I know there would be no shortage of hits if I Googled "workflow and PSE". However, I think I have a lot more to gain right here than anywhere else. I backtracked through this forum page by page to 2010 and didn't find anything so here goes. When you open a pic in the PSE editor is there a...

I would determine the elevation of the top of the slide using Google Earth. Then I would descend from the top of WB to one side of the slide, using a good guess as to where it was (you can pull the coords off of GE too) until I was below the top of the slide. I would use Bond Cliff as an...

Do you think it would consulted by many people? I don't. Not enough to justify the work and in spite of the adage...."if it helps one person......" I bet you can find plenty of good stuff already posted all over the net. You could copy-paste the material, or would that be an infringement of...

I personally wouldn't hesitate to descend the south slide after having gone up it. I would even do it in the rain. As for the Owl's head east side whack Cory and I were actually running downhill on the upper half but had to slow down to a walk lower down due to all the birch branches littering...

One could also add: there are multiple sides to every story (and we'll never know them all). I may have been a tad quick on the judgement. :D However, I can't imagine driving home alone.

I didn't read the news story but I have read all the posts in this thread. The guy who left the other guy high and dry by driving off without him should be hanged by his thumbs. Like, come on, is he a sociopath or what? Totally inadmissible, inexcusable and unpardonable. That is not my...

My only experience with bushwhacking West Bond involved traversing from Owl's Head. We went up Hellgate Brook (found a nice solid herd path on the left bank as we ascended) and hung a left at a certain elevation and went up the slide, which was a lot longer than the map indicates. There were...

H. Lecter? Pretty obvious the bear would be killed. (or, if one prefers, "euthanized")

Quite a few years ago I was invited on a hike directly from Seward to Seymour. I asked Pin-Pin for his opinion and he said he wouldn't do it.

Go for it but "caveat emptor". Spread over a half-dozen trips or so I've bushwhacked all the Sewards including Donaldson West, Seymour East and Seward NW and NNW. My findings have always been that it's a very tough area for off-trail hiking. As ColdRiver Run might say, the cripplebush fights...

Seen on a bumper sticker: Keep the US out of VT!

I would call it torture. I can imagine you with one foot flat on my chest and both hands pulling mightily on a pair of rusty old pliers.....

Beat me to it. There are some pretty dedicated ultra-liters posting there. Do a search on their forum for this pack, which weighs 12 oz and you'll find a very interesting thread. I agree on using scales and weighing everything. You'd be amazed at how quickly a pile of stuff that you are...

I would give you one rep point for each lean-to but the software is configured in such a way as to render that impossible. I will however send one such rep point ( a digital quadrangular rendering of a square, green in colour) tout de suite.

Just saw your message. Life is good. Hiking all the time. Just did a 2nd single season winter 46er round while waiting for the bushwhacking season to return. Planning on spending a few days in the whites at Easter with my wife doing highlights like Franconia and a couple otr three Northern...

Daxs, you get ignored because most folks just want to pop a pill and keep on watching TV while stuffing their faces with high fat, high salt fluff. Passive care. In spite of gazzillions of dollars spent on research and "research" and in spite of the ab-so-lute-ly phenomenal number of...

The future is now. http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?44303-QR-Codes-on-the-Trail

We soloists rely mostly on QR codes these days.

Carol, considering, or in spite of, genetic influences, do you think a totally plant-based diet has a favorable impact on one's lipid profile? Have you looked into it? I myself am not a vegan but we try to plan and eat 1-2 vegan meals a week.

I highly recommend reading The Last Well Person How to Stay Well Despite the Health-Care System Nortin M. Hadler A controversial skewering of how doctors and the medical industry turn healthy people into patients. He explains quite clearly how drug companies pay for the studies and how the...
