You have built a sales ggraph that ihenomenal, 70% higher this year than sp corresponding months last year. Page 10-2 MSR Newsletter - September 1975 MSR NEWSLETTER AND CATALOG (206) 762-0210 / You know as well as we do from the national trend of inflation that prices will go up again before next summer. You will be doing yourself a favor by getting now (October, November, December, and January) what you will need for next season. S S S S S Under the present policy at Mount Rainier, 2900 persons have been denied their camping requests in 1973 and 1974. Can we assume that enjoyment of the Park for those people was impaired? If so, the denials were illegal. This is the issue being tested in court. A lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court, Seattle, on 7 August 1975, C-75574-S. The NPS has until 7 October to reply. The case will then be assigned to a judge. The trial may not take place for six to nine months. We have appealed for funds to support the lawsuit, since this is an action to preserve the legal rights of all citizens, as a community action. We are willing to take the lead, but we do need help. Contributions, April-August 1975 Expenses: Payment on legal fees $640 Postage 393 Printing & mailing 1080 Miscellaneous 79 S Deficit $1931 $2192 $ 261 S S Some more money is coming in, but not enough. Any lawsuit in Federal Court will cost about $5000, even though our lawyer (a climber himself) of the firm of Preston, Thorgrimson, Ellis, Holman & Fletcher is giving us a reduced rate. The NPS, having unlimited legal services, can be expected to fight all the way. The NPS has gone even further. They have recommended to Congress that 90 076 of Mount Rainier National Park be locked up legally under Wilderness Rules, leaving only 10% for the 1.4 million other visitors. S S S S JFMAM3JASONDJFMAMJJASOND 1974 1976 Unfortunately, growth at that rate brings problems, and those problems are not what MSR was organized for. Our primary purpose was and is to have fun by applying basic engineering and physics to mountain safety equipment and methods. We started out Consumers Union style, testing and reporting on what we found on the market, offering free engineering help to certain key manufacturers. However, they were too busy selling to consider improvements. The only way we could make our work effective was to manufacture and market the better products ourselves. For example, we found many weak wooden-shafted ice axes on the market. We improved by changing to aluminum shafts. To introduce the improvement quickly, we sold our aluminum-shafted ice axes at $13. 75, about half what they cost us. Those happy days of subsidizing the new developments are over because the numbers are getting too large. MSR has to pay its own way. As increases in the cost of building rent, materials, tooling, workers, interest on inventory capital, and 'governmental charges" hit us, we have no choice but to pass them on if we are to be here to serve you in the future. We can keep up our present rate of production and even increase somewhat. WE HAVE ADEQUATE PRODUCTION CAPACITY OCTOBER THROUGH JANUARY. BUT WE SEE NO WAY TO HANDLE THE EXPECTED SURGE (ABOVE THE NORMAL MONTHLY RATE) NEXT SUMMER. WE SINCERELY URGE YOU TO ORDER NOW. Lawsuit against the Park Service After five five serious discussion meetings (in Seattle, Longmire, and Washington, D. C.) and many letters transmitted at first through Senator Jackson's office and then direct, spread over three years, it has become clear that the present administration in the National Park Service is dead set on closing down the parks as much as they dare. Gary Everhardt, the new director, is quoted in CSM 3 September 1975: preservation will be the first priority. In other words, he feels parks are not for people and that he is above the Laws of Congress 1899 and 1916. These laws established Mount Rainier National Park "for the benefit and appreciation of the people' and instructed the Park Service to promote the use of the parks for the present generation, provided only that the parks not be impaired for enjoyment by future generations. Everhardt is not only impairing enjoyment of the parks by the present 'future generation" but shows he intends to impair enjoyment by future "future generations" as long as he is in control. The only way left to preserve the parks for the people is in court. Copyright 1975 Mountain Safety Research, Inc. PRINTED IN U.S.A. ". . The Doctrine of Fairness We at MSR favor wilderness, but point out that 1, 100, 000 acres of Washington State have already been placed legally under Wilderness Rules, 300, 000 more acres (Alpine Lakes) will undoubtedly be going under Wilderness Rules, and therefore Mount Rainier should be retained as a Park for the use of all the people, not just an elitist group. Mt. Adams Wilderness Area Goat Rocks Wilderness Area Glacier Peak Wilderness Area Pasayten Wilderness Area Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area (Before Congress) TOTAL 32, 356 acres 82,680 acres 464,258 acres 505,524 acres 300,000 acres 1,384,818 acres - versus Mount Rainier National Park 237, 000 acres The NPS would strip this down to only 23, 700 acres for the general visitor. The wilderness advocates already have more than their fair share. Blisters! No one reading this article need be reminded that blisters can spoil the expected joy of a hike or climb. Worse, they can halt a whole party when one member gets a really severe blister. I can remember a trip 20 years ago when my whole heel became a blister, and