One of my favorite places to visit in the Adirondacks. It is a good spot to introduce people to the park with it’s mix of natural and human history. Once you leave the road and the area around the camp it seems that it does not see that much traffic. I have never encountered anyone at either...

Yes it works. It truly is a lifesaver. I fortunately did not have to learn this first hand but was able to benefit from the experience of a friend from another agency. He was a victim of a friendly fire accident during the exectution of a search warrant of a drug house. His team used Quick...

A recent one that was just a good story and hard to put down? I would offer a different telling of the race to the South Pole Scott and Amundsen (since released under title The Last Place on Earth) by Roland Huntford. It demystifies Scott and shows the skill and planning that went into...

Were they the "Flash" we had two pair. My wife's have held up well, mine lasted one season. I took them back to the EMS in Buffalo with the receipt, the best they offered was 50% off my next pair. I was disappointed in that response and choose to purchase their replacements some where else.

I was never impressed with the sites along Floowdood Rd. They seemed somewhat over used but it has been 10 years since I have been driven down there and I never looked at them that closely. If free is what you are looking for I think the sites along Rt 421 leading to the put in for the Bog...

"In the 2008 hunting season, only 2 dear were taken in the Moose River Plains." That certainly would not be for the lack of trying. I stayed at Wakely Dam this past November for a couple of night while we did some of the firepower’s in the area. There were many hunters staying there as well as...

Rollins Pond is a perfect choice for you. The options for day trips are limitless providing, something for just about everyone. A nice leisurely trip is the loop through Floodwood Cooperas, and Whey. If you stay at Rollins you need to be on the water that is what makes it so appealing. Look...

My son is deployed to Iraq and speaks favorable of the fleece. It has been getting very cold at night and these are working well for him. He gave me a pair of the gloves to try and I was pleasantly surprised. The gear he was issued during training was not nearly as good as that which he had...

I am struck by the length of the articles in the early issues compared to what I see today they are much more detailed. One that caught my eye was this http://books.google.com/books?id=_98DAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_v2_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=&f=false Anne Labastille's...

In re reading some of the earlier post I see numerous mentions of South, and Endurance both of which tell the story of Shackelton’s experience trapped on the ice. Both are great books about an amazing feat. I always thought that his actions on this expedition would serve as a good example...
