my problem is: my Kelty internal frame backpack, one of the 2 flat metal bars which run parallel to my spine, has burst through the bottom of the pack. looks like a rather difficult repair job, or time for a new pack. I searched the forums a few times for: "sew, backpack, repair, internal...

almost there for winter NH 4K for Jan 1 - Dec 31 2007 I completed 11 of NH4K Winter. But i don't tend to remember my winter peaks that way (it's Dec 20 something - March something, of course). I did hike a couple mountains in ADK for the first time, and I understand that they are on some...

Death defying feats, bragging rights, peacock feathers first off, sad to hear about someone else's tragedy. every person is someone's child. secondly, there are the simplest of every day lessons to learn, probably already covered: avoid hiking in ovens, drink plenty of water, keep an eye on...
