and what he said... Also - I have a head net stored in one pocket or another of every backpack and fishing vest I own - b/c sometimes swarming black flies are best kept at bay with physical deterrents such as clothing and bug nets.

I ran into a heavy-set, middle-to-older-aged guy walking at low elevations on Giant Mountain in NY back in '04... he had a 6-shooter on his belt that when asked he said was, "For Bears".

I'd go with an LL Bean tent simply because that if for any reason it doesn't live up to your expectations you can bring it back - with no hassle - at at point - ever. I know you said a 6-person would be the minimum you'd go with, but like Quietman said - blue-tarping over any tent is a...

It very well might ... I'll look into it, thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Dana - I'm hoping that the 5LP/20# tank will solve the problem. What adaptor did you get? Did the stove have a small brass male port that you connected to? Thanks!

It's maple syrup season and this is my first time trying it at home. I used to work at an outdoor education center where we had a commercial-grade evaporator, but now I have to make do with what I have at home. My 2-Burner Coleman Stove (Model # 5466a) runs off of 1lb disposable propane...

Does the company also sell shearling-lined trench coats? http://www.ablogtowatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/bane.jpg - hehe... I'm glad you found something that works - frosty, icy goggles are awful.

Weather forecast for Bartlett, NH Any predictions as to what effect a period of true rain (Monday, 1/6/14) followed by "flash freezing" temperatures (Monday night into Tuesday) will have on trails - packed trails vs un-packed? I'm not sure about the un-traveled, un-packed trails... but I'm...

When hiking uphill (below the treeline) I almost never need more than a long-sleeved base-layer (often with the sleeves rolled up). On colder, less sunny days - or above the treeline - I might add a soft-shell outer layer with the front and armpits fully un-zipped. Like cushetunk, I try to avoid...
