I really have no idea. :-) I either join someone who's already made the reservations or I just call a week before and ask what's available and then decide if I want to go.

I think it would somewhat explain the claim that he ignored advice. He could have stopped at the cabin at LW and talked to the people there and then headed out via Flume

wow - reservations for summer :-) that's a nice thought. I'm heading over in 2 weeks to spend 3 nights and Chimney Pond.

I was just having a conversation with my son during a lunch break. He wanted to go to Tuckerman Ravine Saturday and I said I'm only going to HoJo's or not much further than the first aid cache at the bottom of the ravine as I anticipate the avalanche danger will not be moderate ;-)

Great info guys. Appreciate it. So was $99 per month a typo? I mean that would be very expensive at 1200 per year :-)

I generally shy away from monthly payment subscription services so I haven't gone the next step to actually purchase and test one of these devices. Was this a typo when you said $99 per month ? I think PLB does not require monthly fee and I am considering one day buying one but if there was a...

Yes. I think it's great to try different things. I tried it too. :-)

I get the pulk if you go out for a week but I do not understand using the pulk on a weekend trip. How much stuff do you want to bring :-) ? You can easily just carry a nice backpack and be done with it.

I would almost be happier if there was no rescue at all. All this antagonism is really annoying.

We drove by yesterday from our hike to Cabot. We were North Conway bound when we drove by the parking lot. There was an unusually large crowd of hikers and a jeep from the WMNF (I think) - we were wondering what's up but did not think of the worst. :-(

There is no shoulder season :-)

agreed. I have several versions of poles as I'm the ever so happy first adopter :-)

I realized that majority of my trips the poles never get used collapsed. Getting one size fixed poles is the answer. No issues with locking mechanisms or wear and tear and weight savings to boot.

Go to YouTube and watch Shug hammocking videos. You will learn everything there.

Hi, I'm going to try to answer all your questions, hopefully. If I miss something feel free to mention it. My hammock has a dual bottom where I can slide a foam mattress. This design reduces the possibility of the mattress sliding to almost zero. I have 2 main camping hammocks: Warbonnet...

this might work ok in really hot weather but if the pad is not wide enough to cover your shoulders - you will feel cold and annoyed while sleeping If you insist on no underquilt then try this https://www.rei.com/product/830279/eno-hotspot-hammock-sleeping-pad-wings I haven't actually used it...

this is not a complaint but I find it interesting to know that you really can't fart around our beloved mountains without everyone knowing it :-)
