Hey hey, I need you guys again. Always a great source of info here. I'm planning a trip back home sometime this summer, and I was sort of creating a trip in my head, only I have no idea where to start. I want to try out fishing some remote ponds/streams while on a backpacking trip. Now the...

Well friends, its been a while since I have been around, and it feels good to scroll through these threads. Anyways, I have this idea of what I want to do, but im not sure where to go. I moved back home to CT from Oregon about a year ago, but im scheduled to move out of New England once again...

Anyone been in the area recently? Lots of snow? I read some condition reports, and was just wondering what kind of base there was up there. After friday, i wonder if it would be skiable? I doubt it, but the way things are going this year, it looks like ill be able to ski it soon. I might be...

I was wondering if anyone had any information or background as to why logger boots are built the way they are. I was planning on getting a pair for some of the maintenance type work I do around here, but not really for hiking. Since i have been appyling for positions on wildland fire crews, i...

I am about to buy a German Shepherd puppy soon, and i understand that the oil can be transferred from the coat of a dog to a human. Since i most definately am allergic to poison ivy, i was wondering if there was any proactive measures i could take to keep the oil off my dog, or perhaps take it...

Well, I intend on keeping this post succinct, but it should not be too hard because I wont be able to remember everything anyways. This past week Carter and I were on vacation, and we headed up to Keene Valley to stay in his NON-winterized house and get some winter recreation in. On the way...

My good freind and hiking partner co-owns a nice house in Keene Valley, that is fully equipped sans heat. So we decided to come up for the weekend and have a little luxury base to hike from. We brought steaks and ribs, as well as soup, hot cocoa, i made some birch tea, we also had cereal...

I am going to be staying with my good freind/hiking partner and excellent cook at his "rustic" cabin this weekend in Keene Valley New York. We will be leaving around 1 oclock on friday afternoon (right after marine science :cool: ), and will be there until Sunday morning (i have to work back...

Ok, first of all, if this is off topic than go ahead and zap it bagr, i promise i won't cry :( I am planning on getting into climbing, because i would like to try ice and mixed climbing. So i ran across these instructions on how to build a bouldering wall. I saw the link on EMS' website on...

Just recently i have gotten the bug to find some more cool stuff hidden in the northeast. David Metsky is probably the one to thank since his Moosilauke report with the B-18 crash refrence and subsequent explanation got me going. Since then, i have looked into a couple of ghost towns in VT...

Well, im officially going nuts trying to find a trail map (any at all) of mt. mansfield on the internet. Since i wanted to go up soon, could anyone give me a quick peep by scanning the mt. mansfield region of their map for my use? I would appreciate it kindly. I wanted to try out hell's brook...

Well i dont know if this is legal or not, i guess ill figure it out if i come home and the thread is deleted lol. My dad has business in Cairo and for while now i have been tagging along with him wherever he goes and i get the royal business class treatment plus i get to go to some pretty cool...

Im not sure if this is in the right forum, or if it is even allowed anymore, but i have seen posts of this nature before. Hopefully we dont get any more incredibly dramatic footage of helicopters falling from the sky like last year but with the way rescues are going, it may happen again...

Anyone have this? I tried it on in EMS the other day, and i am enchanted. It is so light, yet just the right size. I really am thinking about getting it, because it is the perfect size that i need, and i can stuff it into my big pack. I would like it because i could put it in my 7000ci pack...

Someone at my school had suggested that there was supposed to be a large storm coming through sunday night. While i have found nothing of the sort, it intrigued me. Against our (my freinds at school and me) better judgement, we want to go ski greylock on that day, but only if it snows. After...

I decided a while back that i dont enjoy being uncomfortable, and so i started wearing my hiking clothes basically everywhere. One thing i noticed was when i washed and dried them, they would come out smelling less than washed. I basically would wear them anyways, and after a day it would no...
