In a proper candle lantern they're just fine. However I'd yell at anyone I saw burning a bare candle in a shelter, as much because of the huge and...

I think the first consideration to start with is what type of tent and what material is it constructed from? Many older materials were treated with...

This is a timely question. I'll be in Northern New England this summer and will be looking for a new sleeping bag or quilt. I'm inclined towards a 30...

That's how we treated most of our canvas tipis in the 60's, except we added many flames inside.

It has snowed on Mt Washington every month of the year. Someone died of hypothermia near Washington this past summer in June. The huts post very...

To the person who sent me the PM, I replied (twice) but my response is not showing up in my Sent message folder, so please let me know if you didn't...

Much appreciated !! I will check these out. Bulls Gap to Porters Gap sounds likely and at my current rate of travel would be a 2 and a half or maybe...

If you've liked Altra in general, give Topo a consideration as well. Very similar philosophy in general and excellent build quality. If you can't...

I still had my old Nokia on this trip but will soon be entering Big Frog wilderness with my new flip phone---Nokia 2760 at $15 a month. Results...

I would not leave my phone charging unattended unless it was secured, such as the host offered. On my way to town I will usually dump my powerbank...

Sigh, I wish I was out there right now. That looks lovely, even with all the cold and rain. Thanks for sharing these reports for those of us stuck in...
