thank you for the report and update on owl's head cairn. its a great hike, glad you had a good hike in the woods.

i am at work and don't have the book infront of me, but i think its called Staying Found. It was recommended by several people and i found it to be informative.

The backcountry weather report from the huts is back!!! wooooooo-haaaaaaa! http://www.mountwashington.org/backcountry/index.php its lookin' a bit skinny, but there should be beta from all open huts soon.

to blaze or not to blaze is a debate unto itself. however, the money and manpower being used to take down cairns and remove blazes seems like a waste. I imagine that time and money could be much better spent, especially since there doesn't appear to be a surplus of funds. Scraping off tree bark...

Redrock Ravine/Bear Pond Oct. 7-10 photos: http://community.webshots.com/album/480570374keaJAd The thought was to avoid the crowds of the holiday weekend by doing a bushwhack and spending most of our time off trail. The reality is the rain, rain and more rain kept most everyone away from the...

temps in the 20's, cannister was in your bag, cooking should be no problem. just try and make sure you using a new cannister. if you have to boil another pot, warm it up again first before cooking. i've cooked at 0 with that stove which was entertaining at first with flareups! but keeping the...

just my 2cents hello all, just my 2 cents. i have been cold in my 20degree bag when its 30 and warm in the same bag when its 15. A LOT depends on lots of other factors besides the bag itself like your sleeping pad, what you ate, what you are wearing, where you are sleeping, humidity as well...

also wildcat ridge trail has some sketchy spots, especially if wet or icey. i don't think the dangerious spots are high enough for all that snow and ice, but even wet i'd be super careful. enjoy, its a fun trail!

i am not sure where to post this, but as it pertains indirectly to this website and posting photos for trip reports on this website i hope it is allowed and someone can shed some light. i cannot rearrange photos in 1 album and the album doesn't show up except in "my photos" and its a public...

is there really that much ice still up there? anyone have any pics? i can't wait for the winter, so much fun!

Alistair, On very cold winter backpacking trips the problem with boots is they can freeze overnight and be really cold to almost useless the next morning. Double boots eliminate the problem as the plastic shell stays out with no worries and the inner liner goes in your sleeping bag. Some people...

Himilaya Himilaya directed by eric valle its a french movie, originally called caravan, about the dolpo people in tibet. all non actors, an amazing movie with the himilayas in the background of every scene. the "making of" featurette on the dvd tells the story of filming which was really...

Edit: I didn't mention this happened with two different vehicles owned by different people.
