More blatant hyperbole from the environmental extremists! :p :p:p:p:p Haley LaPointe gave birth to her 4th child in June. I would have sworn that she had more also.

So you're reasoning is that mankind is too insignificant to have an impact on this that are global in size? So I'm guessing that you also feel that the depletion of the ozone layer and subsequent stabilization/improvement after CFC's & other similar chemicals were banned could not have been...

Speaking of "Domes", I still have my 1st pair of Nike Lava Dome's, the "first" trail runners from 1982+\- (they were marketed as "approach shoes"). I had WMNF rangers telling me multiple times that these were unsafe for hiking and that I would be needing rescue for ankle injuries (true story)...

Drove by the EMS store in Peterborough NH today and it is closing soon. 😔😔🥺😢 Sad to see for what used to be their center of operations for the stores and catalog in the old days. The end of an era!!! I bought most of my gear there, and most was great buys on previously returned items. I...

Lots and lots of out of stock items, and if you buy, there are no returns. I am old enough to remember the lifetime satisfaction guarantee!

Just noticed the comment on the landing page for the blowout sale. All Sales Final.

I had worn out the fabric in the heal area in several pairs of shoe and tried using fabric glue to attach a new layer of fabric over the area, but this also wore out rather quickly. Then I remembered that I had a large section of tanned dear hide, so I cut out a matching area and used Gorilla...

I have had various versions of Sole Heat Moldable Insoles for many years. Bought 4 sets when they changed the graphics for $25 each last year and still have 2 unused. They are firm, but provide great support. Completely solved my plantar fasciitis issues. From what I recall, they are very...

Very nice write-up, it was a good read and well illustrated with the pictures!

It is amazing that hiking is such major motivation for so may who suffer situations like yours. It is a good thing to have a goal to strive towards and push for, and hiking if pursued in measured goals is a target to strive for. Hope that there are many for hikes in your future!

What is stopping a place like the former Lowes store(just for an example) from charging people $10 a night to allow them to sleep in their cars overnight, and have a couple of porta-pottys behind the building. It's private property...... Just throwing it out there.

I have used Sole heat moldable insoles for may years now, and they have been great. These are available in 14 wide, and are trim to fit. https://yoursole.com/us/shop/mens/footbeds/active-wide-medium

I am sure that is what happened to me quite a few years ago on a hike up S. Pack. I did the hike up S. Pack before work and had way more than 20+ nymphs on my legs and pants when I got to my office about 2 minutes away. I was so jumpy for the next few days whenever a felt a twitch, that I...

There is ice in the caves in King Ravine that is there year round. Underground glacier?

From the auto road site: CAN I PARK ON THE SUMMIT OVERNIGHT AND HIKE TO THE LAKES OF THE CLOUDS HUT? Yes. You are required to alert the attendant at the Toll House that you are going to park overnight.

Hiked S pack yesterday and took the time to prepare with lots of bug spray, but was amazed that there were no black flies or mosquitoes. Even the dreaded eye nats were non existent. Anyone else experiencing the same? With all of the recent wet weather, I was expecting worse.

Thank you Hillwalker!! I went for a 1 mile road walk yesterday with some hills, and for the last 6 months, I was breathing really hard during the walk. Yesterday was a mind opener as to how much better things are as I never had to even pause for a break. Today I was up on the roof multiple...

I arrived at CMC yesterday at 9am, was taken down to the procedure room at 12:30, was back in my room at 1:30, and was home at 7. They found that my main(right) cardiac artery was almost completely blocked, but were able to place a stent and open the artery back up. The xray images are cool and...
