The rigging knife and marlinspike are carried by all good sailors and are necessary for the safe operation of a sailboat and in olden days were necessary for the captains safety - a crew with criminal intent - mutiny.
I have just purchased a Classic Series Limited Edition rigging knife and marlinspike:
"A little history about the Myerchin Offshore System. The Offshore System was the first rigging knife designed by Myerchin almost thirty years ago. After sailing to Hawaii with his family in a Westsail 32, the Orgone lll , John saw the need for a high quality fixed blade rigging knife after having a competitor's folding rigging knife collapse during stormy weather. John decided that the knife and its companion piece, a full size sailor's marlinspike must be strong, functional, and demonstrate the classic beauty of days gone by. This newest version of the Offshore System, the Generation 2, incorporates greater strength, better cutting ability, improved ergonomics and still retains the classic sheepsfoot design that has been the hallmark of quality rigging tools for hundreds of years. The natural bone handle is a great medium for intricate scrimshaw. This Limited Edition bone handle is a true collector's item.
Our Pro Marine Stainless is a high carbon stainless with excellent edge properties...
...Myerchin knives are rugged tools that are designed to give years of excellent service....."
Hopefully I'll never have to use my rigging knife and marlinspike in self defense as sailing captains of old did.

Military patrol dog versus Wolfy
The Army Field Manuel says a patrol dog must be able to:
Detect and respond to the scent of a person who is within 75 yards, and follow the scent to the person's location.
Detect and respond to a sound made by a person 100 yards away and follow this sound to the source.
Visually detect and respond to a person in view 100 yards away.
Wolfy is capable of all of the above at 350 yards.

Psalms 149
Praise ye the Lord, Sing unto the
Lord a new song, and his praise in
the congregation of saints.
2 Let Is-ra-el rejoice in him that made him:
let the children of Zi-on be joyful in their
King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance:
let them sing praises unto him with the
timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his
people: he will beautify the meek with
salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them
sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their
mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen,
and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their
nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment
written: this honor have all his saints.
Praise ye the Lord.

Mount Rainier tragedy, El Faro tragedy, liars and cowards, EXHIBIT
If you would like to better understand the Mount Rainier tragedy, liars and cowards, read: "High Crimes: the fate of Everest in an age of greed" by Michael Kodas.
"Kodas discovered more deceit, thievery, and double-crossing among climbers than you find in a Martin Scorsese gangster film... an adventure story and an expose of a sport riddled with danger and corruption." --Washington Post Book World
"...this may be the first to explore the mountain's criminal element: the fraudulent commercial guides, ...the violence among climbers..." --Booklist
"Kodas's remarkable book exposes the deceit, robberies and thefts, the drugs fueling some high-altitude expeditions, even the casual willingness of people paid to get climbers to the top to abandon stricken clients to almost certain death...." --Dallas Morning News

Moint Rainier tragedy, liars and cowards, drug traffickers, EXHIBIT
We have made two reports to U.S. customs on why we believe climbing companies for Mount Everest located in the Seattle area are involved in heroin drug trafficking from the countries they transit.
U.S. Customs was the only law enforcement agency who wanted information we had on the largest Mexican drug cartel active in Seattle. We provided the names of all the cartel drug dealers, where they did business, their telephone numbers, license plate numbers, and how they operated - here in Seattle and nationwide.
U.S. Customs was also the main law enforcement agency involved in the capture of the leader of this drug cartel - "El Chapo" Guzman.
These climbing companies continue to be a threat to our safety but we have pictures and license plate numbers and have documented their surveillance and threats to our safety.

Organization head, EXHIBIT
When the threat level increases against me and Wolfe the head of the organization always cases out where we live trying to determine the best way to silence us.
The head of the organization is always easy to spot because they always drive a full size, top of the line luxury car. This time it was a full size, white, four door, luxury Audi.
When the head of the organization spotted me he sped away and ran the stop sign. I didn't even have time to take a picture but I immediately jumped in my car and gave chase. I figured I could get a picture of his license plate at the stoplight. Unfortunately the light was green and his speed was at least 60 mph. I didn't want to speed and I was unable to get a picture.
Once again Wolfe and I were victorious because he had to run like a coward, he blew his cover and was spotted, and he couldn't case out where we live.

U.S.M.M.
U.S.M.M. stands for United States Merchant Marine of which I am an officer with an upper level ocean license.
I am proud of the unique history of the United States Merchant Marine who sailed the American clipper ships, 1833 - 1858 - the golden age of American maritime supremacy. Their "captains and crews...courageously battled the elements, pirates and European competitors to win valuable U.S. markets around the world."
"The legend of the American clipper ship endures not only as one of the most stirring portraits of adventure on the open sea but also as one of the most celebrated manifestations of a growing nation's spirit of entrepreneurship. Swift, handsome vessels of uniquely American design, these ships completely dominated the open seas in the mid-nineteenth century, delivering their cargoes faster and more efficiently than any other wind-propelled ships afloat."

