I have some friends looking to do the Wildcats and Carters with an overnight at Carter Notch Hut. I’ve suggested the following route. Hike in 19 Mile to the hut and pick your bunks. Slack pack up to Wildcat A then over and back to Wildcat D. Spend the night at the hut. Next day hike out over...

Does that apply to a self-rescue? If for instance a person is injured and his/her friends are able to carry or walk the injured person out, and they just so happen to run into a ranger along the way, must they then relinquish control to the ranger and wait for a rescue crew to arrive? Or can you...

In the interest of full discloser, I was leading a group up the North Slide and caused a few rocks to tumble down the slide. One actually hit a woman in the face who I was leading. Not sure what I yelled at the time. After hiking back down to her location and patching her up we finished the hike...

Hmmm, a group of us are going in August for a week, I just might have to give it a shot. Though I have done the Brothers before, I do not remember all of the detail since I did it 7 years ago. I guess it is time to revisit both peaks. I just retrieved my Baxter map from my car. Given how close...

Being ex-military I usually yell “incoming”; however DougPaul is correct, the proper terminology is essential in a split second encounter.

"Compass? In NH? For trail hikers? I use a compass regularly for hunting and off-trail backcountry skiing. It's a great skill to have and am glad I'm fairly competent with one. Still. I wonder how many NH rescues have been due to a lack of a compass?" You might want to ask mountain 49 (Julie)...

Seems about right. I headed up to Greenleaf on Saturday to help a friend haul some supplies for her party and on the way down I encountered about 20+ Canadian teenagers on a school trip. It was raining, sleeting, and snowing yet most of them were wearing summer sneakers with little to no extra...

Here is a trip from last year. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4034584510232.166456.1450265390&type=1&l=4dfef76ce0

Roberta Deb and Glen said the first crossing for the Twins was raging and not crossable.

This August will be my 8th week long trip to Baxter and I can honestly say I cannot think of a time when I had a problem with the rangers or the regulations.

After a two year bout with Plantar Fasciitis I dropped some coin on a pair of custom made insoles. They helped immensely.

Trish Alex and Sage are jetting back from Spain as we speak. Hugh did accompany them on about half of the 500-mile Camino de Santiago to raise money for women around the world. http://www.girlsontheway.com/

I recently did a short paper on the logging industry in Waterville Valley along the Mad River for my Principles of Historic Preservation class. There was a spur line that ran up to the Campton Dam at one time until several accidents stopped the practice around 1930. Two sources that were helpful...

As someone who has worked in academia for close to 30 years it takes a rare individual to go from a position of authority on campus to being accepted by the student population as one of their own. It speaks volumes to the kind of person he was. God speed Sean!

A group of us go ever year in August. We find it easier and better for all concerned if we rent a large camp area so that we do not interfere with anyone else’s wilderness experiences, or anyone interferes with ours.

I must have an odd constitution because I cannot remember the last time I took a dump in the woods while hiking including both a Presi traverse and Bond Traverse.

I was thinking the same thing. I will be heading up Thursday for my first haul and I will take a side trip over to where we saw rthe tracks to see if there any new ones.

Thanks, I was looking at that page earlier. Since this project involves “exploring” I’ve often wondered why when we lose power our neighbor down the road and supposedly on the same grid does not. Inquiring minds need to know, so it looks like I will be doing the grid, though a different grid...

Could you give me a general location? Also, do you know who operates them?
