A lot of my family is from WV (coal mining area), including my mom. So I can make these jokes
why do birds fly upside down over WV?
nothing worth pooping on
what is the WV state flower?
A satellite dish
why do WV people have one leg longer than the other?
from walking on the hill side all of the time
I remember towing a bass boat to a tournament out there and I could that I had a break light out on the trailer
daultonbenjamin:
Iām uniquely interested why and how people settled in such areas.
Because nobodyās told them they can leave yetā¦

Sounds worse than WV where you can fall out of your yard.
Walking downhill on a steep surface covered with decomposed granite sand-clay-rock-gravel.
Imagine if you dropped a million decks of cards on the hill. They would slip on each other.
It almost always happens going downhill. Thereās something about walking uphill where my shoes just grip better.
Also thereās a big difference between falling 45 degrees onto a slanted surface, and 135 degrees if you āgo over the wrong wayā.

I believe Iāve read somewhere that most hiking / backpacking injuries occur on downhill slopes vice climbs.

When I was drilling in WV we brought in a frac crew from TX , the drivers (2) literally jumped out of their trucks, took a minute to winch them out of the ravine with a dozer. And no, no groundwater was harmed with fracking, there is only saltwater at those depths.

It can be done. I think it was Westerman or something like that, I drove one the damn trucks for them after we winched it back onto the road.

And when you fall, you simply have to watch where you put your hands. And your head, back, butt etc.

No kidding. Like the Kosovars are a threat at the moment. Posturing.
Also, they disarmed their population because of mass shooter, sheep mentality.
