EMS in New England can be very helpful. There were several experienced hikers that worked there and fitted me properly with a new pack last year. Wherever you go...make sure you talk to an experinced...

Wow this is a great spot to camp for a night. We were there 6-25-2006 We did get nailed by black flies though. Hardly a mosquito to be seen. I think the black flies ate them. We filtered and treated...

Anybody here stay at this site for a night on their trek? I do not know anybody personally that has stayed there. If I stop there and the tent sites are filled, is there adequate area nearby to pitch...

Want to put down 2 sleeping pads for wife and I. lay lightweight sheet over them both. Now what can I get for a "lightweight" blanket that will be big enough for both of us. Is under 1 pound good for...

After 2 weeks of punishing rains, how are the trails looking up Canon Mt? We want to hike it Father's Day weekend and camp up there also.

Just wondering if the trails around this area have been damaged from the huge rains these past couple weeks. I know that many areas of NH have been very badly damaged. We plan on hiking Canon Mt and...

Here in New England bears are making their presence known a lot lately. when we are hiking in a kknown bear area, how far from our tent should a food bag be hung. I mean obviously you don't hang it...

Money would be my main reason in general. My daughter has been in poor health for a couple years now. Many of us have a loved one that is in trouble health-wise probably. Those 2 things aside I would...

I myself would be more likely to sponsor a person that was raising $$ for an AMC,AT, or hiking related organization instead of a distant church. All the same I wish him luck.

A ban on trapping is the main culprit here in my own town also. There are numerous stories every year in MA of run- ins with coyotes. Development is truely a problem and I wish most towns would put a...

Just curious what order you all pack all your stuff. I did see one post recently that somebody here did it this way:

Bottom-tent, sleeping bag,pad

Middle-clothing

Top-food

Now my...

Well we all seem to agree those buggers will get thru smaller than my 25 micron filter. I just want to remove sediment really. I fully intend to treat and gladly wait 30 minutes or more to make sure...

This is our first year of multi-day hiking. We were planning on just treating our water, but I was wondering what you experienced hikers thought of this. I was thinking of of passing our water thru a...

Ok...here is the story. I had no luck registering Views from the top. Must be a website problem. I did talk to the WMNF office and got the story on Franconia Brook Tentsite. Yes it did indeed exist a...

I will be hiking several days in the Pemigewasset Wilderness and was thinking of staying one night at the Franconia Brook tentsite. It is on an AMC map, but I also do not see any information about it...

Um....It was mentioned above not to put fish entrails into a stream or brook we might drink from. If you put the fish entrails in a lake or pond for the "turtles" to eat fine, but does'nt basically...

My wife and myself are into our first year of real hiking. We will be taking 2 to 4 day hikes in the White Mountains of NH as well as other areas olong the AT in New England. Have all the gear and...

I know I could not afford the weight of any bear-proof food container in my pack. I hang it high and pray breakfast will still be there in the morning!

I absolutely agree with C-Stepper. Keep in mind your ground insulation. My sleeping pad REALLY hold heat great. Therefore I can keep a 30 degree bag on me and still stay warm to 20 degrees.

I'm looking at EMS,REI,Campmor and a bunch of sites for a nice light sleeping bag,tent and pack. Many places like EMS say wait till April when they have a sale. Any ideas??? This will be my first...

You can now treat water that has iodine to remove the taste. Besides carrying the filter around I worry about it malfuntioning in the second or third day of a hike. Pills for me! I don't mind waiting...
