I found my limit carrying a 40lb pack and pulling a 35lb sled up to Nauman site up Crawford Path last March. We were toting tents and kitchen supplies up to help smaller scouts out the next day. Anyways, I was completely spent! My muscles were not used to that at all. I shifted the stress to...

Looking to rent transcievers on the way to Katahdin. We're aware of Acadia Guides but they are limited in numbers. Anyone have another idea? :o

45% you say? Across the board for allproducts to scout units? That's great deal on the tents. Thanks for the heads up, I was not aware.

Hello again, I am fortunate to be an assistant scoutmaster/outdoor advisor to my local boy scout troop. The boys in the troop are quite accomplished for their age as rock climbers, hikers, paddlers and mountaineers. Some have bought their own gear, others are using what we have in our newly...

I'd like to know the best out there too, but for now I have a 10x12 campmor sil-tarp that holds up pretty darn well. $89

Hello all, calling any climbers out there, our troop has earned the money for enough gear to get us out on the rocks safely. The line ended there though. We are in search of anyone who has upgraded their shoes and would like to donate to the boys. Sizes range from mens 6 - 13. Of course we...

There are plenty of obnoxious folks out there without cell phones. I don't see the difference between speaking to a hiking buddy who's next to me or speaking on a cell. I think either way one should be respectful to their surroundings. My cell will always be on when I'm away from my family. I...

I am in big need of assistance. We did Jefferson yesterday and brought the snowshoes just in case, didn't need them though. Well, the pair that I loaned my buddie fell off his bag while behind me and of course we didn't notice until we got back to the car :( If anyone gets there before me and...

I realize that the road is posted as closed, but I am wondering if anyone has an in as to when it might open? It was open just before the last snowfall, I should've jumped at the chance then :( I'm hoping on going the short way up soon.

FYI Great deal out there, military cold weather pant liners are wonderful, cheap, usually under 10 bucks, warmth to weight ratio is ridiculous.

For serious insulation I love EMS primaloft jacket and pants (discontiued?) (pertex cover, hooded). The jacket for lunching, the pants if winter camping. While hiking I start with duofold wool/synthetic pants with campmor high peaks pinnacle pants, super breathable and proofed, full zip when...

I've got chronic foot/ankle problems. EMS Aretes are bombproof. Merrel Cascades too. They are heavy and stiff, but they keep the foot totally pampered.

Hey, I didn't know you injured your knee on Carrigain :( , sorry to hear it. When I was young and foolish I pushed through knee pain and got myself some serious trouble for it. Ended up blowing my knees out because I was stubborn. My philosophy now is that if the knees hurt badly ie. trauma...

What Mike P. said, October can be funky or grand. Keep an eye on the weather patterns, you may push your time frame up. As for direction I would do Jeff first too. Enjoy!

IMO not staying hydrated is a huge risk, and as Dory posted, "I've found that I don't drink nearly enough when I carry a water bottle". I believe it's always advisable to carry a thermos with hot sugary liquid. And a nalgene in case/ for <0. I'd like to hear how her plan to use the hose down...

Campmor has the .5 liter size insulators for $4.99, closeouts I believe.

Maybe you guys are always freezing your lines because you are not drinking often enough, or maybe my water doesn't freeze (or get slushed) because I use a filtration unit at my home that changes the water somehowdoubt it because I've used other water before. Whatever the reason, I do understand...

Wow, I'm reading from everyone that 20* is the point of freezeup. I don't know what I do differenlty, but I have not had any problems with my bladder system in single digits. Of course there will be some residule water left in the tube, but not enough to block the whole hose. I basically...

That's what I was thinking. Closed cell then Thermarest.