I barely made it back to the road. After that one healed, I used moleskin on the entire heel and up the back two inches, cut at the corners to form a heel cup. That helped, but I finally went to a full coverage of the bottom of my feet. This stopped the blistering and also relieved the 'burning sensation. After some years of using that preventive method, a climber told me she used girl-type nylons inside the heavy sock to form a slip surface between the nylon and the heavy sock. So I tried man-type stretch nylon socks under the heavy socks. Presto I could stop using the moleskin. I didn't really understand what was happening until Wilderness Camping Vol 5, No 3, 1975, described the blister-forming process in an article by Robert Ross. Comes the dawn We will review that article and then go on to suggest specific trail-tested preventive and treatment methods. (Wilderness Camping is a worthy magazine. Send $5. 90 to them at 1597 Union Street, Schenectady, NY, 12309, Dept. R, for one year, six issues. From Ross' article, the top layer of skin (the epidermis) is made up of five layers. Four of these layers are parallel to each other, like a layer cake. The fifth layer includes "finger" cells that point outwardly through the other layers, pinning them together to inhibit separation and lateral shifting, performing the same way toothpicks do in the layer cake. The finger cells do not have unlimited strength. When there is too much shearing stress, as when a boot and sock continue to rub an area at high unit pressure, they fail. The layers split, fill with lymph (fluid), and a blister has been formed. HOW TO PREVENT BLISTERS 1. Break in the boots to your feet. Soak them in water (room temperature) for two hours, then wear them while they dry, changing socks several times. At the same time, "train" the folds in the leather over the base of the toes so that the fold is upwardoutward, not downward. It will be necessary to omit using some of the lacing holes at the bottom. The first cross-lace should be diagonal and just back of the diagonal line over the base of the toes. This instruction refers to boots having a sewed-in gusset of soft leather which prevents water from running into the boot. 2. Remember where the blisters formed on the last trip, and apply adhesive tape at the start of the next trip, not three miles later. When a "hot spot" is apparent to you, it is already too late. If the previous blister had been large or severe, use moleskin instead of tape. The covering will spread the load and reduce local shear stress between layers of skin. I Page 10-3 MSR Newsletter - September 1975 3. If a minor hot spot (red and tender) has already formed, placing adhesive tape directly over the injury is a dubious matter, because the tape will adhere to the separated layer of skin and be pulled off when the tape is removed. It is better to adhere a small piece of plastic film on the tape first and then position the plastic spot over the beginning blister. The tape can then be removed without pulling off the top of the blister. But see next. 4. Where a definite significant blister has or will form, a bridging technique is used to relieve the pressure. Cut a hole the size of the blister in a piece of molefoam say 2' x 6'. The hole is located over the blister and the surrounding molefoam holds the boot away from the injured spot. Molefoam is 3/16' thick. Two layers can be used. If you put a small piece of molefoam directly over a blister, it increases the pressure and makes the wound more painful. If adhesive is applied directly to a blistered area, better leave it in place for four days until new skin has formed. 5. Wear a slippery thin sock inside the heavy one. The foot will slip around inside the boot a bit more, but there will be much less layer-type stress on the skin, hence reduction of blistering. 6. Fix any pressure points inside the boot. If a blister recurs at the same spot on the heel, for example, the problem is likely due to an inwardly projecting bump of leather. Most boot shops and some shoe shops have a ring-and-ball device which can push the bump outward and thus eliminate the pressure point. Be sure to use a leather-softening liquid (alcohol will do) to avoid tearing the leather. 7. Choose a non-abrasive sock. Some wools and polyester socks are harsh to wet skin. Test by rubbing the material between thumb and forefinger. The feel should be smooth and soft. Some hikers can use a coarse knit sock, but I much prefer a fine uniform smooth material. A mix of nylon, Orion and 10% cotton made by Wigwam is excellent. But note that Wigwam also makes some 100% acrylic ski socks that are abrasive. 8. Ross mentions a coating material, isoamyl cyanoacrylate, to be painted directly on the blister or mucous layer after the top layer has broken away. It is one of the instant adhesives. Sounds interesting. Let us know how it works. Tincture of Benzoin is used for the same purpose. So is Nu-Skin, a collodion coating. 9. Change to dry socks frequently. (Sometimes easier said than done. 10. Drain the blister? Yes. Ross reports on the work of T. A. Cortese, who found that recovery was quickest when the blister tops were left in place. He also found that draining a blister relieved the pressure and hence some of the pain. Further, a drained blister does not increase as much in size. I I Have we left anything out? Please tell us your ideas for use in the next newsletter. You will find the Ross article worth having. Ask Wilderness Camping to start your subscription with Vol 5, No 3, 1975.
