... For EVERYTHING AT !
Over the years, I have made new friends here, tracked the progress of some who I have known from past Trail encounters, located Trail Buddies who I had lost track of, and...
Ditto... "The Church of the Mountain Hostel" is a great place, very friendly folks. I go along with KK on Worthington State Forest - It's THE BEST! Camp sites are available less than a stones throw...
Thanks to all for the well wishes... There is still quite a bit of swelling and pain. The ice and 3-Advil 3x/day helps. It's sunny and REAL windy here today, but I plan to give the knee a...
Hi all-
Unfortunate as it is, there is a good chance I might not be able to participate. I injured my knee yesterday evening while hauling and stacking logs, and will be out of work today and...
I'm with Captn on this - a variation on the Box Method (when I have the setup time available). However, I might use the Teepee Method if I am in a hurry.
As faar as I know, the crusher's don't necessarily need to be wool. I simply know them as wide-brim "floppy hats" that easily fold (or crush if you prefer) into a small size, easily stuffed into a...
There are a few threads available on WB regarding this. One is:

Sorry I didn't post sooner... just returned from a trip without internet access.
All sounds GREAT, and plan to be there!
Hope you're feeling better SL!
Happy Trails!
A Tracfone will work fine so long as the phone you buy is based on CDMA technology. This means that the Tracfone will use the Verizon Wireless network, which provides the best overall coverage along...
Right said!
Trail names kinda sneak up on you - like the weather. Ya don't know exactly which direction their coming from or how good or bad they'll be. But you can always count on one thing -...
I've seen too many Leki's break, and the locking mechanism fail. Definitely NOT worth the money. You are paying for the name and fame. I favor a more sturdy pole. The Tracks Sherlock Staff in...
I do use an MP3/WMA player while hiking, but only occasionally. Perhaps when I need "inspiration", or perhaps when I am looking at a beautiful panorama, I may listen to some instrumental music of...

I was looking forward to a good night of Orionids; however, there was too much cloud cover :(
I hope others, somewhere, had better seeing than I did.
I believe the Clearfield County Fairgrounds (near State College, PA) offers camping for free-to-$10 with areas for tents and RV's. Sorry, I don't have a phone # for you to call to verify this info,...
I don't use a headlamp per se. I have a couple of decent LED flashlights (3-AAA) that I carry. These fit into a headband flashlight holder that converts them into a headlamp when needed. Saves...
I believe this is the one I carry:
Zondervan, "NIV Compact Thinline Bible", ISBN- 031093771X, Available at Amazon.com for $20.23. Just search for the ISBN on their site. 7.1 x 4.9 x 1.3 inches,...
yup... Just my luck that I planned a section, nobo, thru NY for this weekend... A nor-easter is heading in, and R*A*I*N - probably heavy R*A*I*N is expected, along with some of the white stuff in...
I'm in (depending on the date). Let me (us) know!
Yes.
[a man of few words].
Thermos ... never use em. No need. Just another extra weight 'luxury' item. I heat water when I need it to make hot-coffee/tea/cocoa/soup, drink my drink, put my cup away, and move on.
[saying it in the most monotonous voice possible] ... I alternate between Fig Newtons, oatmeal, PopTarts, and granola bars, along with hot tea or hot coffee. I'm not one for much diversity or...
I switch between two different technologies depending on my hike...
I have used a Coleman Peak/1 multi-fuel for MANY years. It's always been reliable, albeit a bit on the heavy side. In alcohol...
I love coffee, and have ever since I first tasted it when I was eleven y.o. I would take a fresh brewed cup of diner coffee, or lacking that, a fresh brewed pot Maxwell House or Chock-Full-Of-Nuts...
To avoid blisters and excessive dry times, I never traverse streams, etc. with by hiking boots. I always use a "water shoe", which is simply a slip-on, rubber-bottom, extremely light, well, shoe. ...
