    Banff...1 year of remote camera shots

    Great video Talk about your cornucopia of wildlife. Every thing from **** sapien to Ursus arctos horribilis to elk americana with other smaller species thrown in for good measure. My question is....What was the dead carcass in the middle of the trail? It scared the Elk and was finally taken...

    Would a "summer pulke" be anti-LNT?

    Wilderness Rules Violation While this is a noble idea, just remember, this cart would be a direct violation of the rules pertaining to Wilderness Areas. The rules state..."No mechanized equipment or mechanical transport (including bicycles, carts, and wagons. Wheelchairs are allowed.)" WMNF...

    I'm lucky, my Rice Crispys told me to ignore the voices in my head. But I think they might be lying. :eek:

    On of the BEST Pictures I've Seen 1, 4, & 9 I think I know, but Number 2 has to be ONE OF THE BEST WMNF PICTURE I HAVE SEEN (BAR NONE)!!! Put the pic on a mat, throw a frame around it and start selling it in and around the area. I bet more then one place would take it on consignment. GREAT...

    Quick question on the Garmin 60CSx handheld GPS

    Using a Larger card in the 60CSx I see there is some debate and confusion on transferring the maps between Micro-SD cards. I would like to have the option of using a larger capacity card to store tracks, waypoints, and POI's. Maybe someone has a trick I haven't tried. This is what I have...

    Quick question on the Garmin 60CSx handheld GPS

    Thanks Doug..... I find it hard to believe Garmin puts out a product with almost no documentation behind it to teach the more advanced options on the GPS. I'm sure there are people like myself out there who would like to know every little option without having to go though the trial &...

    Quick question on the Garmin 60CSx handheld GPS

    I'm new to the Garmin product, and the documentation Garmin supplies both with the product and on-line stinks, and knowing many members have this product, I'm asking this question knowing one of our GPS experts can help. When I have the "Satellite Page" displayed, there is the letter "D"...

    QR Codes on the Trail

    My Mind Is More Open Then I Thought At a get-together over the week-end, I raised the question about incorporating QR Codes in Trail Signs in the White. This group consisted of both hikes and non-hikes. After a spirited and lengthy exchange of thoughts (fueled by good food and better alcohol)...

    Walking Music

    "Stayin' Alive" The last time I took a CPR Refresher course, we were instructed to use this song (Stayin' Alive) to time our chest compression timing. The song title is ironic when used for this reason, but hard to forget when the pressures on. See you on the Trail...(walkin' to the beat)...

    QR Codes on the Trail

    I just read on the AMC's Equipment Blog (Appalachian Mountain Club's Equipped) about the use of QR Codes (those funny looking square bar codes you use with your smart phone) on trail signs. Come up to the trail sign with a QR code, whip out your smart phone, and get information about the trail...

    Video- "What NHF&G Carry in a Winter SAR

    To tell you the truth, three quarters of the way through the video, I was sure he was going to pull a Frozen Daiquiri machine out of one of the stuff sacks. He's pack is like a backpackers Tardis. (it's bigger in the inside, than the outside). With all seriousness now, Wouldn't some of the...

    Video- "What NHF&G Carry in a Winter SAR

    Found this eight minute video on Youtube. What NHF&G Pack I chuckled when he pulled out an AMC Trail Map. I guess that's a compliment to the AMC. Only use the best (and most accurate). It take eight minutes to pull all the equipment out. That's a lot of stuff. See you on the trail...(Not...

    North Country Bear Cub Rescue

    I thought I'd never say this, but "hooray to the Loggers" I'm really surprised the loggers left a couple of hitches in the area and left. I know the profit margin is tight in logging, and these hitches are money in the bank, having invested time and materials in the downing and moving of...
