Fun and low key time at the gathering. Nice to meet all and great job hosting by coldfeet..Coldfeet also cooks up a mean fish soup! Nice to meet all that showed up to hang. Recovering from cold so not much hiking except pleasant walk around Dolly Copp. some pics on facebook...

Just saying there are people who make less than 10 grand a year, so charging them 10 grand means even on a payment plan they will never get the debt payed off with interest[ I am assuming there would be interest]. I do not know how much this rescued hiker makes a year..Lots of people think there...

Would respectfully say you are right on a lot of key points but I would assume this guy does not want all the attention and does not have the money to pay. Anyone will say anything to get out of ten grand. Maybe they should have a sliding scale based on income level? Hats off to the rescuers who...

Is Dolly Copp road open to Barnes Field from the 16?

Not only policy changes, changes in employee moral too. I have been a life long ems customer saddened to see the changes since new ownership took over. Nothing worse then some mean young trustafarian biting off your head when you are spending more than hundred bucks. Try I.M.E., its most likely...

http://www.fws.gov/northeast/ecougar/pdf/easterncougar5-yearreview-final-111610.pdf found this study on the eastern puma. Very interesting on p.10, describes a study where 322 possible scratching/pheromones samples were taken. Ten were puma in origin with the numbers being;4 north american/ 4...

P.S. I'm sure we'd all love to see that shot! All I could think of was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaiSHcHM0PA [note; stagger beat me to it..]:)

Does anyone have the exact milage between north brother and Mullen[going over fort]? Looks like around 3 miles..

that will be $ 40 grand please, cha-ching....Maybe they should not have summited under said conditions?:(

Great story and pics. Thanks for posting peakbagger. Maybe you will see one soon up in your neck of the woods:)

Aconcagua?

Almost my set up to a tee. Except I got some very thick polysomething pant liners instead of puff pants. I forgo the extra batteries,new batteries that are kept warm and dry work fine! For example I have never gotten the concept of a pad when spruce boughs work fine as a natural pad.[except in...

I think snowshoes with good traction can eliminate the need for micros most of the time. Extra socks can double as extra mitt liners. I usually hike with a 15 to 22 pound pack including water and food. Keep in mind some people might think my pack weight is too heavy. There was a great thread on...

Thank you! Next time I drive out to L.A.,I will stop by:) ,and bring bourbon which does not freeze as bad as beer. Worst part of going inside after being out for me is how my pleasant girlfriend likes to call me a wimp while I pour hot beverages into my system...happy New year!

Had a great time outside this week,spent most of wed/thursday outside,it was great. Made some notes; 1] Time spent maintaining fire maybe better spent keeping warm inside bag.Maybe a small gas stove would cut down on time spent making fire and getting heat for cooking food together. 2] Working...

Keep it up! I think I still hold the record for most attempts per actual peaks bagged.4 attempts on Abraham in maine before I got it,3 on the Twins.One attempt for Madison and Adams before bagged,etc. I like Rocket's idea for 2014;No lists,lol. This site has a large number of strong hikers who...

Congrats Jeremy! Thank you for all your help to the community[including me] with getting the peaks over the years.Happy Holidays :)

I got these a few weeks ago as a pre xmas present http://www.cabelas.com/product/Herters-Waterproof-Insulated-Snow-Bibs/1626880.uts I added them for general work outside in winter for about 20 to 0 degrees.I have been very happy with them,especially how well they shed medium snow and light...

Hope people do well driving if the ice gets bad up there.I read there was extra power companies up north from other states to help with outages.Not sure I want to drive tomorrow morning to hike now.Guess I could stay home and pile on the carbs now that it is winter! found this...
