I've used permetherin products for some time now with excellent results....usually on a hat works great for the buzzing critters. As DougPaul mentioned use it only on clothing....(I think it only bonds to fibers)

PUR (Katadyn) Hiker...always in my pack. Had it for at least 6 years, way before Katadyn took over... never had a problem in winter or summer, just make sure you purge the unit before stowing...turn it over and pump out the water,(or disassemble and drain) spin the tubes around a few times over...

Don't forget that the pole reversal will mean that mag N will become mag S...so you'll have to compensate for such..... :p

The interactive map.... ;) You found it!! Great! Some of the stations I go to are on that map....I provide ground truth data for those stations... Try zooming in on Northwoods Rd, Minerva and see the comparison of actual data and the map data...If your'e into that kind of thing there's all...

I did a snow survey on Monday out "west"...Sagamore Rd had 15", with the rest of the area having about 18" or so...that was before the rain.. Yesterday, my "north" route had about 12 to 14" (Minerva-Newcomb-North Hudson), with 21" at Tahawus....after the rain. hope that helps! Go to the link...

Then all the satellites orbiting above pinging signals to the ground would have to be removed.....or turned off....:p

I guess it's a little quicker through Minerva, I just enjoy the Blue Ridge Rd! ;)

I'd go over the Blue Ridge Rd, but the N'way has some construction and it's "watched" very closley in the work zones..... As far as rain, "scattered" means scattered all over you, most likely when your'e at the farthest point from the trailhead! !!! ;) have a good trek!

I've got a Mountainsmith Bugaboo.....one large compartment, a small inside pocket, outside pocket, internal "stay" and more straps and rings that one could ever imagine...had it for over 10 years and still going strong!
