Another vote for the Kold Kutters.

Better not... she'll never let you go to the bathroom alone again!

Love 'em. Tim Seaver made a convert of me a couple of winters ago. Screwing them in by hand worked just fine for me. Glue is essential.

That's awful. It's my understanding that many autistic people seek solitude. Given that, I wonder how much help this young man can be in getting himself found.

Very cool - I love seeing old rarely signed registers.

Congratulations! I'm at about the same stage - trying to gain a sense of confidence with map & compass skills. Isn't the sense of accomplishment great?! I don't think story skills will help - either people understand or they don't. I'm with ya on a GPS. I've been considering one, but would...

I figured, just kidding :D

Hope you like the book. I've ordered through the library system but it has yet to arrive. Could you let me know what you think? Surely, you meant the reverse? There are veggies and vegans in all walks of life and throughout competitive sports - except perhaps competitive eating! I've been...

Have you seen The Complete Guide to Vegetarian Convenience Foods?

Tasty Eats Soy Jerky Haven't tried it myself but have seen several positive reviews.

Long time lacto-ovo veggie, went vegan about 3 months ago. Dried fruit, nut mixes, various sandwiches, hummus, carrots... You can use tvp or seitan in place of chicken or egg in a chicken salad type of thing, with Vegenaise or Nayonaise in place of the mayo... home-baked cookies or breads...

1) I've read that you should also try to swerve toward the rear of the moose. The reasoning given is that if the moose moves, it is likely to move forward, and that it is better for you and your car to strike a glancing blow to one side of the car rather than a square head on blow. Anyone...

If you hike with a dog, your dog should wear orange too.

I hear them almost every night here at home. I've seen them occasionally while out walking. Blacknblue is right - they are very skittery. Mostly there's only the scent trail left for Dugan 3.8-legs to notice. I've never hesitated to go for a walk in the woods at night, no light, even when I...

This reminds me of a bit I heard years ago on NPR about a town in MA that segregated the audience for town meetings by scent - those who wore it, those who could tolerate it, and those who wanted nothing to do with it. I'm sorry to say, Carole, that I considered the story somewhat of a joke at...

Dugan 3.8-legs gave Welsh-Dickey a firm paws-down vote. Although he was an experienced hiker, with the tough pads that requires, the rough texture of the slabs shredded his pads. Only one was actually hurt that day, but in the few days that followed, every single toe and foot pad lost outer...

I don't know if this applies to bears, but it definitely applies to dogs. I would guess that it can be generalized in that anything that causes pain without disabling an animal carries with it the likelihood of escalating the situation. This is because the instinct of most animals is to lash...

I agree with Mohammed's assessment. If your dog is newly adopted, you should spend several months on some gradual conditioning. If your dog is freshly off the track, it is in shape for sprinting short distances, not walking longer distances. Likewise, his/her pads are conditioned for other...

What Stinky said. It isn't illegal. It doesn't matter if you head out for one reason and I head out for another. It doesn't matter if our reasons are in opposition. Have fun, be safe, no getting hurt, no guilt.

Of course! I think I'm 50-50 - willing to chat if company requires, but just as happy for silence. With that said, I'm sure there are plenty of folks who talk tons who in turn think they're pretty quiet and vice versa. ps I can remember a silly occasion in southern VT with a dog since gone...
