Actually a fun little sled; I have used it before and I am a bigger guy... It does work best on packed snow but have used it on a variety of hills/snow conditions and it worked well. I took one a number of years back for winter hiking and camping; really light weight, can be used as a shovel to...

Corn meal is a great food option too... in the morning it can be used to make a porridge with dried fruit, seeds & nuts... at dinner use it to thicken some soupy FD meals or make it into a cake; add some cheese cubes & pepperoni, dried tomatoes and saute in your pot; top with grated cheese a...

Classic NPS move... Even on small park levels I have heard enough stories of the biggest screw ups moving up the food chain...

Also check out Ferncliff Forest just 5 minutes from the center of the village... Also the trails in Hyde Park are less then a 1/2 hr away and there are trails in Staatsburg about 15 minutes south of Rhinebeck too... Plenty of options!

It was an interesting 60 Minutes piece last night on this... a little one sided I thought but then again, there are a few things to that seem off.

I wish the NYNJTC would add this little gem to the South Taconic mapset... There are a number of trails up it, some on private land. The Nature Conservancy I think still maintains the land, but they were not receptive to an actual map or blazes. There was a small local group that did a lot of...

Thanks for the heads-up...

Ahhhh my old friend the Chilkoot trail... I am sure Temsco LOVED getting this call, they charged me $1400 for my resuce, they must have salivated! I love that trail all kidding aside...

I love using a GiGi... Does pretty much everything that the R3 & Guide do, but in a smaller foot print. I picked it up a few years ago after learning about it from old friend/Guide in the Gunks.

Thank you to everyone, your thoughts are being passed along to Seth's family...

Seth was a great friend, and the brother of a very close friend. The basic details were they hiked to the Batavia Kill Leanto on Friday night, hiked to the peaks on Saturday. After that no other details are known as of yet except for when they called their 911 calls. Alberto was found last...

Anyone been on BH/BD/TC this weekend? How were the conditions? Did you see anyother parties?

Mountain Crossings in GA is a great shop... I have dealt with them professionally and have had a great experience.

Becareful with SnoSeal, it can gum up leather products... Not a bad idea; but if youhave a Gore-Tex membrane that needs that leather to breathe, guess what? You just wasted money and ruined your boots. Some products like Nikwax's are water based and are designed for breathable footwear. ANd...
