Goran Kropp is one, who biked from Sweden before trekking in, Roger Marshall (unconfirmed). Seems to be difficult to find a full list, but I do believe there are a couple more. Also, what is a solo is up for debate since you can't go to Base Camp alone any longer...would that mean you weren't...

And, as mentioned, I agree with that. Only stipulating I can understand her thought process. I'm actually a bit flabbergasted that's not understood.

OK, so going out in potentially 100mph winds is irrational. 90? 80? 70? 60? 50? 40? 30? 20? 10? Same for all? Is it wet? What if you are going for a walk to the mailbox? Around the yard? The neighborhood? The town? Are you fit? How are you defining fit? What is your goal of the...

OK to disagree. I think her line of thinking was rational. It was just misapplied with the circumstances.

I think I've made it clear I am not defending her...at least I thought I have. However, I will maintain and always will that I understand her line of thinking. Understanding it, and agreeing with it, can be totally different. Someone could ask "why would anyone do XYZ?" That is the answer...

Hey, feel and say what you want. IMO, she was searching for harsh conditions to get her ready for an Everest trip. Knowing you are "only" 4 miles from a road and could mirror the worst you can get, on paper, looks like a solid plan. We want people to be as best prepared for conditions when...

Sure they would, and its exactly why I think she did what she did. Not defending her, but am willing to understand her line of thinking.

Since we've drifted already, one thing to consider with Kate's case is she was training for an Everest trip, or something "bigger" than the Whites, I think ( ? ) If so, she would've viewed this as a good training ground to get acclimated to those conditions. It's like someone training for a...

Sheeeesh...we can chalk everything up to "inadequate equipment", can't we? I say that somewhat tongue in cheek, but with more equipment nobody would die in the woods.

No death is "doing what you loved" Hell even if you had a heart attack while doing the dirty, grasping for air and feeling a massive pain in the chest isn't anything one loves. However, the activity itself, he was doing what he loved. You are comparing two different things: living vs...

Something like this? https://www.osprey.com/daylite-sling-dayltslngs21-795#color=Wave%2520Blue I use this when traveling. Might be a tad small for your needs?

Also my near yearly request to break in the snowshoe track 2-3x wider than it typically is. A normal snowshoe track is too narrow for me to make a turn, so if the second in line would break a parallel track, and the rest then fill in, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

That's how I feel about New York City and a Walgreen's

That's why I often had a dog with me. I wasn't solo, she confirmed which way to go by never protesting and following/leading in the direction I seemed to suggest. Plus, she never talked back and between the two of us, we solved the world's problems on each hike.

Maybe someone with better knowledge of the area can chime in, but there Hart Town Forest which looks to be just off rte 202 (assumed road you'd take between the two locations). There is Fort Mountain which might fit the bill.

How close to Concord are you looking for? Under an hour, 1-2, etc?

We did go through a stretch not long ago where in some areas of the country, you were forbidden from travelling, being outside, etc.

Could argue that's the case about anyone who lists their accomplishments/lists, etc. [ducks]
