    Stabilicers?

    Stabilicers not all good.... Just don't buy the "Sport" model. they are rubber and fit over your boots and look like they would work the same but they slip off the boots on inclines and could lead to a nasty spill :mad: ....I speak thru experience. Boots :)

    stabilicers vs. crampons

    What ever you do DO NOT but the "sport" model stabilicers. Mine slip off my boots especially on the up hills just when you need them the most. I took a nasty spill :( on Cardigan because one came off my boot on an icy slab. They are now in the trash. Crampons would not have been effective as...

    I Am the King of Putting My Foot in My Mouth

    We love... Not hiking but rafting a few years back up on the Penobscott. After every rapid another group would yell out "We love Cheez its"? So we decided to make our mantra "we love beer" (at least we were being honest). Well at the end of the runs there guide whom we had come to know pretty...

    Am I Seeing What I Think I'm Seeing?

    Early fall..... I'm sorry I didn't read it fully but our local paper ran a story about the maple trees being affected by some disease. Like I said I didn't have time to read it all but alot of our local trees are turning brown (not attracive) and the leaves are falling. :(

    Hiking in the Nude

    Nice Boots Me and my buddy were hiking Lafeyette, Lincoln and Little Haystack a few years back. We were up on the ridge and in the distance we could see a lone hiker coming towards us. As he got closer it became apparent that he was naked :eek: unless you count pack, boots and socks. We...

    Hiking with Tripods

    I have carried a "mini pod" (has the velcro as listed above which wokks very well) for a while and although good for a smaller camera it would not hold an slr. I do believe they sell a larger one. I got mine at Camp-mor. I have just recently picked up a "sher lok" walking stick. Not only is it a...

    Slr camera on a winter's hike/climb

    I wouldn't bother buying a new treking pole to get a mono pod unless you need new treking poles. I carry a $9.00 "ultrpod" from campmor. It's a mini tri pod and has a long piece of velco attached. The velcro would easily attatch to you current pole or to a tree to take those timered summit shot...

    Kids are great!

    What a cool post.... I started to hike just last year and my son started as soon as he got here for the summer from his mothers in Wisconsin....flat land. He is the best hiking companion. He has championed on when that is what we wanted and a few weeks ago we hiked for a few hours in hot weather...

    How bad are the Ladders on Willey?

    I did Willey earlier this spring and it is one of my favorites to date but I preffer climbing to hiking up on flat trails if you know what I mean. The timbers on the ladders were in pretty tough shape. On the day we were there we saw a chopper flying low... On the way down we found a piece of...

    I went up Washington today and used shorts, a short sleeve shirt, a mid weight fleece, a rain jacket, a cotton head band, a fleece head band, a base ball hat, a pair of light gloves that I then added liners to. I used almost everything in my pack, you just can't say exactly what you will need...

    Who talks while hiking?

    Some small talk, some talk about the trail and the ocassional D'oooohhhh when something doesn't go rught. Also have a "tradition " of saying "are we there yet...are we there yet....are we there yet" as soon as a boot hits the trail, drives my hiking buddy into hysterics. Boots
