I can completely identify with your fear. I've spent about half my growin' up years in the country and frequently run into snakes, but it still always gets my heart pounding when I first see one. I...

Arc cause it's shaped with a "real" footbox. Keeps out drafts better. Both are outstanding quality from what I've heard. No Sniveller is good for tree people, but for a ground quilt nunatak for...

He's a 59 year old man. Only a victimless crime to the blind and elderly women. 20 yr old female supermodels on the other hand... :-? speedy

I appologize for my part in turning a news thread into a political thread. Judicial activism is a super hot button for me, but I should have focused on the good news. Hiking without roads! :D speedy

I'm actually glad that the roads won't be there, but arbitrary judicial activism is getting really old. Maybe the forefathers should have included a 4th branch for deporting activist judges. At...

Cool, thanks for such an interesting site.



How do those poor scottish people sleep? Do they only take day hikes? :D speedy

Basically, any threaded canister should work with any other threaded canister. I use snowpeak's small one with my pocketrocket. No coleman propane, but that's just because the threads are different....

Thanks, cause I didn't think my life sucked bad enough before. Some guys just get all the luck. I'm going to tell myself they were all 300 lbs overweight and the oldest living ski team in the world. ...

Vest, but I'm unusually warm natured with great circulation in my arms and hands. It's gotta be really cold before I go to my jacket. Of course make sure you have something to protect your arms...

Yep, that poem just about sums it up.



I spent the last 10 mins scanning through the main text of her paper. Very interesting stuff. Maybe I'm nuts, but I love reading anything concerning...

Can't believe I just found this thread. Something sounds really fishy about that Greg Austin character. I'm not calling the guy a liar... well, ok, if indeed the guy really does exist and claims...

Whoohoo, I'm the first one that gets to look silly. :jump Well, not really. I agree with pretty much everything you said. My statement regarding the inertness of polycarb was somewhat hyperbolus. ...

Thanks orangebug, that explains a lot. I've learned to avoid or deal with it (with trailrunners and trekking poles and the like), but never understood it. It always felt like there was some sort of...

The radio waves from the guy's cell phone in the car next to you will give you cancer before your Nalgene. Polycarbonate is about as inert as plastics get. Drink your coffee without fear. ...

Sort of. The grip is a little different than pacers obviously. On level ground it's very similar to what that says. I do sometimes swing them in front a bit if I'm bored and want to change up the...

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. I know people keep saying trekking poles, but if you aren't using them already, that just goes without saying. Glucosamine/chondroitin is also a good place to...

I'd get mad, but I don't think I can for laughing. Good one. :D speedy

Hey Ken, that's quite an improvement. Given your sleeping requirements there's not much left to change. I think you'll really like those Z packs. Some would argue that you don't need trowels, but...

I know this probably isn't the best forum for this, but attroll/sgt rock haven't made me an admin yet, so no posting in the site happenings forum. ;)

I'm not one for new rules usually, and I...

I hope you were closer to the NC end of your trip. I'd hate to have to stuff you in a cardboard box and mail you back to Montery for trying to move in on my silnylon turf. Congrats on the find and...

I 2nd that[/QUOTE]

I hate to be trendy, but I third that. :D speedy

Wow, thanks for the pic. That might just be a good item for me. I could even make a mini one half that length! Only one gram more than a Reese's mini- peanut butter cup Is the extra bend on the end...

slamajama, if you're going to spend $35 I'd check craig's list and ebay too. I've seen pairs of leki's go for that much on craig's list before. I'd also recomend getting two poles if possible. I've...

I'm sitting under (and slightly to the right) of Angela Merkel in my own little quadrant. Suprise, suprise, seems I'm a moderate right libertarian. There's 15 mins of my life I'll never get back. I...

If I do it, I'll either carry or bounce a tmobile mda for updating trail journals and checking emails and such. I just like the idea more from the standpoint of being an American than a hiker. ...
