I stopped by the Doyle saturday on the second day of a 3 day paddle. They said they were thinking of instituting a "1 beer, then get a shower policy" if we had stopped in on our 3rd day they probably...
yes you do.. I'm not sure why anyone would say not to, other than to ruin your day/ hike
On a 3 day trip from car A to car B my friend realized as we were in sight of his vehicle that he put his keys in my glovebox... luckily someone pulled into the parking lot while we were discussing...
Since not too many people are chiming in ..Bring some extra fuel if you use an alky stove and be sure to keep it warm. They don't function very well in colder temps. If you have one, now would be the...
I would suggest bringing 2 hats, 1 thick and warm and one thin hat the hike in. You will most likely sweat and get a cold cranium if you were too warm of a hat while you are hiking.. I would also...
I hiked a chunk of it last week with my friend, we got to talking and missed a blaze, ended up on another trail for about an hour before we noticed we weren't on the right one. We bushwacked our way...
Thanks for the goosefeet suggestions but I'm hoping to get a pair in the next week. Not really enough time to have a custom pair made. I have a lot of cold weather camping planned for the next 2...
I was wondering if anyone could let me know how the sizing is for these. Are they over sized enough to fit over baselayer and pants or are they an athletic cut? I own a pair of thermawrap pants in a...
I might be interested. I've never been to the adirondacks though. Which peaks are you planning on hitting? Got a link to a Trail map?
have you looked into the marmot arroyo? 2lbs, 30' rating (i've had mine down to 20 with just baselayers on). and it can usually be found on sale around $200.. It's a great bag.. check it out!!
i bring those hillshire farms sausages on just about every short trip i go on. The longest they have lasted me was 3 days... because I usually eat it all in 2 days. try mashed potatoes, sausage and...
i have one and was suggested to order a size up because they run a little small. I'm glad i did and I'll pass the suggestion along.- Great jacket!
Jesters acticle was great, thanks for posting it Mags. Anyone who hasn't seen Wizards Of The PCT should try to get a copy. It's definitely a good time.
did you have the pad inside the pad sleeve of the bag or was the bag just laying on top of the pad? if it was just laying on top you might have rolled over enough to uncover yourself from the down...
welcome back Tinker! What days are you looking to shuttle? I might be able to help you out thursday if you need a ride
Figures they wouldn't make hoses and jets to adapt existing stoves... It looks nice, but like panzer, I already have enough stoves. If they decide to make a conversion kit for the simmerlite I would...
Nice review, do you know if it is possible to use the cannister conversion parts to make a simmerlite run on cannisters as well?
I would suggest at also looking into Warbonnet Hammocks quilts. I own a 3 season Mamba from them and it is a high quality product. I also own a JRB stealth and that also is a great piece of gear. I...
no, we drove up there (3hr drive) only to find it was about a 6 inch slab of ice at the bottom. we made it about 100 feet up and slid back down and drove home. we have been thinking of trying again...
Chubbs, are you speaking of the falls trail at rickets glen? if so, at some point in the fall / winter they will post a sign that says something along the lines of " this trail is closed to all but...
Try Mountain Trails- in Winchester VA don't know if they would be on sale, but I know they are in stock..
I hiked it last november and there was plenty of water, it was during a fairly warm week though..There are a few steep inclines and declines that when are snow covered can get real fun. There are...
JacksrBetter- Stealth 40... $200, Warbonnet- Mamba 20.. $275, Marmot- Couloir 0..$450
