    NH Proposes Fee If People Need To Be Rescued

    This is true, but it seems like we are getting a lot of bang for our buck. How many hikers are rescued as compared to fisherman and hunters in the Whites. We don't seem to hear of very many of those types being airlifted into choppers, and requiring high tech rescues, and/or rescues...

    Small Light Winter Tent/ Bivy in Winter

    I use a Black Diamond Megamid but don't carry the center pole that holds it up. You can use your hiking pole. I use two closed cells pads on the snow for insulation. Ice screws to secure it. I do have the floor but don't use it in winter...

    Photo Sharing Sites

    I like Photobucket. It's great if I want to post on VFTT. Super simple to upload, cut/paste. I do keep all my pics on IPHOTO and only share a few on Facebook which only friends can access. I honestly see no point to having my pics available to the masses.

    NH Proposes Fee If People Need To Be Rescued

    I thought that might be what you were getting at. I would think it might apply otherwise only NH residents would bear the real burden of the punishment. The rest of us could just drive around scott free while they are doomed to hike to work and stay in the house. Some could conceivably lose...

    NH Proposes Fee If People Need To Be Rescued

    I don't know if this relates exactly to what you are asking but NH does have reciprocity with MA. IF you get a speeding ticket in NH it counts in MA and you will have to pay the surcharges. I just read on the web that most states do.

    NH Proposes Fee If People Need To Be Rescued

    I carry my gear to spend a night out but I do go solo with my dog. If solo hiking is being negligent so be it. I will pay up and be grateful someone was willing to save my sorry bacon. They have the hike safe protocol carefully spelled out. I suppose if that's what they go by and we wish...

    Okemo area activities

    Is that by any chance the road that must be closed to traffic in winter? I think it's to the far left of the lodge. If not where is the trail?

    You might want to cut back on Vitamin I

    My doc is older and had bleeding ulcers. She takes ASA and hates having to do it but she would not be moving about well enough to work if she didn't. I like the Glucosamine/ Chondroiton very much and take a healthy dose. Will have to look into Bosewellia. Would love to get rid of the Naprosyn.

    You might want to cut back on Vitamin I

    I have to take non-steroids. and use Naprosyn (Aleve). They are all risky. I buy the yellow enteric coated caplets. My arthritis is serious enough that if a go 36 hrs without it, I am very lame and in pain. I use over the counter 200 mg and the RX dose is 500mg. I take two on a full stomach...

    Climate Change Threatens Ski Industry, Leaving Slopes Bare

    What was most impressive and frightening was the dimension and speed at which this is occurring. The pics of what the terrain looked like when the study began and how it appears now is nothing short of terrifying. Also the comparison of how it changed ever so slowly over 100 yrs. vs 10 yrs...

    You might want to cut back on Vitamin I

    Take is on a full stomach, Stan. It is very irritating. I take it's cousin Naprosyn because without it I would not walk. I eat, take the med, and the tums. I also take Omeprazole 20m daily for reflux. Thus far no problems and has been using it long term.

    Climate Change Threatens Ski Industry, Leaving Slopes Bare

    As Balog explained, people often have difficulty assimilating data. You see statistics, graphs, the mind wanders, and you find yourself trying to remember if you have a movie to watch this evening, or you are planning your next hike. That being said the film certainly caught my attention and I...

    Climate Change Threatens Ski Industry, Leaving Slopes Bare

    It is playing at Amherst Cinema. I saw it there on Monday. Don't know for how long. It was also playing in the Berkshires.

    Climate Change Threatens Ski Industry, Leaving Slopes Bare

    I believe you. For any doubters do whatever it takes to seek the documentary film Chasing Ice. It's disturbing and a real eye opener. Skiing will be the least of our worries. We all need to smarten up and it can't happen one minute too soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIZTMVNBjc4
