OOA Show Episode 128, Mountain Man Down

You know you're hardcore when you're snowshoes are bright purple.

Despite this episode's title, we don't chat too much mountain man news. Instead, we burned a significant amount of the show incorrectly answering Outside Magazine's "Test Your Survival Skills"quiz! Let's just say, we might not be the first to give advice when it comes to landing a distressed Cessna, saving a child from a subway car, or stopping a vehicle careening down a mountain without breaks. Click here to take the test yourself. Good luck, hope you live.
