    New Hampshire Fish and Game Search and Rescue Funding Hearing

    Oh, thanks Forgive me for the question, but after 6 pages of graffiti and no facts I'm so spun around I've forgotten what the issue is. :) I don't know about views membership but don't the NASAR and the MRA, that you quoted in your post #76, advocate the status quo, free rescue?

    What do you mean? Who is “nobody”? Please clarify.

    Hydrofracking for natural gas in Catskills

    I could have been clearer. This was in response to reading the news article Peakbagr posted. I agree that drilling companies should divulge chemicals injected into the environment. However, if they don't and while we wait for the courts to compel them to, why don't we find out for ourselves...

    Hydrofracking for natural gas in Catskills

    Numerous issues, that are technical in nature and emotionally charged over numerous groups, what a cluster. Well, a study by a Forest Service researcher lends validity to the notion that recovered fracking liquid is (at least) detrimental to ground vegetation in the short term. (abstract) So...

    New Hampshire Fish and Game Search and Rescue Funding Hearing

    I think these things come about thusly: Probably some big, fat, cigar smoking, highbacked plush leather chair sitting, bean counting, barking, bureaucrat was reviewing an abridged annual budget in the presence of some skinny, meek, measly, fearful, dorky classes wearing department head, while...

    Are you referring to this? Additional information relative to financing SARs in NH.

    New Hampshire Fish and Game Search and Rescue Funding Hearing

    -Excellent point.- Why isn't the committee accepting written public comments? That way the views membership could agree on one message to deliver in writing. :rolleyes: IMO, in order to have an informed discussion with Concord, or address their concerns, you first have to know what their true...

    Busy weekend for rangers

    It's a tourist thing. They don't think like we do. :) -Or- Anais Nin

    Owls Head in a Day, Sage's 42nd 4K. October 9, 2011

    A thoroughly enjoyable read for sure. Having help raise 3 girls who’s only interest in the outdoors is a quick run from the car to the entrance of the mall, I have absolutely no understanding of the dynamics here. Kudo's to you for continuing to share your adventures with those that may not be...

    AAI mountaineering beginner course

    Reading through the itinerary, I like the idea of learning skills in typical real life environments. Being able to apply and practice learned skills in multiple environments (like the ones you want to pursue) is huge IMO. A 5:1 group ratio with a max size of 9 seems reasonable but I would offer...

    Polyester Pollution

    GoLite has been putting “it's money where it's mouth is” for a couple of years on these type of environmental issues. I'm not trash

    "The Grid" has replaced "The List"

    As a side thought, given the fact that many more people are finishing the grid in NH than are finishing in NY does that mean the Whites are a lot easier than the Adirondacks? ;) :)

    Climber Who Left Partner Cited for Disorderly Conduct

    Thanks for the kudo's everyone. It was such a odd situation, I think it was fun to ponder the ethical, moral and emotional consequences of decisions made through the perceptions of limited information.

    3 hikers die from fall after crossing warning barrier in Yosemite

    It's the tourist thing. That place is filled with tourists. They don't think like you and I. :) My job is done here. :)

    Hiker killed in Trap Dike

    I'm recusing myself from this thread because I have probably pissed off enough folks over the years discussing this. However, before doing so I'm interested in getting your take on the bravdo issue. Can you explain in further detail your feeling on this?

    Thanks for the link. Does this mean you're softening your position on this topic? :eek: :)

    Ya, doing the same thing over and over is just crazy. :)

    Hiker killed in Trap Dike

    To help frame the discussion for those that haven't climbed the Trap Dike, below is part of the description of the Trap Dike in “Adirondack Rock” arguably “the” rock climbers guide book for the Adirondacks. Remember, this is written for the rock climbing community not the hiking community...

    Climber Who Left Partner Cited for Disorderly Conduct

    Interesting observation. I think reasonable people could have differing opinions of that. As stated, I felt a de facto responsibility for her but it wasn't at first sight, but could have been. It's funny how the nuances of perceptions shape your emotions and ultimately your decisions. When I...
