Looking into how much money it costs to go out and hike or climb mountains is just ridiculous. It makes the achievement of say climbing Everest seem less impressive when you realize it costs literally $150,000-250,000 just to be ready and get there. The fact that many countries tax your currency, so you'll be spending even more money to co-exist for a short period of time. It's just all bullshit.

Haven't been on this board in like 4 years, is the guy who used to make these patches still around?

General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.

My personal questions:
I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?
I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?

What's good in the UP? Which is the best forest? Is Isle Royale worth going to? Would you live there? Why hasn't it been annexed by Wisconsin yet?

What's your experience with inflatable pads for quality, nightly sleep? I'm really disappointed in my current mattress setup and have had great experiences with airbeds in the past. Are inflatable pads intended for camping all that different from an air mattress? Can they last long enough (a year+) to justify using them as a fulltime sleep device, or are they simply not made for nightly use? Please give me your wisdom /out/.
