ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! The worst thing is that on a topo the trail looks flat. Evil, evil trail.

Hope you notified the phone company. If not, you ought to do it immediately.

Read the next to the last paragraph (with the two asterisks) in the post above yours.

The way we Live Free in NH is by fining people from Mass, VT, NY, CT etc.

My property taxes are high and i'd rather they didn't go much higher. I truly appreciate the fines paid. Thanks. Every...

Well, this is the attitude of those yahoos on the trail. The two hikers had to jump into the woods to avoid being hit, and their complaints are met with one guy saying "don't be upset, it wasn't...

I have had good luck at any number of trailheads over the years leaving a bike. I just go down 50 or a hundred yards from the trailhead and walk it into the woods out of sight and lock it to a tree....

Ted's Trail is one of my favorites, but unfortunately I already have plans for tomorrow. Have a great hike.

I tend to disagree. Not that there aren't differences, but that the differences are general in nature.

You can say that in general men and women are different, but we are talking about specific...

I don't think there is an answer as to why. I used to love hiking and camping solo. Now I much prefer a hiking companion (though also still go solo sometimes), and dislike solo camping. So I took the...

Good idea.

Also, you don't have to untie it at all. Tie the tautline hitch through the tent tie-off, and just have a loop to attach to tent peg. The linem with the hitch, stays attached to teh...

I understand risk/benefit analysis. I understand the risks of having leg-hold traps in the woods. I just don't see the benefit to it.

But in your above post, I now see that you are comparing the...

The dog died. Hard to over-emphasize that

Risk: someone's pet gets maimed or killed in front of their owner.

Benefit: Ummm. Let me think about this one for a while...

The difference between an epic adventure and a tragedy is, if you survive, it was an epic adventure.

Pleasure. (I ain't heavy, I'm your brother.)

Take care, man. Happy trails

Quite damp. I started the hike with him, but left him (and Dave, Greg and Justin) at the first bog north of Silver Lake Leanto. It was flooded and I foresaw ten days of that. I realized it would be...

I was thinking of that little gas station on the corner of 28 and 30. It has a small grocery supply with some Lipton's meals, mac-cheese, oatmeal, jerky, and stuff like that. I had thought it to be a...

Two and a half days from the southern end, you hit Piseco. About two hundred yards from the trail (go straight rather than take a right after the Post Office) is the Irondequoit Inn. Very reasonable...

Don't wait for her to buy something. Be proactive. Any time she admires something, anything, any article of clothing, tell her she should get it. If she confesses that she spent a little much at the...

Again, it depends on what you want to do. Long days, high miles, lots of elevation gain... if you like that, not that I do, but if that is your goal, then a heavy day pack will interfere with your...

Quite a trip. When Doug told me about it, I figured he would be beat, but on Friday I had a hard time keep up with him on the way to Silver lake.

Glad to help. Though consider that if you lay off the bong then maybe you will be able to tell the difference when weight is removed from your pack. Or not.

I still don't see what the problem is,...

Youi have this all wrong. Ultralight is not a marketing coup. Ultralight was started by hikers making theri own gear and selling it out of their garage and on the internet.

Big companies did not...

I have a hard time buying this argument. We're talking twenty bucks a year.

If you only hike twenty times in a year, it is the cost of a snickers or granola bar each hike, less than a coffee on...

Thanks, this is great help!

Does anyone here have experience with PLBs? Especially as they relate to law enforcement? I am trying to incorporate use of one into a novel and need some personal experience.

Specifically,
