The statistics I remember, and I can't put my hands on the reference right now is; 95% are found in the first 24 hours and 98% within 48 hours. Keith

In my opinion the answer is neither. The correct answer is the direction you set on your compass based upon your planned escape bearing in case you really get screwed up. You aren't lost. You are in NH, in the White mountain national forest. You are north of a certain trail or southwest of...

Mom always knows best. Thanks for the greenie.

Thanks for the greenie Tim. Yeah, I'm still here, Not as often though.

Exactly, it inhibits the growth of new skin. Something most people want to have happen when they have an injury. Keith

This is best. H2O2 is damaging and it has been known for years. Clean water to irrigate. If you can drink it, it is clean enough to use for irrigation. Doesn't need to be sterile. Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) can also be used to clean and irrigate. The puncture in a zip lock will work good but you...

Great report and adventure. Congratulations. Which one was using the Ultimate torso pack with straps and what was your opinion of that? Keith

Been picking and eating them already. They are great this year. Keith

One of the things about those are they go like hell. Practice. I know little about them but I did use to watch them on the CT river when I was younger. I suspect like anything, once you get some practice you will be seriously impressed with this boat. Then, when I see you, I will be amazed at...

Never was much of a beer drinker. I have recently started to take a fancy to ale though. :D Keith

That looks freaking awesome. Everything about says great work. Can't wait to hear how you like it. Keith

I agree. Very likely a bird of prey. Keith

This would only make sense if you believe that the animal that chased away the Fisher, did it out of the kindness of its heart. And not to get the free meal the Fisher caught. ;) If the Fisher was forced off of the fawn, I can pretty much assure you it would have been a larger predator that...

It all depends on perspective. Granted overall the effect is likely not a big deal but from that Fishers perspective I think he would consider it a big deal. He expended considerable time and effort (energy) to getting that fawn and he was about to get some return on that huge investment. It may...

Absolutely. The last sentence in that report should have read: The fawn was turned over to a wildlife rehabilitator to be released and eaten later. Animals never die of "old age" in the wild. Keith

Thanks for cluing me in on this trail. Didn't know about it. It sounds like a perfect trail for someone I love that can't always hike very far. Thanks, Keith

I kind of switched the original process. Bought the book and gave it to my mom first. Waiting for her to finish it. :D Keith

Pleasure to have met another combat NCO/hiker. Thanks for the greenie and thanks for your service in tenth mountain and elsewhere. It is appreciated.

I'm sorry, and I hope you take this in the humorous spirit in which it was intended. What did you think, we would think "armed" meant. That he had arms? :D Keith

I have a Garcia. Left it for several days out in an area as a cache to pick up later on a 8 day trip. When I got to it. It had been moved. And something with large canine teeth had worked it over, HARD. Didn't come close to getting into it. I have used it on many trips and never had to worry...
