What is 'Homestyle Chicken Booyah'? And why am I eating it if the USPS won't ship it to me?

Anyone interested in a 3 day, 2 night traverse of the Monadnock Sunapee Greenway this Spring? I was thinking late April or first weekend in May, before black flies, Friday-through Sunday, northbound... PM me if interested so we can chat. Laurence

Seam Grip If you need a patch, sew on a nylon or cordura patch by hand. If you dont', you can just sew the 2 edges of the slash together. Cover the thread of your sewing in seal grip or seam sealer. Wait overnight...presto.

Either of these places open for the winter? Thanks

Cool shells These may not be as durable as what you would want, but mountainlaureldesigns.com has recently come out with an eVent rain mitt. They weigh less than an ounce per pair, but there is no palm material other than the 2 layer eVent, which makes them a rain mitt verses a mountaineering...

Anyone here use a tarp, ID Silshelter or MSR Twin Peaks shleter as their main winter shelter in the Whites? What is the lightest winter shelter here, other than using a lean-to? Thanks.

Decathlon sports is going out of business sale here in Southern MA. I was looking at some of their stuff for mountain biking, but I found some interesting gear for hiking. I was tempted by some insulated mitts, claimed to be waterproof by Quechua's version of Gore-Tex...but who has heard of...

I've been noticing in both the trail conditions and the trip report section some estimates of wind speeds between 40mph and 70mph...now, I am not disputing the claims here, but how does one know the speed of the wind one is in? Has anyone here ever had a device to scientifically measure the...

I am trying to decide whether to start over on the NH48. My idea is to try and use only abandoned trails to ascend as many of the 48 as I can. For some of the peaks, this will be easy(Hale Firewarden's Trail, Mt. Adams Slide, etc,), but others might be more difficult and lead to straight up...

Forgot ALL the clothing For an entire weekend...after unpacking the car and setting up the tent for the long July 4th holiday, I went to change into my hiking clothes for an afternoon walk...forgot my clothes. No underwear, no socks, no layers, no nothing. After throwing a grade-A tantrum...

I have always read the maps, and then the AMC guide afterward, to see if it matched up and what I remember...I've been warned not to make this a habit. This past weekend, I failed to read the book, even while stopped at Galehead hut, about the Franconia Brook Trail and the detour that...

Just took the day off... Thanks for the replies...just bagged on work for Friday so I can take it a bit slower...I just can't get there, leaving from Providence, RI, by noon on Saturday.

How busy is a place like Guyot shelter on a Sept. weekend like the one coming up?

I have a very old print with a view of what is described in the print as the Franconia Range, and it lists the Three Graces as near Cannon Mountain, but I can't find ANYTHING on the web about them? Anyone know what these mountains are now called or where they are? Thanks.

After searching Ebay for AMC White Mountain Guides, I found one published in 1936, which, as of this posting, is going for $190. I feel is a lot of $$$, but I don't have any reference either for how much it might be worth. What is the oldest AMC guide that a member of this community owns, and...

I don't care that we were a little harsh on the "tree killer", however, I do care, as do many others in this post, about the damage he might cause not having been taught about LNT correctly. Chances are quite good now that he'll continue to hack trees, perhaps out of spite if not out of a lack...

Common sense is the collection of facts and data that accrue in one's life prior to the age of 14 or so. This means that everyone's collection of "common sense" isn't necessarily common at all. The only way a community can teach its members is by treating the members kindly when they make a...

Just wanted to point out that the trail work done on Desolation is amazing. Descending the trail on 7/8/06, it looked like a war zone with all of the blowdown on Carrigan's back slope. Especially on the steepest parts of the trail, where an errant step would end up costing you some hurt, I...
