nasa worldwind What I love about nasa worldwind is to put it on 'topographic view' and then get down enough so you see everything in 3d, like you where walking on the trails, and mapped on 'topo'.. fun fun

Mont Megantic 07/01/06 I know its not in the States but its still Northeast, so I thought i would post it anyway... I'm looking to go saturday to Mont Megantic (75 kl. east of past Sherbrooke)... I did it in summer but never in winter... Looking to do the 15 or 20 k. loop If i remember well from...

tsl Snowshoes I weight about 185 (without pack) and never had any flotation problem (remember that I bought them only at the end of winter last year though)... Good luck finding them... come up to Montreal! (watch out, some come but never leave....) :p

tsl Snowshoes They do have quite agressive crampons but still feel lite...I say better to buy snowshoes that you will be able to do anything trown at them with than having to buy another pair if you decide to climb a lot after a while (imho)... I just use my regular Asolo 535 boots with them...

tsl Snowshoes Yes the metal thing is a heel elevator and it does help on steep climbing... Not sure what you mean by 'macho'... these are made for all-terrain but are lite enough for your weight (i would think)... I really like the way the bindings work and once adjusted they are super fast and...

tsl Snowshoes I bought a pair of TSL 217 rando snowshoes at the end of last winter and I love them... I did Jefferson And Adams and the Sawteeth, Gothics , Armstrong , Wolfjaw traverse with them and they were excellent so far... cant say in the long term... They cost me around 235 (canadian) in...

ankle sprain once again, thanks for all your advice... i will be going to a sport physio... any day now... no chance to take there... i would not want my ankle to go in winter on top of a mountain in minus 20 (centigrades) weather... At least I caught that tough softball fly (before landing...

ankle sprain all good advices so far, thanks... I see that i may be in it for a longer run than I thought...

ankle sprain A YEAR!!!! HAAAAAAA! :eek:

Im sure it happened to some of you, so how long do you usually have to wait to hike again after a bad ankle sprain, and do you wear a brace (what kind) afterward? Its been three weeks and it still hurt when I walk a short distance and i am going nuts (luckily theres swimming)... And in the same...

Camera... Anybody ever tried the Bushnell digital outdoor camera? It looks interesting for hiking pictures, but I haven't seen much reviews about it... thanks

nasa vs google yes, it is similar to the google in that aspect... but the nasa one has several different ways of looking and, as mentioned earlier, its the 3d topographic view that makes it super for using it as a hiking tool... Try it...its really something else...

http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/index.html I dont know if this was in a post before, but if you go to this address and download the 'WOrld wind' program on your computer, it gives you incredible views of the earth (mainly the U.S.) As a hiking tool, i love the topo maps view.. you can see...
