I'd like to know the rest of the story....:)

That is so cool!!!! I had forgotten about it - thanks for the link.

I gave him some pointers on Winter Camping needs early on when he got lost trying to find the NCT(in the Daks) and was sleeping cold and hitting motels along the way. I didn't think he would keep going after his first week of road-walks, but he is persevering. He did receive a lot of heat...

Ryan Mountain - a Nice hike.... I was up there in 1997ish and I remember meeting an older couple coming back who warned me that the trail gets steep near the top. I spent the rest of the way up looking for the steep section....Never did find it..LOL... :)

I started with a grayscale Vista in 2004 and in 2007 I got the GPS Map76CSX. Hands down a winner over Vista. I liked the Vista, don't get me wrong, but it could NOT draw a signal as tight as the Map76. It frequently lost signals in cover and I couldn't get a signal in my house. The Map 76...

Last week I was taking my son to basketball and it was dark. A deer came down a steep slope by the road and stepped into the road right in front of me (We have no shoulders here in PA) I hit the brakes, swerved slightly and came to a stop about 6 inches past him - as I did, I very slowly...

Look for my PM.

I used to live along the Niagara, 1 block from IsleView Park in Tonwanda - that current moves at least 10MPH if I recall. We used to waterski the course under the North GI Bridge. It looks pretty cool from a kayak bow...Thanks..

For a winter bag, I prefer longer. I am 6'1" anyway so a regular would be too short. Like you said, keep extra clothing, boiling nalgene and boot liners/socks (plastic bagged of course) in the bottom. But here is the other thing - Getting a long usually gives you several more inches of...

I have been thinking alot about this and having grown up in Pest Control, I remember my father doing a few bedbug jobs in the 60's... Back then you could use DDT, Chlordane and/or Lindane, or hell probably even mix them together:eek: Anyways, I have started to cut down on my travel and...

I even got a little nauseous watching these guys climb http://video.yahoo.com/network/101149635?v=8244494&l=5144241

I started building and experimenting with dozens of them when i started on the AT in 2000. I have about 50% of the trail complete now and I can double echo everything peaks said. I just need 2 cups of water to dump and rehydrate noodles. nothing fancy. I can get it boiled in about 7 minutes...

I think Trailwright missed the George Humor here.....:D

Great - Thanks for the heads up!!!

Anybody else get this email today or recently from "Department of Goods"? Is this a new gear retailer? Their site looks legitimate, but I didn't spend a lot of time browsing. Thanks Rick

Burg, I've never been there, but a commercial expedition group that I have helped for years with is running 2 trips there next year - 1 is Base Camp/Namchee Bazar and the other is Following Buddha's footsteps, so probably not so much hiking as culture. PackPaddle & Ski is a very friendly small...

It might not be the GPS at all, but more of the spatial aspect. Especially if women equate GPSs to tiny little maps My observations (And they are anecdotal) are that more woman (that I know) than not seem to have no interest in maps. This even goes back to my days in military aviation. I...

I am in the same quandary while looking at new bikes. I drive my old 87 Cilo with 52/42 and 11/23 and it was fine on the flats along Lake Ontario and such years ago, but now I am in the bloody hills of Saucon Valley (all hills all the time) where you might gain 500 feet over a mile and It is too...

Grivel G-10 Newmatics. Mine are about 14 years old now. Love'em to death and they are leaps and bounds above my old strap-ons or my old Camp In-steps.

Wow! As soon as I saw that I thought Fisher. I'd be curious to know the general consensus, though on skunk vs fisher.
