Down Vrs Synthetic vrs $$$ I've got to agree with Chip on this one. I've owned quite a few different North Face bags and other various bags. I've been more than satisfied with down bags. I think they keep you warmer and pack down much nicer. I had a zero degree bag on Mt Rainier by...

SL1 ... use .... Chip.. do you use this tent in Winter ? Just curious ... does it hold up well ? thx ;)

Solo Vrs Team. I second Doug's comments. I've done both and working with a group of 3 or 4 is just the cats meow. The stronger hikers remain at the front for a longer period of time and less ambitious hikers just take the front for 5 or 10 minutes. Is usually works out really well and...

Yard .... I did that many years ago. Go for it .. as I remember it had a nice ledge with very good views. It made a nice loop as I remember it. As long as you're out hiking .. its worth the effort. ADK 46er 3396 .. :D

New Goal .... I say its time to do something outside of NH now. How about Rainier ? I got to the 11,000 ft level. Never reached the summit. With your determination ... not a problem. Stayed in a tent at Camp Muir .. talk about cool views. Try it; you'll like it. :p

Paris Sleds .... I ordered mine through EMS last year. I believe it was in the $30.00 range. Getting ready to try it this year. Mabye Sawyer River Trl for a trial run. ;)

Contrats ... now the continuation hike !!! To get the rest .... ;)

Or ..... you could Ask a fellow hiker if happens to have any spare poles one of which is slightly bent and I'm thinking he'd probably give you the other one which in not bent ? :D

Mittens for Cold hands I agree with Peakbagr. I've used Dachsteins for years. They are made in Austria. They are shrunk down so they are very tight. I use a set of OR's shells and pull the Dachsteins out if my hands get too warm and just use the liners. When the hands get cold I put the...

Question ... ? What kind of camera do you use ? thx ....:D

Sno Seal I'm with Doug on this one. I've been using Sno Seal since around 1972. I've never had a pair of boots come apart while using Sno Seal. If fact I've crossed many streams after sealing my LL bean boots and never had my feet get wet. I crossed when the streams weren't rushing and...

Pulker Treks .... Geez .. thanks guys. All this material is just what I was looking for. I'll check those publications. I was thinking ... pull the sled in and set up base camp then do day trips to the summit. All these trails mentioned is what I was looking for. :D Appreciate all the...

Can anyone suggest some good hikes in the White Mts for pulling a sled other than the Wilderness Trail or the trail to Carrigain ? Somewhat on the flat side :confused: thx much :D

:eek: I would settle for a little longer Indian Summer and get in some "light" pack hikes before winter sets in for good. Warm days .. cool nights ... awesome :D

I liked Street and Nye. Had a blast just coming straight down through the snow in the pine trees with snow shoes. Didn't have to go back and forth just straight down till we hit the frozen river. Did it in February. Lots of fun great memories. :D

I'd go with microspikes too. Easier to carry if you don't really need them. :D

Tdawg We'd be going up it .. at least that's the plan so far.

Zealand Cliff Trail TDAWG ... thanks for reply .... Guess its worth the short distance instead of going around to Zealand Hut .. thx for the reply ...

Zeacliff Trail ~ Nartrab How is Zeacliff trail ? I've never been up or down it

Mt Rainer I did Rainer with 3 other hikers. We did it without guides. Went around June 19th. Your pack is indeed pretty close to 85lbs. Each of us had to carry extra fuel in case you get stuck out. It real isn't that difficult. Should leave early in the morning to avoid soft snow as the...
