What is your favorite kind of back country type 2 fun?

We all have those times when we are terrified in the moment but it makes a great story later.

Here is mine: "The white strip of doom" when you are cruising along a one-ish foot wide strip of snow with rocks and bushes on either side. Perhaps road rash from skiing is a rite of passage?

I'm principally a hiker so not too many stories here that are daring lol, but I do get a certain thrill out of stepping onto a portion of mycelial mat on a bog or marsh and being terrified my entire leg will get sucked in.
- Bogs and swamps count for sure! I have spent many hours of quality time having type 2 fun in swamps. They are the one thing I have found everywhere I go yet still manage to be unique each time.
  
  Could you explain what "type 2" means? I'm unfamiliar.
