    2024: Leas snow than normal

    No. "This whole climate argument" is not an argument. The oil and gas industries have lobbied politicians and created propoganda for decades to create denialism of anthropogenic climate change and maintain our dependency on the oil and gas industries. It really is as simple as that.

    2024: Leas snow than normal

    No climate scientist has said any of these statements, except perhaps the "no turning back." We are already in the limiting and mitigating consequences stage. I didn't say anything about locking people away, I said, "They should be ostracized from public, civil discourse." Let's say for...

    2024: Leas snow than normal

    I'm a big believer in civil discourse. Some of my best friends are ideologically on the other side of the political spectrum from me. As we all know, the way to have civil discourse is to attack a person's argument and not the person. At some point, however, does a person's outlandish beliefs...

    Avalanche on Mount Washington's Tuckerman Ravine last week

    Here's the video from the Mt. Washingon Avalanche Center's YouTube channel.

    Off Trail Fatal on Kinsman

    Huh?! What are you using for a bicycle helmet? An ANSI/Snell/CPSC approved helmet most definitely does NOT use a "hard shell and strap suspension system." The primary protection is from the use of an expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam liner, just like with ski helmets, and I assume motorcycle...

    Off Trail Fatal on Kinsman

    Read the Helmets.org site, which is a consumer-funded, bicycle helmet advocacy organization. They have the data.

    Off Trail Fatal on Kinsman

    It is black & white. Time/age of helmet alone is not a valid reason to throw away a helmet.

    This is b.s. meant to sell more helmets. https://helmets.org/replace.htm

    Hypothermic Hikers Rescued in the Pemi

    https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/24/metro/siblings-massachusetts-new-hampshire-rescued-franconia/ Fortunately they did do some things correctly. However, both hikers falling into the water TWICE suggests poor decision-making.

    2024: Leas snow than normal

    No! The impact of humans is definitive. Furthermore the symptoms are not distorting nature's equilibrium and compensation mechanisms, it is the volume and rate of production of greenhouse gases that humans have created and are creating that are causing the catastrophic distortion. This isn't...

    2024: Leas snow than normal

    No, it's not "a question of how much humans are impacting the calculus." It is settled science. There isn't a constructive debate. Period. Until we start calling out the b.s., people will continue this ignorant narrative.

    Dachstein Wool Products

    Perhaps, but Cabot Hoisery, the maker of Darn Tough socks, has been making socks since 1978. Its Darn Tough brand has been around for twenty years now. On the subject of socks and mittens, vapor barriers should not be overlooked. SectionHiker's Reynolds "large" oven bags have worked well for my...

    Dachstein Wool Products

    No. The article of clothing has to be made in the Dachstein region to be called Dachstein. Technically anything made in Dachstein can be called by that name. And again, not all 100% boiled wool from Dachstein is the same. The mitten on the left is that sold by Vaude, the mitten on the left is...

    Dachstein Wool Products

    That is correct, Dachstein wool mittens and other clothing are not from a single brand, they are simply simply made in the area around the Dachstein mountains. I think they're mostly or all made in Styria. What I don't know is how much of the clothing manufacturing is still done by families and...

    Dachstein Wool Products

    MITTENS: I have some experience with Dachstein wool mittens. My first two pairs were purchased from Climb High, and were the legendary, super-dense, felted wool. I am not sure which brand Climb High imported. Later, I picked up a pair or two from another defunct seller, Sweaters International...

    The status of blazing?

    In my circles, including the Adk. 46er Trail Crew, people definitely use "Van Hoevenberg Trail" or an abbreviation.

    The status of blazing?

    All I know is that the Adams Slide Trail needs to be re-blazed. There's one section where it seems just about everbody loses the trail.

    Sierras Worst Nightmare!

    It sounds like your colleagues and you did exactly the right thing. The regret should be that he was billed at all.

    USFS Campsites on Cherry Mountain Road

    I've seen simple fire pits, but I don't believe that I've ever seen outhouses at the dispersed campsites in the White Mountain National Forest. That said, it's been some time since I've stayed at one. I have have seen picnic tables and outhouses at some dispersed campsites in Maine (non-National...