Mount Rainier tragedy, El Faro tragedy, liars and cowards
I have previously written how the superintendant of Rainier National Park made fun of the U. S. Marines for never leaving a dead Marine behind. This quote is for all the liars and cowards who wouldn't recover the bodies from Mount Rainier and the bodies from the sunken ship El Faro.
""Just as it is unthinkable to leave behind a wounded or dead Marine, troops would carry injured or dead dogs out of the jungle with them, as was the case in Vietnam, even if it took days of trudging in temperatures well into the triple digits, with drenching humidity to boot. "The Dogs of War"
Thank God for a few good men.

Cairo, Wolfy
The following was written about Cairo - the German Shepherd that was instrumental in killing bin Laden: "If you see my dog coming, you can shoot my dog or you can shoot at me,... And if you shoot at my dog, I will shoot you. If you shoot me, the dog will get you.
...a dog like Cairo must have the same split-second instincts necessary of any elite soldier. They can identify the friendlies from the nonfriendlies at a high rate of speed. Plus, they can go from zero to a hundred miles an hour in a second. They have catlike agility and a high level of communication with the handler at a high level of stress." "The Dogs of War"
I can say the same about my German Shepherd Wolfy.

"In this city are many human sacrifices that kill the dignity of these men and women, these boys and girls subjected to trafficking and slavery. We cannot stay quiet. This city is full of men and women, boys and girls beaten by the wayside, beaten by the organization or organizations that are corrupting, removing the will, even destroying them with drugs. And then they are left lying by the roadside."

46,000 drug overdose deaths...
Pope Francis accurately described the United States of America in his Christmas Eve homily (service) - a country which has over 46,000 drug overdose deaths a year and there is no public outcry:
"...intoxication with consumerism, pleasure, abundance and wealth."
"...a culture of indifference, which not infrequently turns ruthless."
Francis also sounded a cry to right injustices.
God have mercy on the United States of America.

The reputation of the United States of America
Years ago when I had my tax practice on Seattle's Beacon Hill the entire business block was machine gunned.
Esther, the most respected business woman on Beacon Hill, had her relatives from Sweden visiting her at the time of this incident.
They begged her to return to Sweden with them and said: "What kind of a God awful country are you living in?"
When Esther retired she returned to Sweden to live.
I have no doubt the people from around the world who read my blog are saying: "What kind of a God awful drug corrupted society has the United States become?"
On my last trip to India it was front page news that the prime ministers of India and Pakistan were having summit level meetings on how to keep their countries from having the drug problem that the United States has.
All those trying to harm me - the 'Third Level' - crooked politicians, judges, and law enforcement infiltrated by organized crime and organized crime itself, should think of the tremendous damage they are doing to the reputation of the United States of America.
This post will be an exhibit in my $45,000,000 claim against King County, my $45,000,000 claim against Chelan County, and my anticipated legal action against the governor and Washington State.

"It's the drugs."
There is no explanation for Doug Walker loosing his life on Granite Mountain.
As an experienced climber he should have known the route he was on is subject to dangerous avalanches.
As an experienced climber he should have known conditions were perfect for a deadly avalanche.
As an experienced climber he should have known many inexperienced climbers have been killed by avalanches on the route he was taking.
As an experienced climber he should have known the most authoritative guide book warns of dangerous avalanches with deadly results on the route he was on.
There is no explanation for his decision to subject himself and others to dangerous avalanche conditions. Thank God his two climbing partners turned back.
As I have written before when there is no explanation all you can say is: "It's the drugs."
Marijuana is called dope because it makes you very, very, stupid and makes you do stupid things.
He was the chairman of R E I for years and it is ironic that on October 23, 2015 I had written a post about R E I and its drug culture titled: "@It's the drugs."

Mount Rainier tragedy, El Faro tragedy, liars and cowards
Once upon a time in our Christian nations history we were such a spiritual country we buried our dead in churchyards.
The following is from American Clipper Ships 1833-1858:
...the Milton, flying before the gale in a heavy snow storm, struck on a rock...A quarter of a mile off shore,... An eyewitness said:
"I was one of the first on the spot. The shore looked like a wrecked shipyard. But for the breakers you could have walked for yards on broken masts, spars and timbers. There was the mainmast, four feet through, snapped off like a pipe stem. Every plank was made into kindling wood and every timber torn out of her. Only a part of the bow was left tossing and crunching on the rock where she struck, being held there by the attached anchors. The bodies of the crew, all frozen stiff, were on the beach, some covered with snow or thrusting up a hand or arm above the drift. One negro must have come ashore alive for he had dragged himself some distance up the sand but had soon frozen. The ship's log book came ashore , also some trinkets and furniture, but that was all."
The captain, three mates and crew of 22, being all-hands aboard, were drowned or perished. The three mates and eighteen of the crew were buried in the old churchyard at Easthampton....
The deceased were all members of the United States Merchant Marine.
