    Remote Backpacking/Fishing Trip

    Anyone ever hear of "Tenkara" setups? A weekend full of googling here at work led me to this pretty interesting get up. Seems cool. Also, thanks for all the info so far. Good leads. http://www.briangreen.net/2011/03/tenkara-perfect-fly-fishing-gear-for.html

    Missing?

    Ego is getting pumped! Haha, well, that makes two of you! No, I really more or less miss Carter. And while we havent become stale and boring, we have left the whole irresponsibility thing behind. Without our adventures...I dont have much to say on VFTT. Although I have plans now to...

    Missing?

    Loong vacation. I lost my hiking partner to college, and thus have lost some of the extra excitement that came with having a good friend to hike and enjoy apres-hike times with. If you knew Carter and I, or saw us at the winter gathering, then you might have noticed that we like to hike fast...

    Which hiking season is your drug of choice?

    mmm....WINTER. i hate the summer. in the winter there are no bugs, plenty of water, no people, a level tent site, and you are always comfortable. plus its really pretty, and you can ice climb and ski.

    Poison Ivy and Dogs

    I am about to buy a German Shepherd puppy soon, and i understand that the oil can be transferred from the coat of a dog to a human. Since i most definately am allergic to poison ivy, i was wondering if there was any proactive measures i could take to keep the oil off my dog, or perhaps take it...
