My cuben food bag broke on the second day of the hike - had to pick up another one from Mt. Crossings. The blast might be better.
Whether or not it can be cured (and so far, I haven't seen evidence to that effect,) my GP and even Joslin were aiming for an HbA1c of 7. That number would assure that I develop complications. In...
The website that helped me the most was http://bloodsugar101.com. It basically advocates a low carb diet and whatever drugs you might need to help. You can be heavy with good blood sugar control,...
I second Smartwool leggings, but I had another lighter wicking pair as well. I tried to hike with the lighter ones and sleep in the wool ones, but on a couple of cold days, I just hiked in the...
Strange - dogs are permitted in the Whites, and Dave is from NH. I think trails are great for giving my dog off leash exercise.
I've logged a lot of miles on NH trails with my dog off leash,...
Oh, a sherpa! Easy answer.
There is a small D-ring on my strap right below shoulder height. I used a string tied to a mitten hook wrapped around the water bottle neck to hook to the D-ring, and attached a...
Oh - and if you have a smart phone, you can download it - I got both hard copy and electronic.
They had some at Mt. Crossings.
We have a schnoodle - now too old to hike very far, but she was a great hiker in her day. She has long legs for a small dog and loves people. They're known for being friendly. Ours is normally...
Interesting - giving you a choice on the charges. It makes sense from a prosecutorial point of view. I won't be doing it as I know the federal magistrate judge in NH - wouldn't really want to...
Mountain Mike FyI they are Bison not Buffalo.
lobster prices plummetted three months ago - you can get it airmail now, and cheap at some supermarkets
Lobster prices plummet every time they...
Yep. Agreed.
I don't, but I did back in the day - and I may well turn 60 on the trail. My birthday is in early October, so maybe not. But please don't put me in the category of "less tolerant" with respect to...
Yep - now there is a sub menu bar - I finally figured it out after a panic attack.
Favorite quote of my husband - "Flat Rate Boxes - Best thing to happen to Geologists."
Yikes, been there about four years. . . .
Summed up? "Get over yourself, and follow the golden rule." Nice post.
I bought a Hennessy and after using it just once in the cold, I'm having it modified to be a side entry, and stitched my under quilt together at the bottom entrance. It was cold at the bottom entry,...
Just went for my third round of allergy testing today - was planning on only using benadryl on the trail, but my allergies pretty much blew up at Thanksgiving. . . . so I'll be dragging vials and...
https://sugru.com - I remade my mini-whisk (which I AM taking because of my low carb diet and mountains of freeze-dried eggs I'll be making on the trail).
Also planning on using it to make my...
I'm totally upset I didn't hold out for this. . . .
I switched to low carb because I'm a newly diagnosed diabetic. In the course of a normal day, carbs only increase my blood glucose without getting into my cells for energy. (Insulin resistance) ...
I made my tarp BIG - I've camped in the Whites, which are basically a northeastern rain forest. I wanted to be able to stake it right down on the windward side of my hammock - that said, I'm not...
