I'm saddened to hear about your brother and the situation he's left everyone in. The only thing I'll say on that is that walking away is often the only thing you can do. Had you tried to stop him, you'd probably only end up hurt with him.
I've dealt with people on this place for a lot of years now that know more than I do about everything. They listen to nobody. Have all the answers. Can break anything, and get nothing done while breaking it. They preach their crap at me about ME being dangerous, and I'd sooner not be anywhere in the vicinity of them when they're doing anything, because they have no idea how dangerous they are.
The way I look at gear is that it can kill you in a second. I don't consider the things I do to be taking chances. I know with reasonable certainty what is going to happen when I'm doing something, and I'm comfortable doing it, and I don't spend my days worrying about what could happen with that 1 in 1 million chance. I don't ask anyone else to step in and do what I do, and I certainly don't want anyone around me preaching about how dangerous I am while I'm doing it. That's a dangerous distraction.
Mabey I'm wrong, but I tend to think my lack of scars is more a reflection of good judgement than good luck. I just don't think that idiot proofing the world is good for me. Others will do what they'll do, and I can't change that. Rod
