    Parking passes ?

    Yep, wrestled one to the ground and had it for dinner a couple of days ago. It was like I was invisible to him without my camera. :p Keith

    Fryin' pan.

    Yep. In the shell. That is untreated. They supposedly stay fresh for weeks? if coated in wax and I have heard other ways of treatment also. Even on warm days, if you bury then inside the pack, you can still keep them fairly cool, cool enough. I never had any problem but only did this for days...

    Fryin' pan.

    I use to bring it camping in the summer but especially in the winter. Even in the summer, it was common for me to bring eggs and steak and bacon. Freeze the meat and it will last for at least a couple of days before cooking. Eggs last for several days also. Even on warm days these will last for...

    Fryin' pan.

    I know you said no, but I feel the little extra weight is worth it. I often would carry a small 5" iron skillet. They just cook so damn good and the small ones aren't out of this world weight wise. You can even cut off the handle if you want. :D Keith

    Proposed fees for Search and Rescue in NH

    As I remember this was basically a set of shelves at three feet and six feet height with a central walkway. Girls on the left, men on the right. :D Never seen anything like that at the time, but I was young. Keith

    Proposed fees for Search and Rescue in NH

    I rent out my condo in Bartlett and the state is banging tourists pretty good to the tune of 9% tax on rentals. I think that a 9% + $1 would go a long way to help fund SAR/F&G and I wouldn't pass that on to my renters. An increase to 10% I will pass on to them. The state is not fooling anyone...

    Proposed fees for Search and Rescue in NH

    I actually thought that the data supported Roys comment fairly well. 57% is around half. Keith

    Proposed fees for Search and Rescue in NH

    Epidemiology of wilderness search and rescue in New Hampshire, 1999-2001 This has been repeated before and is fairly well known. I actually use information out of this paper in one of my classes. Keith

    favorite/most convenient town in the Whites ?

    I had to pick "other". I like Glen the best. I have a condo there. Its not far from North Conway and near a lot of my favorite places to hike and camp. Keith

    Proposed fees for Search and Rescue in NH

    I can't see why that matters. This is just a state tax (fee) added to the charge. There is no reason that I can see that this fee could not be collected at the same time and passed to the state. Only the parking fee is administered by the federal government. As a practical matter its Joe-Bobs...

    Proposed fees for Search and Rescue in NH

    SB 128-FN-A - FISCAL NOTE I have no clue why they need or want to do this. It over-complicates a simple system and is Orwellian on first blush. Keith

    e-readers on the trail?

    Yep. I have added that in some cases as well, especially for long term storage. Usually kept as leftovers from equipment purchased. Good thought. Keith

    e-readers on the trail?

    I carry several gallon and quart zip locks. Not 100% waterproof protection but they are one of the greatest inventions ever. Unless you are going underwater for long periods they offer great protection for very little cost. Use two, nested, if you really think that you are in for a soaking. I...

    e-readers on the trail?

    I'll admit it. I have been carrying my iphone with the kindle reader app and use it when camping. Its way better than carrying a book. What is worse is my wife bought me an Ipad for Christmas, didn't really think I would like it. I do, and I use it all the time now. The Iphone worked out so...

    conditioning for Rainier

    The easiest and cheapest way I can think of to simulate not being able to get enough air is to buy an older M17 protective mask. Put it on, make sure it fits properly and then start running. Preferably with a pack and weapon at port arms. OK, forget the weapon. Its is like trying to suck air...

    FYI: Northern Pass High Voltage Transmission Project

    Not disagreeing with you but that could just as easily and with the same transfer of useful information could have been done on a flat map. Giving it a 3D appearance without rendering everything in 3D including the trees is nothing short of a lie. I will also mention that it appears, I don't...
