For anyone interested in motivational expression, I give to you this one giant quote. I think it's super. http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=4bf329eedf5f415ed0bff62fc&id=b38eeabc52&e=36723ec0d4

This would be a good one to go along with "not being written up." "Please-please! I can't afford a rescue!"

Great thread! :) I have many but these two will always be way at the top of the list. "It's not what happens to you in life, but what you do with it that maters." Spoken to me by Abby, OB leader at VOBS. It was perfect timing and I will never forget it. The one below hangs on my wall...

I really enjoy most books regarding mountain adventures, cycling, and preparing for and racing the Iditarod. I really love books about people who live far removed from civilization, and hike or bike outrageous distances. I learn so much from all of them be they life threatening topics, or...

IF you really work at it, I bet you could go out in style with a 48 patch! Quite work. We won't need $$$! :D

Santa came early. I have both the book and the film and I highly recommend both. Love their blog and looking forward to Erin's next book. http://www.groundtruthtrekking.org/Book/

Do you x-country ski/snowshoe? The Catamount trail is nearby. http://www.catamounttrail.org Hope to try Grafton Ponds this year midweek. They even allow dogs.http://graftonponds.com/activities.html And... the Graton Inn (restaurant) in next door. I love that area, but then again, I don't...

I no longer pay attention to anyone who says this to me. I have spent and wasted so much money buying shoes that do not fit because I believed them. I sometimes wear different socks for different shoes but I learned the hard way to make my own decision about what fits and what doesn't. They...

ELLEN...did you try the Garmont in men's size? I up to a 10.5 men's this year because of the new orthotics. I have door knob size bunions and hammer toes so I really need the width in my boots. Wish it would snow.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have it on hold at the library.

Thanks! This is a fascinating web site. There is so much to search. The huts are great. Looking forward to more exploring. :cool:

Awesomeness. Pics are positively beautiful. Good luck on your "winter in one season" thru hike of the AT.:):cool:

I have a lime green/ very bright turquoise Marmot jacket I am wearing and feel safe. My pups wear orange but I do have lime green vest that MOlly wears now and again. I don't like the fit of she would wear it more.

Even thought it's many miles away, it appears I will be taking many more trips to REI. I can only hope that Adventure Outfitters stays in business. It remains to be seen but I cannot imagine "Bob's Mountain Store" being anything like EMS.

I certainly didn't pay anything close to that when I took it and stayed at Joe Dodge. Gone are the days.......

Think I found their page. http://www.softrock.co.nz/mg/index.php?page=21

I can't believe that. And with your physical prowess! I bet I took my course a "few" years before you. Rebecca Brown no less. That is impressive.

Bob...are you groaning because you just fell on your ice axe? :D

Gosh...I wonder if we were in the same class! :D Your description is most accurate. I have taken WMS 1 &2 . Lots of fun!

Tom...thanks for sharing. I have a friend in vet school in Australia and she recently took a trip to New Zealand. I got this off her site. The "bush" is indeed unforgiving. Do you happen to have a link to that particular SAR website? :)
