Alan, have you tried using dryer lint? Do you warm the Vaseline up first?

I also sweat a lot. With only a thin base layer shirt under a lightweight eVent jacket the shirt gets soaked, even below 0. Therefore, I wear the Mtn. Hardware transition zip-T which is made with next to skin (N2S) windstopper fabric. The reason I like it is that of all the various fabrics...

This is very unfortunate yet provides quite a different set of circumstances than those under study in the research article linked and to me suggest why NSAIDs are better being prescription meds- so your doctor can monitor you closely. However, if Ibu lost it's OTC status people would just...

Given the morbidity and mortality figures for anti-inflammatory drugs (easy to Google if interested) Ibuprofen (Vitamine I) should never have been given OTC status. I used to but now I never take it. Why hide the symptoms that tell you something you should know? Additionally, inflammation...

See my signature line (Mark Twight). Also, when dayhiking the thought that either I make it out or I spend the night usually impels me onwards.

Thursday November 29. It turned out that Moose Pond wasn’t frozen over so it was just as well I left my skates at home. We did put on microspikes before commencing our excursion and they turned out to be the best gear of the day. Moose Pond is a beautiful body of water and we followed a trail...

After this "interesting" hike I drew in a new bushwhack route to Averill and ended up enjoying a perfect day. Trip reports that chronicle suffering and hardship, near-death experiences, epic proportions, major screw-ups and bitter lessons learned tend to make for better reading than hikes that...

No shortage of good advice on this thread. What I do in winter is cut various bars (Lara, Chocolate, Cliff, Protein etc.) into bite-size pieces that go into Ziplock bags in my breast pockets. I leave the zip-locks and the pockets open for easy access to my food and this enables me to eat on...

Bee honest and tell the truth in the same sentence is a redundancy. Example of a redundancy: he descended downstairs into the basement. Bee honest is misspelled, only one e in be. I refuse to vote on the grounds that it might

If you can get away for an overnight go to Abbott's Hut. You will need to pay for: the bus ride to Lake O'Hara (need to reserve well in advance) an overnight wilderness pass a hut reservation Worth every penny. It's recommended to wear a helmet heading up into Abbott's Pass due to a risk of...

Looking for a challenging dayhike? And one that is rewarding in the extreme? Mount Temple - the tourist route. The ultimate scramble, well written up in Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies.

I feel guilty for having participated in leading this trip report thread of Stinky's so far astray. Not really, well, maybe a little, but not much. When do we go on this trip anyway?

Super-light, overnight bushwhacks are great in dry weather. I've done 3 or 4. It's an extra-long hike with a sleeping break in the middle.

Nice little slide here Lincoln Woods to Saco River via Chrystal Ravine, Hancock..etc...Anderson-Nancy Pond Trail? That would be a good one when the days are longer and the bugs not out yet.

Is Chrystal Ravine the headwaters of Chrystal Brook? What about a part-whacked, part-trailed combo of Hancock-Carrigain (too long for short days)? I still need them for my 48:rolleyes:.

Can't say I like the patch. Maybe I'll change my mind in 13.5 years. In spite of my dislike for the patch, which, while just for fun and some self-deprecating humor, reinforces the idea that old means decrepit, the idea of a golden age peakbagging recognition system is excellent...

I wear VB socks made by Integral Designs. I wear them whenever the mercury goes down. They work. When you remove them hold your nose.

A few pics. I would have taken more but after only 12 pics my camera insisted that the 2 gig memory card was full. There were no other pics on it but it said 12/12 and 205/9279 on the screen. Maybe I needed to format it?

I tend to downplay the difficulties in my reports (thinking they will be too monotonous) but when I sat down to write this one I wanted primarily to convey my head space without writing a whiny report. You know, "Oh, the snow was sooo cold, my mittens got all wet, there was too much blowdown, I...
