I posted the Norwegian Mountain code before a few times....here is the much shorter idiots mountain code....feel free to add to it:
1. Tell nobody where you are going, it's not their business!
2. Always go alone, that way fewer get lost
3. Bring a deck of cards and a compass. If you get lost, drink the spirits in the compass and play solitaire. Soon a busybody will arrive to tell you to lay the queen of spades on the king of hearts, and you are found.
4. Save your strength when you dig your snow shelter. You may have to dig yourself out.
