 When I wiped out, I broke the stock off right at the pistol grip and smashed the scope into a rock. So the scope was useless. The gun was broken, obviously, just hanging by the gun strap, the two pieces of my gun, and I was soaking wet. So I had to make a decision to stop right there, open up my backpack, freezing cold wet and try and get a fire lit in snowy, ugly conditions or keep going.
