I've been very pleased with the Suspenz Smart AIRLESS DLX Cart They have a number of other models that you might want to look at as well.

I don't have time right now to run this to earth, but I'm pretty sure that number includes all SAR responses by F&G statewide, which means it includes everything from snowshoers wandering in error onto the Dry River Trail to Alzheimer's cases in Salem.

When I taught navigation, it usually ended with a field exercise on a orienteering course with students organized in small teams. They had prior hands-on instruction from me in using map and compass together. They were instructed as follows: 1. You can go to the marked points in any order you...

And on that note I will direct the attention of those interested to this: Pathfinders discussion group on VFTT

I've used the paid version from Audubon for a long time and like it a lot. Merlin is handy but limited in scope. Haven't tried the Peterson and Nat Geo ones. I'm even older than some (all?) of you. My life list is maintained in the 37th printing of the second edition of Peterson's "A Field...

One of my favorite moments as a SAR dog handler helping to train other handlers was to watch them walk past me, as they attempted to find me during practice. On one memorable occasion, I was able to reach out and grab the handler by the ankle. OTOH, one of our unit's favorite moments came when...

The NWS in Gray/Portland just posted this, which I support given the history of deaths and risks to rescuers in recent years: ...EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS... ANYONE CONSIDERING CLIMBING OR HIKING IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS OF MAINE OR NEW HAMPSHIRE THIS WEEKEND...

First saw it in the Ossipees some years back, then a couple times since on other occasions. I also sort of remember other, really good pics on VFTT in the past?

Today's mail brought the Winter 2015-16 issue of "Forest Notes", the magazine of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. It has a wonderful article by VFTT member Kevin Talbot (posting here as "Kevin, Judy and Emma") titled "The Soul of an Explorer" about his family's...

As someone who used to be awakened in the middle of the night on a regular basis, my first recommendation when you think you might be lost is to STOP: Stop moving, immediately. Think about how you got to where you are. Observe your surroundings and the resources you have with you. Plan your...

Well, it does apply in some states in this country (including the state I grew up in that is often derided by hardcore Ayn Rand fanboys): Duty to rescue/report statutes

Some of us would say that this disparity epitomizes the essential difference between CT and NH. But it would be unkind to point that out, so I won't. ;)

What are these "lists" everyone is talking about? Oh, yeah, now I remember – those are the places to avoid on weekends, in good weather, in fact, damn near every day of the year. :-)

Thanks to peakbagger and MikeB for the excellent info! This thread has already surpassed my hopes.

Thanks. I'm looking for something a little less public.

Thanks very much. Slippery Brook and East Branch were on the list as well, good to have some affirmation. Really appreciate the info about Beebe River RR!

Thanks, that is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for … and already on my list. ;)

I realize this might be the summertime equivalent of asking for your favorite powder stash in the winter. :rolleyes: I'm looking for some easy mountain bike riding on the southern side of the Whites, preferably east of Kanc Pass, and without said route(s) being open to motor vehicles driven...

Thanks for posting … I think. :(

This is a point that is not recognized nearly enough in footwear discussions. I weigh nearly fifty percent more than you, and I'm probably somewhat taller. That puts my center of gravity higher than some people (certainly most women) and has fostered my fondness for the support I get from...
