    Bird and tree reference books

    "The audubon society field guide" is the definitive reference book for trees,but make sure you get the east coast edition,not the western one.Learning how to identify hardwoods without leaves can be tough at first,but stay with it the rewards are immense.Another factor to consider is how several...

    Hunting season for deer

    Lucky for us hikers,that limited "growing"season is over in our area thanks to the cold.Terrible problem out west though,ecological damage due to illegal grows is very sad.Especially considering any outdoor grow in Cali parks is done by criminals and not patients[who can cultivate at home under...

    Man vs Women

    Agreed.I believe the request should come from the op.Maybe along the lines of settling for a intellectual win for trying to get some sort of thread going.Seems like some of the folks on our site here know a thing or two about hiking/climbing/ice climbing, but will not touch this well intended...

    Man vs Women

    This thread is bad.Two thoughts here:1]What about people that identify with both sexes?Do they make your superior team?Very gender narrow topic here for 2012.2]Good thoughts by some posters, but can you give me some reason why gender identification and body organs have anything to do with hiking...

    Pack the raingear for a possible surprise visit from Cousin Sandy next week

    Looks like Sandy added some carbs over night,impact area could be anywhere from Newfoundland to the jersey shore.Weather channel seems to indicate she should downgrade to a tropical storm by the time she reaches the northeast.This one seems to have a very unusual track[random at best].There is a...

    Getting to the White Mountains - Difficult This Winter
