    Accidents

    Rescue Me ( great Supremes song ) If they decide to go to Baxter then it is allways Katahdin. Hey Andrew, that's me. I was coming down hunt trail from Katahdin and at dusk I put my headlamp on and the batteries were dead! I was lucky as the last mile on that trail ( beyond the stream ) was...

    Looking for an aggressive weekend trip

    Why do you get tired?

    Why do you get tired?

    My chest hardly moves when I breath hard. I mostly breathe through my lower lungs, my stomach moves a lot more than my chest. If you just breathe through your chest you're wasting a lot of unused lung area. grog
