I'm debating whether to try this hike this weekend. I really want to get some scenic shots of the Hudson River and while I've floated by Kettle Mountain numerous times now, I haven't been up there yet. Has anyone ever done this before? What kind of recon can you offer? Thanks a bunch!

I just purchased a Primus Micron stove. In the instructions, it says it's to be used exlusively with Primus gas canisters. Is this true or just some marketing nonsense? I test fitted it onto MSR's canisters and it seemed to fit fine over the threads. The only concern I noticed was that the...

What temperature-rated sleeping bag would be great for the Daks during the normal 3 seasons of hiking? I'm currently looking at a down-filled 30 degree bag for $100 and am curious whether this is a good deal. It weighs 2 lb 14 oz and packs down to 8 x 14. If this doesn't fit good...

Can anyone please tell me if there's a name to this place. It's the the barn along Rte. 73, where it joins up with 9N just north of Marcy Airport. Thank you very much!

It looks like the club is doing a hike to Macomb, S. Dix, Hough, & Dix. I don't have my topo around and was wondering what to expect, how much water to bring, and how much climbing there will be after the initial ascent. Basically, I just want to make sure I don't get in over my head and hold...

While I've done a bit of summer hikes in the ADK's, I'm new to the winter experience. I keep seeing requirements for crampons and snowshoes and was wondering for clarity and safety's sake, just what that meant. I have a pair of snowshoes with crampons on the base (at least that's what the...
