Anytime we can have public property converted into parkland, especially with trails included, is a good thing. Far too much urban development has impacted on our state in the last forty to fifty...

I usually stuff my down sleeping bag into the very bottom of the backpack first, then my BV 450 goes on top of that. This usually places the BV just where I want the lumbar support. Generally, I put...

It's also entirely possible that your backpack straps are too tight. The blood circulation through your arms might be slightly restricted. This causes not only cold fingers/hands but also some...

I use Amtrak quite a bit and I've always found it to be very clean,. comfortable and convenient,.
The problem with carry-ons is practically non-existent,. They've never bothered me about anything,....

I've carried a Frisbee for several years. I put a small hole in the center through which I pass the rope used to hang my food bag. A slip knot about six inches up the rope holds the Frisbee from...

I switched over to a Kelty Agile 4500 a couple of years ago. It holds everything, including a BV 400. I'm sure the BV 500 will fit easily. I place small clothing items into the bottom of the pack and...

:eek: Sounds like someone hasn't been in the New Jersey woods or on any of our rivers on a weekend!

I second the Coleman! I've owned the same one for some years and it has served me well both at home for visitors and while campground camping. My only complaint is that if two people are on the...

I usually carry my cell phone in my shirt pocket when I'm hiking. The way I sweat, I drop anywhere from five to seven pounds on an average warm day. That's a LOT of water to sweat out! The cell phone...

Yeah, the parody part was understood.....

Kissing under a waterfall? Huh?

I use a Kelty Agile 4500, which has a compression hood much like your Big Bear. After I load the main compartment and compression compartment on the top, I attach the compression compartment loosely...

Okay, but if you have such a large group, please be considerate of other hikers and break up into at least three or four small groups. I can imagine the frustration if all of you try to cross a...

Unfortunately, if you do that in protest, our wise leaders have chosen to extort even more money from you. If you don't pay the summons, you stand to lose other "privileges, like your driver's...

Sure the trail will still be there. But there are many other recreational opportunities (swimming, fishing, canoeing, boating, camping, birding, nature photography, or just getting the kids into...

Will the Governor/King also reduce the budget for his palace at Morven or his summer palace in Island Beach State Park? Since he owns a very nice private residence in Summit (I believe that's where...

It seems strange that the affected areas are in places that are predominantly Republican, also!!!

That was my exact thought!!!!

From the news story: The proposed closures would save about $4.5 million in salaries and maintenance....

From Wikipedia: Corzine's candidacy for Governor, like his prior run for the U.S. Senate,...

I'm about 1 1/2 hours from the I-80 bridge crossing from NJ into PA, and the same from the Hudson River crossing in NY.
