Hey BF, I'll be driving through Crawford around 7:00 am heading for Gorham. Let me know if you still need a ride.

"Wiggy's products are the best. But you better hope you never have to talk with the proprietor personally . . ." I've spoken to Jerry a few times over the years. Several years ago when I ordered the bivy in question, he called me and asked if I could wait a couple weeks as he had a military...

I use bivys year round. This is the one I use in winter conditions: http://wiggys.com/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=52 It was designed with input from the Mazamas and the military. I've used it on winter trips to Baxter with great results. This bivy's only real drawback is...

My wife was on the Mountain Gear site the other night. She selected a few items and went to the checkout page. The page that opened was already filled out....with someone else's info. This was on her netbook so she tried the whole process again on the PC. Same person's info was there. She called...

Happy Birthday Amy. Hope you had a great day.

This whole wood importation issue upset me so much that I thought about doing drugs.Upon further investigation it turns out that drugs are outlawed and can no longer be obtained.Darn. You can't legislate human nature.If you don't want people transporting wood to Maine then make the local...

Excellent trip report Michael. It was a pleasure meeting you two this weekend on such a fine hiking day. You don't spend as much time at Barnes Field as I do without acquiring some familiarity with mixology. I can attest that as vile as cider "con carcass" may sound, it can't possibly...

J Dub, I'll be at Pharoah Mt. (Oxshoe Pond) Presi weekend.Maybe I'll see you there. ps: I just heard you stole my bindings.

I'm putting together a touring/AT setup on a Karhu army-issue ski. The Silverttas have great reviews on the interwebs (so it MUST be true) for use with Koflach mountaineering boots. I was wondering if anyone here had experience with this binding.

7000 ... Hmm ... I wonder what that might look like in binary ....... Who would one ( I rhetorically pose) ask?

What is this "alcohol" you speak of?

Actually, Darren isn't being entirely forthcoming here. After we realized that not one Mainer bothered to attend a gathering in their own backyard we,in unison,gleefully exclaimed " TO HELL WITH THEM AND THEIR TREES !" and went at it with Mr. Stihl's finest. On a side note, next year's...

But Dude ..... Where's my car?

He could have picked any campground in the Whites and he chose Hastings? There must be something wrong with the guy.

Thanks buddy.I owe you one.

Hey Audrey, As I recall, the avatar in question was bestowed upon me by the powers that be ( being Darren and Sherpa K). As a matter of fact I seem to remember breaking out in involuntary avatars several times in those days. Let's hope those shenanigans are all behind us.;)

Hey Spencer, I've been scouring Zappos all week in search of asbestos shoes for both of us. I vow that the Cathedral Pines campfire won't leave us with smoking feet this time.

Burlingame State Park in Charlestown, RI. http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/Burlingame_State_Park/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=RI&parkId=252711&topTabIndex=CampingSpot Freshwater pond on site and just a mile or two to the ocean.

I always carry an axe. Spring through fall I usually opt for the Snow & Nealley Hudson Bay Axe. In the winter I strap a Snow & Nealley 2.25 lb single bit on my sled. But if you want to scare the crap out of people or make room at a crowded campground nothing beats a Gransfors Bruks double bit.

Bushwhacked West Bond from Hellgate Ravine. Ravine floor was easy hiking through open hardwoods. Spruce was relentless from 3000' to summit. Camped at Guyot. Hiked out over Bonds. Bondcliff trail dry up top, muddy down below. Encountered another hiker who said he was charged by a moose...
