hey Woo - I used my Bushmaster wood stove camping on Saturday night - I think you're a wood stove guy - it's really a toy to me right now but the thing does get super hot - boiled water (for my cous-cous) right away. The morning coffee burn was a little work but I saved a good pile of tinder - not too bad either.

Have you considered "Sticks with STYX" as a trail name?

Never really thought of STYX. I hike mainly on the weekends and 99% of the time I'm alone so nobody has "given" me a trail name. I had a hard time with a username for Whiteblaze. Every one I wanted was already taken.

I met a thru hiker in Tennessee (SOBO) who was freezing his package off due to the fact that all his gear was home-made Ray-Way stuff which has its limits. His name was Godzilla - - he couldn't sleep at night because it was too cold (this was early Nov. '08) - over the last few weeks he had adoped a method of keeping warm by hiking from 7pm till about 7am and sleeping all day long - - he was tiring of this. A good thru-hiker friend vouched for him and when I got to my car which was only about 10 miles away, I gave him a Western Mountaineering Down Bag - a 15 degree bag, I think but it was WAY better than what he had. He finished his thru about 3 weeks later and sent it back to me.

I met a thru hiker in Tennessee (SOBO) who was freezing his package off due to the fact that all his gear was home-made Ray-Way stuff which has its limits. His name was Godzilla - - he couldn't sleep at night because it was too cold (this was early Nov. '08) - over the last few weeks he had adoped a method of keeping warm by hiking from 7pm till about 7am and sleeping all day long - - he was tiring of this. A good thru-hiker friend vouched for him and when I got to my car which was only about 10 miles away, I gave him a Western Mountaineering Down Bag - a 15 degree bag, I think but it was WAY better than what he had. He finished his thru about 3 weeks later and sent it back to me.

Papa D, that is a great story. I am glad you were there for him when he really needed it!

Thanks - Godzilla was / is a good guy - - I heard lately that he's into a shipbuilding guild or something in Maine. He was totally a make-your-own gear person which I really like and think is great. The problem is that you have to temper that posture with the reality of a thru-hike in a cold November of wet snow in the smokies - - his stuff just wasn't holding up - - it was a treat to me to help him - - gave me a chip in the game and someone to pull for so to speak. thanks agian.

I got released from Jury duty today. I have to work tomorrow and then I am free for a week. I can't decide between doing a loop in Grayson, AT in the Smokies or making my way up to Shenandoah and hiking from Rockfish North for five or six days. Time for a café poll.

Hey! Thought I'd pop into the cafe, been busy. My wife finally caved on having me get snowshoes, and of course the snow promptly melted, and refroze, and melted, and refroze. (And because I have snowshoes, we have a guarantee that it will not snow for the rest of the winter.)

I finally managed to get out for just a few hours yesterday and found the trails like this:

Icefall on the Plotter Kill (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ke9tv/8406343900/) by ke9tv (http://www.flickr.com/people/ke9tv/), on Flickr

Microspikes all the way, and my hamstrings and groin muscles were bitching today from stamping to set the spikes on that hard ice. And I got a snag in the seat of my favorite pants while glissading (with spikes off - I know better than to glissade while pointy). Still, as HB says, it's all good.

So how's the rest of the gang doing? Getting out any? Any good winter pictures to show around?

I have not looked yet at the maps, but the forcast for the northeast is snow. So the more north you go............like I said I haven't looked at the maps of weather. I don't know what the conditions at SNP, it is 12* and the wind is stiff, here on LI sound. It is forcast to be that way till it snows .
