I have bought one several months ago. At the price I paid I considered it a throw away, meaning that I have no concerns if I loss or otherwise destroy it while camping/hiking. The only thing I will...

One of my first hikes in the whites. Thanks for those pictures. It really brings back some great memories.

Great video. Thanks.

Whenever I use mine, and I do. I always think of it as being a bear pinata.

I would add that many of the lime green vests hi-viz are actually made to be used on the highways and streets per DOT/ANSI regulations. The biggest problem with them in the woods is that many of them...

My dad did something very similar to this but he used a light bulb as a current limiter. They got a shock but it was designed to be and is non-lethal.

Not really a change to the forests in this area that I have noticed. Many of the areas in CT are mixed forest so the squirrels tend to be, while not next to each other, nearby each other.

As far...

Have red squirrels been invading your area? I remember the only place I ever saw red squirrels was in the Adirondacks. Years of observing grey squirrels in CT and we use to never see any reds in CT -...

Thanks for the memories. I spent time camping in both the old resolution shelter location and on Stairs. Both are remembered fondly. Nice pictures, thanks again.

Little off topic. I am not sure if it is the lack of water but my wife and I took a short road trip and I spotted three dead turkeys from car strikes and several live ones running around. They must...

Oh, and let me point out that tripwires are not usually that hard to spot, especially by people that don't really know how to set booby traps. Virtually nothing in nature is linear. It is not unusual...

I have been trained in identifying booby traps in the military and use to lead a lot of patrols and use to spot them with regularity. The funny part was many years after I got out of the service, I...

Thanks guys. I guess I'll need to see if they open it when they open the rest. I was thinking that they would open the roads earlier, but not sure if they will. Have been watching their website.

I was actually wondering about that myself. Can Sawyer river road be opened as is? Or is it not drivable in its current condition?

The mice were legendary. I had a roll of toilet paper I left out as community TP. It was absolutely shredded overnight.

I also have gone to tents/tarps/hammocks sierra. I stay away from shelters...

That is the point. Neither are part 15 devices that would need to accept whatever interference it received. Knowing that, Lightsquared would be responsible to fix the problem if they caused it to the...

There was lots of screaming about the amount of "interference" that would be generated or need to be tolerated long before the FCC accepted lightsquared's application to try this. As I remember NTIA...

Excellent. I haven't been to the Adirondacks avy pass in the winter in a while. Loved the video.

Thanks,
Keith

It goes without saying that we wouldn't have this board if it wasn't for you starting it. Thanks for supporting it for all this time as well as Peakbagr and Dave. And to Tim filling the breach.

Great job Tim. Thanks for the work. It does look great on the iPad.

I know I saw it somewhere, but I misplaced the location. Can I donate through paypal? I would love to donate but I'm usually not...

It was a crappy shelter but, it was the first I ever went to. It had sentimental appeal to me. The box for bathroom activity was as dangerous and as overfilled as anything I had ever seen and water...

Guess where mine is? ;)

Thanks for posting this. It sounds great, looking forward to seeing it.

Just curious. So did the very experienced hikers you know just hunker down and call the feds on their cellphones and wait for rescue? Or did they take out their headlamps, put on their wet weather...
