    Packs and Snowshoes like oil and water

    The thing I hate about snowshoes is trying to figure out a way to strap the suckers on the pack so they're not in the way. Meaning I don't have to unstrap them to get into my pack. I usually leave the snowshoes in the car just so I don't have to deal with them. Wouldn't be cool to have a...

    Which down jacket to buy?

    Seems that all bases have been covered on down jackets. Just adding my two cents about daul duty, around town and on the trail. I found my dear expensive gear last a whole lot longer if I only use it only when hiking/climbing etc. As for around town, no need for expensive high techy clothes...

    Dry River Trail Note: the Suspension bridge on the Dry River Trail (appro 3 miles from 302) is condemned. There are lots of camping sites past the bridge along this trail. One other comment: this trail can get real muddy.

    Looking for Koflach Degre owners!

    Both Koflack (degree and artic) are great boots for what you are looking to do. I wanted to get the artic; however, the fit was too narrow for my foot. Same with the degre. Ended up getting the Scarpa Inverno and my feet are super happy. Got to go with the fit, not the reviews.
