    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    The internet is a wonderful place, you can sit in the comfort of your home and run your mouth with little or no consequence. See you on the trails *******.

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    I wasn't going to respond to you, but I changed my mind. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but disingenuous I am not. I might have misread his intention, and I admitted that in my response to him. I have been a member here for 20 years and have spent more than my share of time in the...

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    Maybe I didn't understand your point the way you intended, online forums can lead to poor communication verses face to face conversations. No sense beating a dead horse. I guess whether or not the waste problem would be better or worse without the various places to go, is something we just will...

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    Well there you go. I had no idea toilet paper was referred to as "flowers".

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    He clearly states that without the Cog flowers would be growing in place of the tracks, hence the Cog is a bad thing. While he sings the praise of the AMCs capacity to consolidate human waste. You really can't see that in his post?

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    You probably don't even realize how partisan your post is. Spilt waste from the AMC, no problem, the Cog, plant killers.

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    I appreciate that the huts got you and your family outside, but to say you never would have gone outside without them is not the best argument. I grew up camping in the Whites with my family in tents, so it is possible to be outside without having a hut available. The back and forth on the...

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    If the huts were not there, there would not be a need to helicopter out barrels of human waste. A few years ago, the barrels left outside Madison hut leaked fecal matter for sometime before they were able to get them out of there. I find it interesting that the AMC supporters have zero issue...

    AMC Action Plan for 2025-30

    I have never joined the AMC, never saw the benefit. I've run into their groups out hiking and I have been into the huts for water and to look around. The organization is anything but diverse if you ask me, it's mostly affluent white people from Boston, hence a member of this group mentioning...

    REI axes 400+ jobs in outdoors trips and education

    Retail stores are bleeding, and it will likely only get worse. I decided to get my dog a jacket, REI carries a brand I like. I stopped by as it's near my house, nothing but small sizes, very few hiking dogs wear small. I drove home, called up my Amazon app, jacket is on the way

    VFTT group hike?

    The idea doesn't seem to be popular here, but if you want to join me and my dog on a hike, I would be glad to go over anything you want to know in regard to hiking. We primarily hike the 52wav peaks. pm me here.

    Actually, that's exactly what I was thinking about, didn't know that what they called it. Thanks.

    I thought about adding a winch, seems like a good option. Can you describe or tell what kind you went with?

    Mt. Moosilauke via Glencliff Trail - December 27, 2024

    I have always thought the same thing about his videos. As a soloist, I set up my camera for pictures, but a video is way more time consuming.

    Other list finishers 2024, Part II

    "NH 48 after the age of 80". That is just incredible when you think of some of the peaks involved. I mean go into a few nursing homes and line up 10 80-year-olds and ask them to raise their hand if they can hike to West bond, you would be lucky to see any hands raised. I'm 61 years old, and I...

    I never said it was a consideration; I go out of cell range on many hikes.

    Success Pond Rd. in Winter

    I recently finished a hike and casually backed out of the small lot and next thing I knew I was in a ditch. There was no way I was driving out. I checked my cell, no signal. I put my boots back on, shouldered my pack and told my dog we were not done hiking. He was not pleased, but off we went to...

    I would love to grab that in the winter. Me and my dog will ride shotgun in your truck if you want company. :cool: I have heard it gets plowed, not sure how well or often.
