    Old school VFTT

    Wow! I even remembered my password. I’ll have to searching for some photos! I think I started on VFTT around 2004 and started joining group events in 2005. Lots of friends because of “Views”!

    For those with torn knee meniscus

    I tried to sign up for this meniscus research project. I had arthroscopic surgery on my left knee medial meniscus many years ago. I went to the initial appointment for the project back in January and the Physician's Assistant that saw me took one look at my knee x-rays and said that I had too...

    New Hampshire self-arrest practice

    I'd agree with practicing on the lower portion of Willey Slide, below the technical ice but above the railroad tracks. That's were I learned.

    DSLR Lens preference?

    I use my 18-55mm kit lens most often with my Canon XSi when hiking. Usually that's the only lens I bring with me. If I want a longer lens I will bring my 28-135mm or if I need to go really wide I will bring my 10-22mm lens. It's not often that I will bring more than 2 lenses with me. I do...

    What is your plan/gear for surviving and unplanned sub sero night in the woods?

    I prefer to have good route finding skills along with map, compass and gps so that I don't lose my way. Additionally, enough extra clothes for the conditions including a down parka and a bivy bag. Firestarter, extra food as well as proper footwear including traction, ice axe if needed. I've...

    Pinkham (PNVC) today.....looked like rescue practice of some kind?

    My son and I were climbing Left Gully in Tuckerman Ravine yesterday and we saw the Army chopper circling overhead. They were flying around for quite a while. We assumed there was some kind of rescue going on. Glad this hiker is OK.

    NH Hikesafe Card in NH House study committee

    I've read pretty much this entire 4+ page discussion. Very interesting. While it is a bit more expensive than this HikeSafe card being discussed, I'm a member of the American Alpine Club. It's an organization I want to support and it comes with rescue insurance as a benefit, so I'm not...

    Sounds like you made the best out of some wet weather. Crag Camp is a great place to get out of the storm. Glad you enjoyed your first trip to the Whites.

    New smaller Canon

    Doug, Thanks for clarifying but I think you miss understood my intent. My point was that I would be interested in the SL1 because it is a dslr but is still very small. I wouldn't have to choose between a small point and shoot and a large dslr. Best of both worlds (although there is always a...

    Trip Planning/Suggestions for Mount Katahdin

    I highly recommend planning for two full days in BSP. Give yourself a better chance for good weather for Katahdin and there are lots of other hikes and paddles to do.

    Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail

    Based on my experience in previous years I would think that there is still a far amount of ice and snow on the Ammo trail right now. Another couple of weeks would be generally clear but I might still bring microspikes until after the first week in June.

    New smaller Canon

    I was reading about the SL1 and thinking I might take a look at it for hikes and climbs when I want small size but would still prefer a dslr. I already have a few light weight Canon lenses that would work well with it. First I have to get the other camera on my wish list and it's a bit larger...

    Winter Baxter Expedition Advice

    As Bob suggests, use a large dry bag to have water in the hut and filter from the bag. You can get water out of Chimney Pond. Bring plenty of beer in cans.

    LT question: parking at the south end of Smuggler's Notch to Duxbury Rd

    To answer "B the Hiker" 's original question - there is a small parking lot about 3+ miles down Duxbury Road as the Long Trail emerges from the north side of Camel's Hump. I was just there on October 5th. The road walk along Duxbury Road is fairly easy as well as we hiked it the following day...
