The AMR parking lot is large with no capacity problem this time of year. Open 24/7. It is plowed in winter, but being private property it may not always be cleared till they get around to it.

The $8 plan only allows sending prewritten (check in, aka preset) messages, not typed messages.

It is going to be tough in that price range these days. I have a Mammut softshell which is the predecessor of the current model with Gore Infinium fabric (previously it was called Windstopper). Men’s Ultimate VII SO Hooded jacket.

Martens are common in the Adirondack High Peaks and skillful at raiding packs and lean-tos. Some have become bold and hang out at popular intersections.

He survived because of phone contact and rapid response by Forest Rangers. https://dailygazette.com/2022/12/02/new-details-in-lead-up-to-schenectady-19-year-olds-rescue-from-adirondacks-algonquin-peak-dec-cites-lessons/

The Scree 32 has been my standard winter pack for at least three years. No problem with durability. Comfort is good with the weight mainly on the lower back pad rather than the hip belt.

I think that rascal Putin has something to do with it.

The rep is incorrect. Delamination is a chemical degradation of the polymer. It is not “wear and tear”, especially on the interior of the fabric. I had this happen several years ago on an Osprey pack. They gave me a new one.

Mike, take a look at the LaSportiva TX3 (fabric upper) or TX4 (leather upper) approach shoes. I left the Raptors because of poor upper durability and poor wet traction with the Ultras. The TX series have similar fit and great full lacing. Two years and they are holding up well. Wet traction on...

I have ordered a new W10 computer and soon will be getting a taste of my own medicine, hoping I can get Mapsource and TOPO! running again. What Alan is saying is that the gpx file saved in the computer can be opened under the ‘handhelds’ menu in TOPO!. I still prefer Mapsource as a simple file...

You should not have a parking problem except on busy summer or holiday weekends. It is the overflow parking for the Garden lot. I assume you have researched the ascent. I tell people it is like climbing Mt Marcy in half the distance. Blueberry alone is a 2000 ft climb in 2.3 miles. The trail...

Thanks all, for your comments and discussion. I noticed last night and confirmed today that the cause of the noise and concomitant increase in ascent/descent was having the unit plugged into USB power. It does not occur when under battery power. I also connected the USB cord to the iPhone...

This is a good example of how smartphone technology has surpassed purpose-built GPS receivers (maybe newer GPS models do this; I don't know). You didn't say what make/model you were using. I repeated your experiment with my iPhone 5S (2 years old) with GPS (location services) on and cellular off...

The choices of pressure units are In Hg (inches of mercury, often used in the U.S.), millibars, or Hectopascals. Electronic barometers can measure very small changes in pressure and convert the pressure to altitude by a standard calculation. See...

I borrowed a Garmin GPSMAP 60 CSx with barometric altimeter from a friend, intending to do some hiking comparisons of iPhone apps (Gaia GPS and Motion X) which run on GPS altitude (no barometric sensor). With the Garmin on my desk under USB power with GPS off, I noticed that the ascent/descent...

The main cause of rusting of footwear (traction and snowshoes) is walking in road salt. Take them off earlier and you won't have a problem.

I used a SPOT Connect (discontinued model, used a smartphone as user interface) for about three years, or should I say tried to use. My wife was not interested in looking at a track on a web page so I sent messages periodically (which were prewritten and selected on the phone, or typed and...
