    You never know who might be on the trail

    Hmmm.... 2. A cell phone with Vladimir Putin's home phone number in it? Seriously, I'm glad he's hiking. Other times we've had presidents who valued the outdoors our community has really benefited (Think Teddy Roosevelt and the founding of the national park system).

    How to leave bike at trailheads?

    Making me tired just reading your posts I'm just impressed by all of you who have the energy to both hike and ride a bike to get there and back. Kudos.

    Canine Four Thousand Footer Awards

    Just asking... I'm curious about this: is the presumed danger from the cold? I guess they haven't watched the Iditarod, hey? But to be fair, sled dogs spend all their time outside and their coats get remarkably thick. I am not a dog owner and I'm not trying to start a flame here: I'm simply...

    Bears

    Oh boy I couldn't tell from the trailer, but is this guy suggesting that wild animals are really big furry house pets and we should all start hugging black bears?

    Summer Hiking Goals

    Good goal This seems like a good goal to me. I'm not much of a peakbagger but I'm happiest when I'm climbing a mountain ridge.

    Poll: Do you typically carry overnight gear on a winter 4K dayhike?

    Yup Winter, 4K, above treeline ... yes. A broken ankle can happen to anyone at any time. So I pack on the assumption that I might have to spend the night without the heat generated from movement. I pack not to be comfortable, but to survive. So I carry a summer weight down bag and an...

    Skiing Mount Marcy: video

    Wow This was great. I really enjoyed the point-of-view aspect. It almost made me feel like I was skiing through those beautiful woods with you. Of course, I would have hit that tree!

    Product Review: Kahtoola MICROspikes

    One thing that Kahtoola is very good at is standing behind their product. I wonder if the manufacturers of Mil Specs are as good. Did you try contacting the retailer?

    a long time between hikes!

    You Go Girl I'm impressed and inspired by this thread and I wish all the best to Liz in her return to hiking. Setbacks happen to us all and it is motivating to see someone who refuses to give up on something she loves. I'll be thinking of her the next time some obstacle stands between me and...

    White Mountain Parking Fee Changes for 2010

    Well I agree but... I can afford to pay and I do. And I also feel I should pay even if WMNF people are not living up to their end of the bargain at all times with the services they provide, because I am well aware that the government is underfunding them. So my ideal would be that a more...

    Product Review: Kahtoola MICROspikes

    Call me a gearhead but... These things look so cool I just have to order a pair. They will join my little museum of past and present traction devices including: an old heavy pair of camp crampons with a Scottish harness, pairs of instep crampons, stabilicers and microspikes, Grivel step-in...

    My Big Black Boots - A review of my Limmer Standards

    Stiff boots Welcome to VFTT, dirtpig. And thanks for the great review. I've always wondered about Limmers - one hears so much about them - and based on your review I think that they're NOT for me. I had one pair of boots - Raichle mountaineering boots, I think they were - that never did...
