New site? Maybe some day.

So, my work put on an annual party...a kayaking trip.
41 ppl going down the pemigewasset, on a 10 mile ride.
With NO warning, 38 unexperienced kayakers, are thrust into class 2 rapids, with absolutely no training or any mention of 'rapids'
I have kayaked a bit and was picturing a nice calm float downriver.
This was not the case.
In my belongings, which were safely stowed in my camelback....
XD 40 cal handgun
wallet
keys
cell phone
digital camera
bag of schwag
glass peice
days supply of water
change of clothes
money
pack of smokes.
A good, survivalists list there yeah?
Yeah, NO.
going over.............'The Ledges'
Yeah.....Im like ...the what? ledges....?
yes the ledges......they took my body and belongings, along with my kayak and paddles and sucked them into a watery abyss.
I am pulled under this amazingly strong current to barely fend for my fucking life. As I am being swept literally 'down shits creek without a paddle' (or a boat, for that matter) I am thrust into several jagged rocks.....my legs took some NASTY hits. Luckily, I dont think I broke anything.
Needless to say, all of my stuff, 'safely' stowed away......WAS LOST.
Now, my legs are contused to the point that I can barely stand up, and Im out alot of $$ worth of shit.
Ok Im done.
That was my rant. |

Let the police know.
You don't want a handgun washing up somewhere. |
|
Ya no shit.....I called them today. |
|
I really doubt itll be washed up anywhere...the place they were lost was very rocky, deep, and I think the weight of the bag will keep it under for quite a while |
|
wow..what's wrong with yer company that they'd do that? Are the employees going to get their losses back? |
|
some bear is going to be out there one fine day on the pemi. he'll be fishing for salmon and then BLAMMO!
No more bear and steven colbert will be a little bit happier. |

You're probably right, and if it were going to wash up, by trhe time it does it probably won't function properly, but still.
Sucks that that shit happened. Was anyone else hurt?
the camera and the cell phone suck to lose the most, I'm going to get pottery wav and waterproof my phone. |
|
Why'd you bring a gun to a company trip anywho? bears?
"they can smell the menstration!"
I assume you just carry it with you? or were you going to pursuade your boss to give you a raise or something? |
|
Suc...My company was warned BEFORE anyone was in the water that it was prolly not safe....yet the insisted...unbeknownst to ANYONE until it was over...
Nic...I hope youre right...
Rev....thats the whole reason I broght it with me...Bears. So that would be pretty ironic....
Or does ironic mean made entirely of Iron???? |
|
kok..yer company doesn't sound too bright...are they gonna pay for yer losses? I hope so...fuxxors |
|
Ya Nic...I am liscensed to carry, so I usually bring it with me...especially when Im 50 miles from home, in the Great Northern mountains of NH.
Its fucking desolate there. like really....no roads for miles. |

They are the kings of stupidity....But I can almost guarentee, they will never do it again.
I dont know about being reimbursed, because I signed a waiver, so I doubt it.
Im just glad to be home and breathing. |
|
and yes...other people were hurt....a few sprained ankles/ cuts/ contusions and the sort...luckily, like I said, nothing too major. |
|
Ever see fight club?
"life insurence pays off double if you die on a buisiness trip"
You have any other guns?
I got a couple, nothing to impressive, a 22 beretta with spinpression installed and carbon fiber grip, and a KPD.
I don't have a liscense yet though.
|
|
Ya I have quite a few other guns, but no other handguns....looks like Im back in the market...
maybe Ill get a revolver this time. |
|
I can't get a rifle here until I'm 21 I think.
I don't have a permit for the handguns either, my step dad just left them here when he moved out. |
|
That sucks man. At least it was schwag that you brought so you didn't lose too much money in that area as well.
|

I don't know, I think Colbert would be very concerned with this being the first stage in bears arming themselves for a final showdown with humanity. |
|
yes...and very minimal at that...literally no more than .00005 g of schwag dust.
im not too worried about that.
I just talked to Campton pd and they seem to think it may be recovered.
I hope so, more sooner than later, and maybe the gun will still be ok. |
|
Even if it's not, you can part it out and buy OEM parts for what's no longer functional. hopefully whoever found it had the sense to dry it off. |
|
hopefully the PD doesn't find a piece and the schwag with the gat.
shadowsd: it right to bare arms for bear arms with bear arms? oh no! |
|
Americans have a right to bear arms and arm bears and all point in between. |
|
the_reverend said: hopefully the PD doesn't find a piece and the schwag with the gat. |
That's what I was thinking, cops can still be assholes and bust you for dust if they already have it in their hands.
Then again, maybe it's been underwater for long enough that you can't even tell what it is anymore. |
|
"oh man, is that oregano?"
bare bears! |
|
Its unlikely that water even got in the bag if it was wrapped. |
|
the_reverend said: "oh man, is that oregano?" |
Bears arming AND cooking themselves a pizza? Now powerkok has gone too far... |
|
ya...water is definitley in the bag.....for sure.
At this point, the bag is 'missing' therefore, it is no longer my possession.
Anyone 'could have' found the bag/taken the bag/ put things in the bag.
Fuck bears. |
|
A HUMAN BEAR HYBRID?!?! WTF!
|
|
Manbearpig!
Aaron, we still doing shrooms and kayaking later?
I'll bring the techno. |
|
*MAKES TECHNO NOISE WITH THROAT* |
|
Yo Kok, you can borrow my NEF .32 revolver if you want. It's really loud, blasts powder into your eyes pretty much every shot, and looks like a Saturday night special -- sweeeet. |
|
hahahaha I remember that thing....you still have that?!?!
Remember showing it to me at Kyles about 6 years ago?
In fact we were comparing guns when some 18 year old hippies came up to us, and were like...uhhhh. |

Yeah, that's the one. I have a carry permit, but I usually don't bother. It stays in my closet loaded, about 3 steps away from my bed. It takes .32 H&R Mag rounds (hollow point of course). A nasty little piece -- and you CAN throw it in the river when you're done!
I've been meaning to get a new one -- Taurus used to make a nice little hammerless .38 5-shot that was friggin' tiny. |
|
I don't keep ammo at my house, I don't use the gun for protection just target shooting, so I buy ammo when I need it and make sure there's none left. I don't want bullets and a gun in my house. 9 little brothers and sisters coming and going. |
|
jeepers, big familia

It's just me, my brother, and my sister, but my dad remarried 3 times, so there's lots of step brothers and sisters coming and going. |
|
dude, that fucking sucks! Sorry to hear it. |
|
haha, well my familly is non-christian maori except for my mother, so at least I don't haveto buy them all christmas presants. |
