    Beats a Hurricane - Fall Weather Transition

    Depends on where you are. The northern Whites, probably, though for a shorter amount of time. You can play around on the Climate Explorer and see what what some of the modeling predicts given two scenarios. But, that's modeling the future. (The majority of past climate models have been accurate...

    Patagonia Founder Donates Entire Company Worth $3 Billion

    It's still not the right word. It's my understanding that Chouinard's wealth was tied to the value of Patagonia, which has grown signficantly over the past fifteeen years or so due to higher than planned for sales growth. "Amass" certainly doesn't fit based on what I've read about Chouinard...

    Patagonia Founder Donates Entire Company Worth $3 Billion

    "Amass" is not the right word. It means, "to collect for oneself." According to Chouinard's words and actions, he has not accumulated wealth for himself and is uncomfortable with his wealth.

    Mt Cabot Fatal

    How does ""I have to wonder if it is a function of the post pandemic surge in hiking, maybe bringing people less fit than "typical" for a hiker," not imply inexperience? [Ed. Emphasis added.] I don't know Ms. Papa, but there was nothing in the reports to indicate that her tragic death was a...

    Mt Cabot Fatal

    As far as I can tell, the Amneal Pharmaceuticals coupon reduces the price of Adrenaclick by no more than $10, not to $10. (That's shoddy fact-checking by Consumer Reports.) Adrenaclick (two-injector pack) currently retails for $109.99 to $111.93 at CVS. Nonetheless, it is a big improvement over...

    Mt Cabot Fatal

    You did imply that she was inexperienced and it sounds like you're trying to find fault with the deceased, Daniele Papa, even if that wasn't your intent. Such comments ts are best left to the comments section of a news site. BTW, experienced and fit hikers succomb to cardiac-related deaths...

    Franconia brook trl/13 falls/twin brook trail region beta request

    Are you saying that bear spray wasn't available at the West Hartford REI? If not, what was the incorrect information? (That's great that you are older than 40; you've hiked in NH, CO, and CA; and have seen a bear. Have you been anywhere else? Have you spent any time in NH outside of what's...

    Awesome job, Grey J! I agree with Sierra, Blueberry Mountain is a wonderful hike.

    I agree. That said, there are stories of bears in the Adirondack High Peaks visiting lunching hikers. If carrying bear spray is going to make the difference between someone feeling comfortable hiking or not, then I see no harm in carrying it.

    If it would make you more comfortable, the REI in West Hartford, CT, has bear spray in stock.

    Tenting near Galehead Hut

    You are incorrect. First, the rules on the website are clear. Second, the backcountry rules are redundant, not contradictary on the PDF you link to. Nowhere does it specify that the 200' rule is only a guideline. Third, a call to the WMNF Supervisor's Office in Campton confirmed that the 200'...

    Then look for other sources. Here's a piece in the Globe, although you'll note that Strang and Co. didn't respond to interview requests, just as they didn't respond to requests for comments from the Storm Skiing Journal. P.s. Ness and Strang also refused to comment to WMUR.

    N.E. Clean Power Connect in Maine - Should we care ?

    So much for "America exceptionalism," huh? Extreme weather events caused by anthropogenic climate change are a far greater risk. Tell that to someone using a smart phone, laptop, or driving an electric car.
