Way to go!! Another awesome feat for you and your little friends :D

You all have much too much fun!! Congrats to the amazing performance by the participants!

If you're just straining, then a coffee filter works really well too. It's also probably the lightest option for carrying. I've used it in the winter as well with no negative affects.

Dang, this sounds like a really fun gig! Sure you don't want to move these session to western NY? ;)

Nope, not at all. Are you referring to the thread on the new ADK Weather Website? I was simply posting that for somebody else. I can't be of any help here. :)

I'm pretty confident that the Catskills and the Adirondacks will not be closed. And really, what else is there in NY?!? :p Just kidding. This is very sad indeed, and I know that the ripple affects will have a distinct impact on the recreational pursuits of the state. Unless the park has seen a...

Awesome!! That's a lot of time in the woods. Love it!

I've look around, and never seen a website like this. I still think your best resource would be the adkforum.com Every year they seem to have ice-out reports, so it should be the most updated way to gather current info.

I would certainly be up for something on the 26th and 27th! I'll be back for a few days from school, and would love to join you. I make no promises, though, because I hate to bag out on people. We'll see what happens!

My guess is mid to early April. Usually the ice goes out on the bigger lakes in late March/early April. Here's a thread that might give you some clues: http://www.adkforum.com/showthread.p...hlight=ice+out

I just bought the "spoon" type from EMS, because they're on sale. I saw the other two kinds at the store. Big and bulky, that's all I could think about. The Swiss Bob I own is already bulky enough, and I'm beginning to phase it out. The "updated" Swiss Bob is much more bulky than the original...

I guess this is a pretty good. Could be better, though. HAHA! Just kidding!! Gentleman, this is an awesome accomplishment. I'm sure that I don't know all the mental, physical, emotional, and mental again challenges that went into the last 7-8 days. It's pretty mind-boggling, that's for...

Oh yea, haha. Forgot about that. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Sureee you did. haha, I didn't even try. I read it, and gave up. I guess I'm a quitter when it comes to non-outdoor tasks, haha.

I'm very glad to hear that she's home safely!! What a blessing :)

So much fun out on the mountains, nice!! And yes, the photos are great!!

Hey there. I saw your post about J-Tree. I'm not sure if you're a member of ADK High Peaks forum, but Stokel (a member over there) has been to J-Tree several times on rock climbing and camping trips. He might have some suggestions for you.

Right, that makes sense. I drink a lot while hiking, but don't eat all that much. The pounds are usually put back on within a day or two.

I could be wrong, I suppose. I've never actually calculated it for a full day of hiking, but using my schools heart rate monitor for a class project it put me at 1,151 calories an hour for my three on-trail tests and full-incline treadmill work. I had an average hiking speed of 3.5 mph, and an...

I usually burn an average of 1,200 per hour at my average rate of hiking. I'm 150-155 pounds, and hike between 2 and 3 miles per hour on average. But it totally depends on who I'm hiking with, the total distance, the level of incline, weight of pack, and terrain. There are lots of factors to...
