Grinder wheel will sharpen quickly but soften the metal. Make a wooden jig to hold the MSs in a vise or hold with large pliers and use a large ******* file. It's tedious but taking your time will restore most of the sharp points.

Probably a few FB Catskill hiking forums. Good luck finding it.

I've hiked with Gene, but it's been many many years since then. He was a walking encyclopedia of backcountry knowledge and a first rate companion. My condolences to the Daniell family.

A relaxing day of food, beverages, hiking, some or all.

Another terrific pot luck. THE event of the year. Thanks, Pat and Audrey.

Barbara, Toby and I are coming, bring a non-VFTT friend and her Lab.

Appears you can't get them to work with existing MSRs though, or am I wrong? Thanks for posting. Looks like an improvement for those of us susceptible to cold hands and fingers.

'Yellow - Yellow' was the nickname for an ADK bear, the name coming from the two times the bear was captured and relocated due to aggressive approaches to campers. Would walk right into a leanto and scatter the occupants to get at food and packs. Eventually had to be killed. I don't remember if...

I'm seldom on busy trails but if there's a lot of traffic, I look for eye contact and most people at least nod. With less hiker traffic I always say "hi" or 'Isn't it a Great Day". Always enjoy when people want to engage.

The treeline on the 13k-14k peaks is very low. You're a moving target. We always do a very early start and get down low with the afternoon follies begin. You can see the clouds building and they are on you before you know it.

F---ing hilarious

Chocorua = Noonmark Mt

He fishes too, but four years, that's slow....
