Tie together your clothes as rope

Just saw the film and while I loved it, I was brainstorming ideas for how I would get myself out of this situation...then it hit me. Have everyone take off enough clothes to get someone down without breaking their legs. Sure you'll have to take your chance with the wolves and hope they don't see you...but then again, I find it odd that wolves would eat a human, even one that was a casualty.

I feel like this would be the best bet. I thought of this in about 10 minutes and nobody gets hurts, assuming the wolves wouldn't go after you in real life. Just make sure every knot is secure and bam, problem solved.

And then they froze to death half an hour later. The end.

But nah, the situation was pretty bleak as it was, so it's a valid plan.

Sad story. You got a smoke?

Is your signature from "The Pact"?

Wolves prey on the weak, nothing odd about them attacking a stranded human with two broken legs.

There is something very odd about this attack - the wolves did not look hungry and even if they were they had just fed off of the first guy ... wolves are generally very shy reclusive animals that stick to their pack and its activities ... they only encroach on humans to get at the human's livestock as wolves tend to prey on hooved animals like cows, pigs, horses, etc. We would be hard pressed to see so many wolves in such close proximity to a busy ski resort ... the pack would have set up a territory as far away from a resort as they could and chances of a skier even seeing a wolf would be extremely remote ... so the entire wolf thing in this movie was orchestrated ONLY for its fear factor and is not based in reality at all. It's theater once again giving an innocent animal a bad rap and feeding the public's unreasonable fear of wolves - they do the same thing to pit bulls and it just makes me ill.

Personally I would have tougher out a night or maybe two and wait for the powder to build up, would have softened the fall.

I would've had every one try to throw their skis/snowboards at the guy in the snow mobile who stopped DIRECTLY UNDER THEM lol.

[–] big_hair_x 9 years ago

Exactly! As he was driving up I was waiting for them to do that, then started muttering it, grumbling it, then flat out yelling it as the guy started driving away and they still hadn't. By the time they had it was too late, or some such nonsense. First thing I would've done is thrown everything down to my underwear at the truck until he noticed.

And do knee-lifts or some form of cardio to keep their blood warm

Ever tried to tie together the kind of clothes they were wearing? Even if you magically suceed there's no guarnatee it would hold your weight. It would probably just untie and you'd land on the cold snow, almost naked.

The OP is 100% right. They could have tied their coats together just enough to lower him enough so he could fall safely- then haul the "rope" back up and put their coats back on.

Sure- it wouldn't be as strong as a rope- but they could have tied the sleeves of their coats tight enough for him to slide down quickly.

And that's the double truth, RUTH!

Yes!! I am watching it now and I was thinking the same! They're layered up, they totally should have done that. I guess that wouldn't have made much of a movie though.

Lets hope they got real jackets then. :)

I would prob just crawl on the wire like they tried, but how about to use your legs too this time ? Hanging in his arms and I went like, oooh come on is that the best you can do. They can rest on every chair to the pole. And if the wire where too sharp, unlikely. Then you could just a ski and hold that instead.

Actually I bet you could almost slope down the wire with a ski in your arms.

I thought the same thing. Take off your jackets and shirts and tie them together to shorten the fall then untie them and get dressed and make a run for it!
If two of them got down the last person could untie their clothes so they could get dressed and run for help. Two uninjured people would have much greater odds against the wolves than one injured person
