Ask this guy Man cooking squirrel for lunch sparks fire that destroys eight apartments

I was in my local EMS store today and saw these Hillsound Freestep6 today. At $39.99, they look like a direct competitor to Microspikes, but these have small silicone anti-balling pads on some of the spikes. I still have the Hillsound Trail Crampon knockoffs but I thought that others may be...

It is listed on this link National Forest Road Status as open. (scroll down). I can't imagine that it would close before 12/1 unless heavy snow occurs.

Wanted to hike Monadnock today, and to avoid the crowds I started from the Gilson Pond Trail head for the Birchtoft Trail. Only a few cars at the parking area so I decided to carry my wallet in my pack as I knew it had some cash in it. 1st mistake, I should have tucked it under the carpet under...

Here is the Accuweather long range forecasts and associated maps. Hope it is true!

I'm seeing the same mess :mad:

From September 17th observer comments. 19:57 Mon Sep 17th Although Fall is not my favorite season, or even perhaps my second favorite season, I do enjoy it quite a bit. Days on the summit like the last couple epitomize the reasons that I enjoy the season. Early Sunday morning we saw our...

This is a zoomed in view from the original picture in the article, no I didn't retouch it. When did cougars learn to smile for the camera?:rolleyes:

Guess what? I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Harebell!!! Thanks for the Harebell fix!

What more can I say for all that helped :D "][/URL] I really like this trail, thanks for making it even better!

SW NH is extremely dry, the latest round of thunderstorms missed us completely. I went up North Pack on Sat (7/22) and even the usually medium sized 1st stream crossing was bone dry, no water at all on the trail. The berries at the 1st set of ledges were all small, wrinkled, and pretty sour...

I had a pair of EMS nylon pants for many years that are similar to THESE. You'll probably have to shorten them though.

2 years ago I parked at Lowe's for an overnight to King Ravine as I had a van packed with goods for a vacation in Maine. There had been break-ins at Appalachia at the time and I was glad to know that the van would be safe. At the 2nd day, I did find the lower half of Lowe's Path to be a long...

Very nice pictures and tale of your adventure. I also go through lots of liquid on hikes and now carry my filter on almost any hike over 5 miles. Do you have a filter? If not, it might be a good investment!

click on the word "stretching" at the end of TEO's post's 2nd paragraph. It is a link to stretching excersices for the IT band. The top 2 have really helped me.

Amen to that!

I also use the SX130. Great wide angle, 12X optical zoom, and image stabilization. I miss an optical viewfinder but other than that, it's perfect for me. I still have my trusty A570is for a backup.

I really like adjustable poles. Shorter for long uphills, longer for long downhills.

Come to the Monadnock region and hike some nice smaller mountains. Almost no black flies, mosquitoes, or deer flies during the day light hours. Edit: Also, only 2 ticks so far, both of the canine variety.

This article shows some of the surface polution issues that are occuring in N. Dakota. Pretty scary stuff.
