A tiny country in Northern Europe called Norway... smile

Sorry, no videos or anything, my 60 seconds youtube/google-search turned up negative. You can find more details about the mountain code in the links of my previous posts.

The background was the easter of 1967 when a total of eighten people died after really good weather turned really bad in the Norwegian mountains.

Norway's population is only slightly larger than that of the Puget Sound. Without more detail about its PSAs, it's pretty tough to draw parallels with a PSA campaign to be aimed at the American adult population of roughly 210 million, living in far more diverse styles. I'm not opposed to the idea of PSAs; other way around, actually. I just question the efficacy of broad-scale survival PSAs here.

Simplicity can be not only the most valuable tool, but the hardest to achieve. I very much laud the goal, but am skeptical of the tool you propose. I say that with a great deal of respect, and hope that this comes through in what I've been writing.

But the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc54mdvZTFw (The Finishing line) is my absolute favourite shocked

Now all the children just sit in front of the telly box with their Wees with their parents (70s gen children) too frightened to let them go out.
