    Eagles anyone?

    Eagles There are lots of oportunities in Central New York. Montezuma Swamp, places along the canal, and, if you can believe it, Carousel Center Mall. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2009/01/bald_eagles_soar_over_onondaga.html teejay

    which sock has the most cushion?

    If you're near an LL Bean outlet, check out their large selection of Smartwool socks. They're all Irregulars, but I've yet to find why they didn't pass QC. The Trekking Heavy Cushion socks are around $9.00, about half regular price. They work well for me with a thin liner sock. teejay

    Igloo mythbusting...

    Your calculations seem okay but for just one thing. They assume you have suitable snow that's already compressed and consolidated 2 feet deep. Waiting for Doug Paul. teejay

    VFTT Shirts - which design do you like?

    Black on grey is what I'd prefer. Any thought of doing them in long sleeve also? Or does this just complicate things too much? teejay

    Petzl Spiky Plus - Not a sale thread!

    Traction aids Actually, they are more like Get-a-Grips® but with fewer studs. Having used Get-a-Grips as well as Stabilicers® and Microspikes®, I'd say they wouldn't work as well as any of them. More than likely they would be somewhere between Yaktrax® and Get-a-Grips. In other words, not...

    Coleman peak 1 stove

    My bad I stand corrected. There's more than one type of Peak 1 stove. Mine, model 450-700, has a tank that is separate from the stove burner that connects with a 6-8" flexible tube. I haven't had any experience with the model that MadRiver has but I do know that the replacement pump units...

    Coleman peak 1 stove

    Coleman stove MadRiver, First, don't use an open flame near the open tank. Please. There could be some old fuel in there and, well, you never know. It could be ugly. From what you describe, I don't think you have a Peak 1 stove. Does the tank have a knurled cap at one end that can be...

    Traffic ticket for stickers on rear window

    Obstructed vision Christine, Something similar happened to my daughter. She was a bit late for work and was doing 71 in a 55 mph zone. When the cop pulled her over, he told her why and went back to his car. When he came back to her car with the ticket, he complimented her for her honesty...

    Nah, not this year anyway. Did manage to get two more firetowers, though. Did Poke-O-Moonshine on a kind of cruddy day then "struggled" to the summit of Belfry on a perfect one.
