cool tool, i just gave my first ever review point :D

Wow!! I can't say it any better than all who have responded before me have. I am in awe of all who have made this physical and mental journey and can't imagine how any of you can see this journey into self discovery as anything other than a success. You have all taken on a great challenges...

I mostly day hike the Catskills and almost always solo. I carry my cell phone as I do any other piece of emergency equipment. My emergency equipment may not cover every situation, lets face it, a bandaid is usless for a broken leg, but is their to cover the appropriate situations. So to is my...

It's not the obviouse case that will be questioned, it is the borderline one that will cause the trouble. If its a board of rescuers, then their bias will influence the decision one way, if its a board of hikers, their bias will influence the decision a different way. A solution may be a joint...

Well, now I know whose name to put on my donation!! Happy hiking everyone, wish I could have joined this year. Steve

Regrets Jay, looks like the hiking gods are against me this year and I will have to miss this years mega hike. Good luck to all who hike (and everyone else too) and watch out for wayward rangers and lightening storms. Steve

What he said Whether I make the hike or not, I will donate through the hike. It is an awsome thing you do to support this association, my hat is off to you.

toes need to breath Nope, never let the ends of the tape touch each other, that would not be good for the circulation :eek: . But I find anchoring the ends on the top of the ankle stops the tape from slipping. :D

Hey guys, a little early for me to plan, but so far the date looks good and the back/hip seem to have healed. I'll be camping at one of the hotels both nights again and can be bribed to loan the shower for, oh, let's say, one beer per shower :rolleyes:

After a very injury pleagued summer and fall of hiking, I am looking foward to a fresh start next year. This hike sounds like a perfect way to do it. Besides, what's life without goals. Jay, you are a man amongst men for leading this up again this year. I know there is one weekend I am...

That's funny, When I lived attended Syracuse University, we used to drive to Canada to by beer. 2 case per person maximum. I remember crossing the border by Watertown in white out conditions telling the Canadian border patrol that we were entering Canada 'because we thought it was a nice day...

Warren, I have several doctors as clients. None of them would fit the what you are looking for, bu they may know of a GP who would. Over the next few weeks, I will make inquiries and let you know if I find anyone. Steve

Seema, sounds like an incredible adventure you are having. Keep your spirits up when rolling with the unexpected and ENJOY!! Steve

I make occasional small talk, which may be considered strange by some since I usually hike alone :cool:

A pessimistic opinion While I like the idea and think it would very beneficial to VFTT'rs, I hate to point out the potential legal issues and liabilities this could present for Darren and the site. While I would never anticipate any of the regulars causing an issue, once that portion of the...
