Yes...There actually are places in NH that have the last of its kind. I have spent a good part of my time and effort(along with F&G) towards saving this misunderstood and hated species. This bill would hamper these efforts...

Nice job! I am currently working on one myself. It certainly gives you a good appreciation for just how much work a true snow cave takes to build. Relying on the ability to build one quickly in an emergency is certainly a recipe for disaster. I have built many over the years and it is a learned...

Kristin and I started at 3:40 am and finished 14 hours later. Both of us ended up being awake for about 40 hours straight and managed a 14 hour back country trip at the same time….note to self: get a good nights rest before heading to the mountains. :o The Flume slide trail was packed out...

A friend just sent me this link. http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/2010/08/28/watching-the-sock-market-part-ii-the-reviews/#more-5916 Just so happens I had a 25 dollar EMS gift card given to me today also :rolleyes: So I purchased the top rated pair and can't wait to try them...

To answer your original question....As an professional I clean out my kit and restock with new stuff when ever the expiration date gets close. These replaced items never hit the trash. They go home with me and get tossed into my home med kit for use when needed. The manufactures expiration dates...

BINGO!!!!! We have a winner!!! I have several diferent makes and model stoves many new technology stoves but when push comes to shove and the temps drop my 30 year old SVEA 123 gets the job. I have tried many times to retire it nothing compares to it when really cold.
