We didn’t end up making it happen this year. A bunch of us bailed at the last minute. Related - I just learned about a route called the pfiffner traverse that really appeals to me. 78ish miles so qualifies more as fully size death hike but I am definitely gonna give it a go in the next year...
Thanks for the suggestions. I would prefer to do something in the hills and get that up and down and even be off trail. That way it would translate more directly to hunt training.
Wondering if a few people local to the front range would be interested in arranging and planning some sort of challenging off trail hike or series of hikes. Maybe some of you are familiar with the Exo guys and their Hunt Backcountry podcast and the Death Hike (as named by them) that they do...
No I don’t think so but if you it were a bit higher it could right? I also don’t have a good grasp of how the skeleton can move around depending on their actual position.
How was the shot in terms of up/down hill?
Right maybe not. I think worth messing with arrow set up before next year. After all his first and most important principal is integrity of the arrow - even if it hits something hard it shouldn’t be breaking.
Just spit balling here - Could the arrow have penetrated the scapula and then as the shaft whips around as it starts to pass through broken off? That would maybe explain the broken arrow and possible lung hit.
That’s rough!
Are you guys familiar with Ed Ashby and the arrow set ups he is recommending. Think he’s right that one of his set ups would have gone through the shoulder in a scenario like this (if that’s in fact what happened).
