What's the most comfortable and cushy sleeping pad out there? I don't care how heavy or bulky it is, so long as it fits in a pack. I've searched the threads and I haven't found what I'm looking for . . . I apologize if this has already been covered in another thread. I sleep on my side, and...

http://hplusmagazine.com/articles/enhanced/my-new-sense-organ From the link: "My new sensory organ is a small anklet strap with a LiPo battery and circuit board attached to an electronic compass on the anklet’s side. Inside the strap are eight small buzzers, up against my skin. As I sit here...

Date of Hike: Sunday, August 23rd Trail Conditions: Muddy (not surprising considering the rain on Friday, Saturday, and today!). There were a couple of blowdowns, one old, another more recent. The upper sections of the trail need to be brushed out. Otherwise, the trail is in good shape...

We went for a short father-daughter hike this morning, on a small hill nearby. I think it's named "Indian Ridge," and it's a nice hike if you're in the Hanover area and looking for an easy, less-traveled trail for kids (Google Maps link). (You can access the trail from Dartmouth Hitchcock...

Anybody been on Garfield Ridge between Garfield and Lafayette within the last couple of weeks? I've been checking the reports, but I haven't seen any posts with info for that stretch of the ridge. I missed a planned trail maintenance trip on memorial day because the trail was still buried in...

Was the old Garfield Shelter on the pond side of the Garfield Ridge Trail or on the opposite (south) side of the trail?

Anybody know where to get tools for trail work? I've found stuff online, but I would rather buy locally if it's possible. I live near Hanover NH, so I'm looking for something nearby, or at least within a reasonable radius.

Any recommendations for pants to wear while doing trail work? I have a pair of Carhartts that I wear for yardwork, etc., but they're cotton. I'm attending the basic trail maintenance skills session tomorrow at Pinkham, and the forecast is calling for rain. Those Carhartts get very heavy and...

I recently bought a Garmin Etrex, and I'm looking for a cable to connect with my pc. Garmin sells one, but it is a bit overpriced for a simple cable. I checked Bestbuy, Radioshack, and Newegg, and there doesn't seem to be a non-Garmin cable available. Did Garmin design some sort of funky...
