    Backpacking/Climbing Knives of the 1960s, 70s and 80s?

    I received a red, Swiss Army knife as a wedding present. Still have it. Replaced as a hike-carry with a variety of multitools, including one very large one too heavy to carry in the field. The small, micro-tools all have needle-nosed pliers and I've dequilled my last dog 7x and those of others...

    Looking for a softshell

    Joe, looking to replace my wife's. She doesn't need a super duper one, but a shell that will keep her warm for a few hours out with our dog on the windy golf course.

    Heated Mitts / Gloves Question

    Those dog walks are usually five exposed miles on a windy golf course. 2-3 hours coming from our home. For me heavy duty outer mitts with thick wool liners and chemical hand warmers work.

    Looking for a softshell

    Finding a softshell under $200 has been a challenge. Mountain Hardwear and OR used to make models that fit the bill. Now, they are big bucks or super thin stretchy fabric that are more appropriate as rain gear. Earlier this year I sent my 15 year old Mountain Hardware back under warranty to fix...

    Heated Mitts / Gloves Question

    With cold weather coming, following up to see what people think of the heated gloves/mitts they've used. This is for a family member who will use them for 3 hours at a time out in the open on dog walks. Regular mitts with handwarmers so far still leave the Raynauds fingers less than ideal...

    Any folks heading down to Lexington Saturday?

    MIssed the last two due to covid. Was planning to be at this one and came down sick two days before. Always a wonderful time seeing people from here and elsewhere.

    NE111 Roster, patches and decals

    Completer #142, Camel's Hump October '85. At that time finishers received a nice, spiral-bound roster with names, peaks and finisher number. In the back, a section with each finisher's 'biography' and a separate section for winter finishers. Albert Robertson was in charge at the time and he sent...

    AMC is paying for promotion on Google

    I was an ADK committee chair. Over my tenure, the membership list was closely held to avoid members feeling their information was being shared. Don't think that has changed.

    Gene Daniel Has Passed Away

    Gene used to comment on my license plate when we hiked together. PEAKBAGR, and we'd laugh as to who got it first. LOL. What a guy.

    What type of contact cement would you recommend under cordura and thin leather patch?

    Braces don't work under socks. Lots of great ideas here, thank you very much.

    Tops of boots above ankles wearing out

    Got the Aquaseal FD and the heavy duty Gorilla tape. Do I apply the Aquaseal. Then Gorilla Tape after it dries? Or Gorilla Tape with Aquaseal on top of it?

    Tops of boots above ankles wearing out

    Alexmtn and JoshandBaron, thanks for some great ideas. After looking at both, going to try the Aquaseal FD.

    Tops of boots above ankles wearing out

    After a few months, the padded fabric shreds, exposing the white padding. Lots of good ideas here, just ordered the heavy duty version of the Gorilla tape. Was hoping there was some liquid I could apply to the tops. Don't want to cut collars and just leave a gaping gapped-edge if possible.

    Tops of boots above ankles wearing out

    My semi-soft ankle braces wear out the soft padding around the tops of my hiking boots. After a few months the covering is worn and torn. Any suggestions for something I can put on the tops of the boot ankles to avoid the destruction? Something that won't ruin the ankle braces? Thanks
