Conduct - In you act a fool, you're ok. Period.

8. TREAD LIGHTLY - Yes, you can be kicked off the trail and out of the group
9. If someone is getting winched, stay out of the goddamn way
1. If you don't winch safely, you're going to get yelled at. We're not reattaching anyone's body parts on the trail

20. You're responsible for your TB(s). If they act a fool, you're just as guilty
21. Just because you happen to think KC and the Sunshine Band are really misunderstood and under appreciated doesn't mean the rest of the group agrees with you, keep the volume to a reasonable level
1. If you are a rabid fan of KC and the Sunshine Band, you prolly won't fit in the dynamic of this group
2. AC/DC, G&R, Rage Against the Machine, George Thorogood, Judas Priest, the Stones, Motorhead, Clash, Sex Pistols, etc can be played as loud as you like
