Thanks for your work on this through the years. Keith

I have bought one several months ago. At the price I paid I considered it a throw away, meaning that I have no concerns if I loss or otherwise destroy it while camping/hiking. The only thing I will warn you about is it is a PITA to try to program. I mean it is like they went out of their way to...

One of my first hikes in the whites. Thanks for those pictures. It really brings back some great memories. Keith

Great video. Thanks.

"He was a recipient of the Life Saving award in 2003 after hiking eight miles in high winds, deep snow at night in temperatures reaching -34 degrees to rescue a missing man suffering from hypothermia. " I thought that I should mention this. I saw his passing in the paper and remember him as...

Whenever I use mine, and I do. I always think of it as being a bear pinata. Keith

I would add that many of the lime green vests hi-viz are actually made to be used on the highways and streets per DOT/ANSI regulations. The biggest problem with them in the woods is that many of them contain white. White is a very bad idea out in the woods during deer season. And as repeated...

My dad did something very similar to this but he used a light bulb as a current limiter. They got a shock but it was designed to be and is non-lethal. Keith

Not really a change to the forests in this area that I have noticed. Many of the areas in CT are mixed forest so the squirrels tend to be, while not next to each other, nearby each other. As far as taste. They can be hunted in CT. I have hunted grey squirrels and they are very good. And by good...

Have red squirrels been invading your area? I remember the only place I ever saw red squirrels was in the Adirondacks. Years of observing grey squirrels in CT and we use to never see any reds in CT - none. It wasn't till the 1990's that I think I saw the first one in CT. It was an incredible...

Thanks for the memories. I spent time camping in both the old resolution shelter location and on Stairs. Both are remembered fondly. Nice pictures, thanks again. Keith

Little off topic. I am not sure if it is the lack of water but my wife and I took a short road trip and I spotted three dead turkeys from car strikes and several live ones running around. They must have had an easy winter. There are lots around. Now they might be moving a lot to try to find...

Oh, and let me point out that tripwires are not usually that hard to spot, especially by people that don't really know how to set booby traps. Virtually nothing in nature is linear. It is not unusual to actually see the tripwire which is a linear feature. The trick is less seeing it than...

I have been trained in identifying booby traps in the military and use to lead a lot of patrols and use to spot them with regularity. The funny part was many years after I got out of the service, I have spotted at least three different ones. One in NH, that was actually a people counter the FS...

That looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing pictures of it on the water. Keith

Thanks guys. I guess I'll need to see if they open it when they open the rest. I was thinking that they would open the roads earlier, but not sure if they will. Have been watching their website. Keith

I was actually wondering about that myself. Can Sawyer river road be opened as is? Or is it not drivable in its current condition? Keith

The mice were legendary. I had a roll of toilet paper I left out as community TP. It was absolutely shredded overnight. I also have gone to tents/tarps/hammocks sierra. I stay away from shelters now and have for years. It is my intention to get away from people, not congregate with them when I...

That is the point. Neither are part 15 devices that would need to accept whatever interference it received. Knowing that, Lightsquared would be responsible to fix the problem if they caused it to the GPS service, up to and including turning their equipment off. So knowing that LightSquared would...

There was lots of screaming about the amount of "interference" that would be generated or need to be tolerated long before the FCC accepted lightsquared's application to try this. As I remember NTIA was against it from the beginning and didn't want them to get the permit to try. Thank god it has...
