Sometimes the ignorance of the people posting here is stunning.
A buddy of mine on search & rescue ended up quitting after recovery became as common as rescue.
People from Atlanta or St. Louis who came out to hunt in Wyoming in the fall -
Who left in 75-degree weather only to get caught unprepared in a blizzard.

Same goes for wind - although the results aren't usually as deadly.
One problem with the internet is that some want the info that they imagine -
Even though there is tons of reliable data online -
Such as wind data, such as temperatures.

People such as these DESERVE getting slammed by headwinds.
Fact is - there are patterns to wind - albeit norms - not constant.
They are called "prevailing" winds for a reason.
But be my guest - putz right along.
