    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    The internet is a wonderful place, you can sit in the comfort of your home and run your mouth with little or no consequence. See you on the trails *******.

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    I wasn't going to respond to you, but I changed my mind. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but disingenuous I am not. I might have misread his intention, and I admitted that in my response to him. I have been a member here for 20 years and have spent more than my share of time in the...

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    Maybe I didn't understand your point the way you intended, online forums can lead to poor communication verses face to face conversations. No sense beating a dead horse. I guess whether or not the waste problem would be better or worse without the various places to go, is something we just will...

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    He clearly states that without the Cog flowers would be growing in place of the tracks, hence the Cog is a bad thing. While he sings the praise of the AMCs capacity to consolidate human waste. You really can't see that in his post?

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    I appreciate that the huts got you and your family outside, but to say you never would have gone outside without them is not the best argument. I grew up camping in the Whites with my family in tents, so it is possible to be outside without having a hut available. The back and forth on the...

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    If the huts were not there, there would not be a need to helicopter out barrels of human waste. A few years ago, the barrels left outside Madison hut leaked fecal matter for sometime before they were able to get them out of there. I find it interesting that the AMC supporters have zero issue...

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    I have never joined the AMC, never saw the benefit. I've run into their groups out hiking and I have been into the huts for water and to look around. The organization is anything but diverse if you ask me, it's mostly affluent white people from Boston, hence a member of this group mentioning...

    REI axes 400+ jobs in outdoors trips and education

    Retail stores are bleeding, and it will likely only get worse. I decided to get my dog a jacket, REI carries a brand I like. I stopped by as it's near my house, nothing but small sizes, very few hiking dogs wear small. I drove home, called up my Amazon app, jacket is on the way

    Success Pond Rd. in Winter

    I thought about adding a winch, seems like a good option. Can you describe or tell what kind you went with?
