    And we still don't know where he is exactly. ....

    Man this is frustrating...I cant imaging what must be going through Sam's mind right now. Hopefully he is staying calm and going to think his way out if it. If you cant ride back up the mountain, then you have only one choice. Go down and keep left (or right).

    More from Kev - The tire was destroyed when it touched the chain. Like Ned said, the bead won't hold. In Kev's words "it wouldn't stay on no matter how much French wire I found"

    Ugh...

    Quad 293, but it wasn't working.
    He was towing 262, so they took that tank and pump, strapped it on his body and continued like that :clap
