hey everyone, I am headed up to the Pemi this weekend and was wondering what the bug levels are like. Close to none around Monadnock last weekend so I have my fingers crossed.

hello, I was wondering if anyone has heard or seen any signs of theft activity for this parking area. My wife and I are planning an overnight trip in the area but just wanted to see if anyone heard anything. Thanks. -Jonathan

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here has ever attempted a late April Pemi Traverse? What are peoples initial impressions of this? Depending on snow levels it seems snowshoes and microspikes would be mandatory. Any and all thoughts/comments are much appreciated. Thanks -Jonathan

Sat 27th Nasty conditions out with temp's in the mid 30's and rain for most of the hike, but a great day out. Main trail up to Rollin's is well broken out but snowshoes helped from sinking into the rain soaked snow. The ridge to Whiteface has been well traveled and def requires snowshoes...

I have looked through the WMNF rules on fires and whatnot and I understand and agree with their fire policies, but I am wondering what their policy on small non-scaring wood stoves are? Does anyone know?

Has anyone seen or heard anything about any car break-in’s at Appalachia lately? It really is a shame to have to factor this into where you decide to hike… Thanks guys

I was wondering if anyone has ever had a very unsuccessful season. I swear not a single climb that I have attempted this winter has worked. From turning back b/c of a broken pack to impassable waist deep snow near Adams to winds that almost blew me off Lafayette the same Saturday that guy got...

Hello, From fly fishing to mountaineering. As you can see my posts are all over the place. I have plans for a winter prezzie traverse this year and have planned on doing it in 2 days. I have been training very solidly for the past 6 months so I know my body is ready for it. When posting on...

So I have just taken up fly fishing as it is somthing that has always intregued me. I know abolutely nothing about it so I am learning from the ground up. Does anyone here fly fish in the Whites? I am not looking for secret spots or anything but I did not know if people do this, if you need...

Hello, After 3 tries at a 1 day Pemi Traverse this past summer I came to the realization that I need to train solidly for at least 15-16 weeks to feel confident enough to complete it. One of my attempts ended in the dark after about 28 miles (walked back by 13 Falls down Wilderness Tr) and 2...

Hello, Does anyone have an experience with either the Montrail Vitesse or Continental Divides? I currently sport a pair of Hardrocks and they are amazing, but I have heard that both of these shoes are a few notches better.

Hello, I have been given the oppotunity to goto Peru next year and join a three day trek through the Andes. I was wondering if anyone here has ever been to the area? My main concern obviously is safty. Going onto the state departments website of course they let you in on all of the bad stuff...

Hello, I am planning a road trip through NY in early October and I was thinking I would spend a few nights up in the mtns. Does anyone have any information on huts in the area. Along with that, any suggestions for hikes. My girlfreind and I are always up for a challange, so are there any...

I have signed on to do a 2 day one night dogsledding trip up in Maine this February. While I have a good amount of Whites winter experience, I am thinking that dog sledding will be a totally different. I know that there are brief sections where you step off and run with the dogs, but I am...

I am doing a 1 day Pemi traverse this weekend with a buddy. We have been training for it for some time now but we are still hemming and hawing on the route. Is it recommended to start up Bondcliff and come around Franconia ridge and down Osseo or the other way around. The way I see it they...

Has anyone ever done the Midstate Trail all at once? I have been running around on it for years and this summer I am thinking about taking a three day weekend and do a supported “Thu Hike” (if you want to call it that for a 90 mile trail). I live in the area so I am thinking if I have car...

Hey all, Curious as to people’s opinions on lightweight summer layers. For the past couple of years I have used REI Tech tees and Pataguch lightweights as my primary layers from spring through fall. This past winter I fully converted to wool with its superior comfort and smell properties which...

Does anyone have any experience with this climb? If so, what kind of climb is it? Thanks

Last summer I did a complete transformation to hiking full time in trail runners. After a Pemi traverse last April I had never felt so much pain in all parts of my legs so I threw the clunky boots in the closet and never looked back. Now I know everyone is still in winter mode, but I have an...

Anyone ever used one of those ice axe attachments for trekking poles? Last time up Washington crawling up deep drifts on Lions Head I felt like I understood the benefit. Anyone have any experience with one?
