waz good y'all, i work at my local ems (greatest p/t job ever) and tried to plan a store trip to the notch to get more peoples out in the winter and unfortunately it's failed miserably. there was much interest of course when we talked about it(hmmm, no more planning trips at the bar after...

redwood, i haven't been there recently, but last year on the first day of spring i climbed up the slide and found it to be very different going up then going down. the conditions can definetly change within just a few hours if it is a sunny day. climbing it in the morning before the sun had...

good morning all, this whole working thing really annoys me and i need to get away with only a 2 day weekend :( To keep things action packed and justify 9 hours of driving, I have the idea of a Franconia Ridge overnighter up flume slide to liberty springs to lafayette and down the OBP. i will...

thank for the response, and not to argue just to argue, but to ask to find the difference; i must ask!?!?!? ( and i ask this of everyone, not just you since i used your quote :) ) aren't raccoons scavengers too? and yet we all know not to feed them. or are they technically not scavengers (i...

my first experience with grey jays was on west bond. the little guys seemed so friendly i told my friends i am so connected to wildlife one would land on my out streached hand...and one did! This seemed really cool until the next day when we stopped at galehead hut to cook lunch and saw everyone...

thank you for the trip report, glad y'all had a great time. how much snow is on the trail on the ridge? would ski's or a snowboard be tough to carry from the hut to the ski traisl due to low branches? thanks, william

i too love my pocket rocket. mt brasslite alcohol stove is 1.4 ounces and can't break, no moving parts. i used it a few weeks ago on monadnock in 20 degree temps and boiled water. all good for three seasons. super duper light! not as fast as the jet boil.....but way more reliable and lighter...

nikwax to the max

strap on or step in???!? i have the G-10's too and have no complaints, but....... if you will be mostly using them with plastics, nothing beats step-in cramp-ons. i picked up a pair of BD sabertooths last year and DO NOT miss fiddling with straps when its freakin' cold. i can whip them out and...

we have all seen the TP in the trees before come spring and its not a great sight. if away from any privies and on snow do y'all leave everything? just bag out the TP, or carry it all out? i usually just carry out the TP in a seperate trash ziplock. would this be considered bad form?
