this 100%, it's supposed to be challenging and wilderness, I've seen a lot of people talking about rustic, a cottage is rustic, hiking trails should be wilderness

I Think it would really depend on each individual situation where the need may arise.

was looking at it today and really like how its looking, I noticed when you are on the trail list that there is no easy way to go back to where you are if you scroll either direction, any chance of a...

Being outdoors to me is a place to relax and...

Looked at it some today quite enjoyed it and it looks great. I don't know how feasible it is, but if you could add the distance to the next thing of that type I think that would be great rather then...

I am interested as well

I would not want to wear those anywhere in the woods, even just in camp

I always get the itch, winter is great to get out into with either snowshoes or cross country skies every season makes me want to get out and backpack.

That just goes to show that some people can do it with anything

He asks about setting up a tarptent in a shelter which is why I responded how I did, getting a tent with a larger vestibule is great even if it adds a few ounces of weight, highly recommend it when...

I keep it in my hiking backpack but whenever im not withen 5 feet of my pack or around people I trust it take out my package of docs and place it in my pants pocket.

You should not be setting up any sort of tent in the shelters, the mice and mosquitoes are part of the shelter experience. You could look into using a bivy bag/sack which does not take up more space...

it takes a while for the longer trips mentally for me, but physically it only takes about a day

agree so much with this

I use both facebook and whiteblaze, but I find whiteblaze to be much better organized and administrated.

I hope that the proposed hotel gets stopped, yes mount Washington is a zoo currently but this will just make it worse for wear.

This is very true about shelters close to trailheads, I was not considering that in my post. However I would never use a shelter that near to a trail head for the exact reasons you listed.

that's actually pretty cool to see, very different but a good story for sure

In my view, most people who show up late to shelters have a pretty good system to unpack and stay out of peoples ways, having tents in a shelter is just plain stupid, and to give a quote about that,...

it takes less space then a tent ;) but in all seriousness I doubt that people start taking these on back country hikes if they get fully developed and functioning as it appears to have many breakable...

Thanks for all the sites and suggestion's all.

why stop, went for a hike yesterday today checked over my skis and snowshoes to be ready for the snow in a month or more.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys, I'd like more titles rainman. Keep the suggestions coming:)
