Coleup, In a true whiteout there is no sense of direction, the rope trick is used often under desperate conditions. I know that with my vertigo I would certainly be lost, and may even have trouble standing. My aqua-therapy for my back has improved my balance a good bit, moving about in the water was at first difficult because I was focusing on my immediate surroundings. The more I long-range the more stable I feel, there is still an instant of panic when I trip or stumble. If there's time I recalibrate and recover, if not I fall, kneel, sit, or whatever. It sounds as though JBerger has some of the same experiences. I often will put some tissue or something in my ears to keep the wind from whistling through. LOL Ric
