I came across this while looking for insulation for my hammock, Insultex. Is anyone familiar with it or has it been discussed before? Let me rephrase that a bit...single sheet of 3/32 low density foam polyethylene, also known as Insultex or IX for short.;)

I've ordered a new camping hammock and wish to give it a test sleep this weekend while doing Blake & Colvin. Is there a camp sit in Elk Pass with water near by? Am I still in the Eastern High Peaks as far as Bear cans & fires are concerned? Thanks Rickie

Do we have an exclusive section or sticky a new hiker could go to so they can start out better prepared. We pontificate on lost and injured hikers all the time. Lets do them a service and consolidate our best thoughts and then lock or sticky the thread. Who wants to add to this thread?

Iroquois via Algonquin 6/16/2012 This report isn't filled with: record speeds, distances and danger, it's just about the challange of an old fat guy struggling for his 27 ADK peak. This was one of my most difficult climbs. The most difficult was my first attempt for Iroquois and my third...

FYI Dream Farmer & myself are staying at the ADK Loj the 15th & 16th of June and are taking a crack at Iroquois again. Last time the weather was too bad on top of Algonquin to push on to Iroquois. This is a social hike, I'm older, fatter and slower than ever before but it's still big fun...

I guess I put this in the wrong place and people couldn't respond...:o Retiring to Maine? Where would be a nice place to retire to in Maine? Not to big, not economically depressed, where I can enjoy the woods and open water? Quiet and low key is a priority. Don't mind a short commute to...
