevents bugs from raping you, just so you know for next time.
You can also do it covering yourself in mud, but I strongly suggest you burn the mud or heat it up in the fire first, to kill off any nasty shit that's in the earth.

Personally I would want to die trying to help someone. What a great death.

I would want a death like that.

Jesus. The fact that death is giving you the finger should be enough to make you turn around.
Nearly died in a kayak once.
Didn't actually get any instruction on how to use the fucking thing, just got thrown a boat, and a paddle, and told to go at it in a lake. eventually I fucked up and the thing tipped over, and because I didn't know you could tip it back over I struggled to get out. In my struggle I got my leg jammed and fought with the boat until i eventually ran out of air and passed out. I woke up on the beach staring up at my friend who, as it turns out, had seen me, jumped in, ripped me out, pulled me to shore, and resuscitated me.
Had a bruises all over my legs for weeks.

Nah, although the "instructor" was at definite fault, I couldn't blame him and ignore my own idiocy. I got into a fucking 1 man boat and never even thought about what to do if shit went south.

its dangerous becuase so many unexpected things can happen, forgetting the exact passage you took, disturbing the surface so the silt obscures the way you came so you cant see shit. you need the training and experience to know what to do. im an open water diver, and the level of experience you need for specialised stuff like this is crazy.
>>641866
You've obviously never been in the military.
On a long march, it's not uncommon for as many as 90% of the troops in formation to be asleep, especially after 12 hours of marching. You end up half-awake, following the guy in from of you, who's following the guy in front of him, rinse and repeat until you get to the front of the column, who's the guy navigating.
It's uncommon for someone to walk out of formation, but not unheard of.

Dying in nature must be the best way to go, how you will die is the problem, but to be honest if one day I die in the forest I want my body to stay there.

completely agree, the last funeral i had to go to was fucking beyond retarded. i come from a christian family and throughout the whole thing it was "everlasting life" "god loves us"
