I tried calling Kincora today and both numbers i have are "disconnected/out of service" . Anyone know what's up? They get hit by a storm and lose power? Help? I am trying to verify a shuttle i...

You don't need any mail drops.

I have used Katahdin Air Service and they can spot you on various places on the 100, different rates, different ponds or lakes. The ride alone in the plane is worth the $$ even if you didn't hike...

Any updated info about how I can get from Journey's end or North Troy, where I'm parking a car, to North Adams to start Northbound on Aug. 7? The first info about a greyhound bus from Burlington was...

Bug Repellent: A traditional technique used to ward off mosquitoes is the smudge fire. Using the Bushcooker LT1 in wood mode allows one to add wet organic material such as pine needles, or forest...

I too have used the Solio on both my AT and PCT thru hikes. It is not viable on the AT as a solar unit with the leaf cover , BUT it does work well as a storage battery when plugged into a wall...

Another option for a relativly quick , easy hike is to drive from Millinocket out to Baxter and on the way over get to Katahdin Air flying service ( float planes). They have various prices for...

Exped Down Mat, shortie. I was a convert to the Big Agnes Air Core, but valve failures on three different ones over 4 years ( that can't be repaired) sent me to Eped. Their valves are much more...

You can't go wrong with the foldable Orikaso cup hat packs flat in your back. Also flexible enough to extract water from shallow sources.

Hiking in from Carver's Gap to Damascus starting May 5. Will be working at the Four Dog Stove booth during Trail Days. Hello to all my GA->ME AT 2007 comrades in grime and please stop by and say...

I'm coming down for the party, and plan on taking a week to hike north into Damascus from Carver's Gap. I am finalizing transport from Maine down there and will probably fly into TRI airport near...

MeGaTex will represent with General Lee, Louis( AKA Richard Wizard) , his brother Jim, and me, Uncle Tom . See you all at the Kickoff.

I saw 47 below zero in an unheated tent in Labrador in 2002. People who were in the area saw 54 below one night earlier.

I have seen many of the AT documentaires and this one really had my hopes up. I even had to invite myself over to my friend Mike's house to be able to see it. I'd give it a "C" , which was a real...

Should be labeled with " Advertisement" , like they now have to do in magazines. I don't want the AMC to do to Maine what they do in NH, which is to disregard the actual needs of long distance...

I have complete instructions plus video of making your own backpacking wood stove on my blog. Cost is either free, or less than $5 if you buy materials. Double wall construction, efficient.

I just got back from sectioning 46 miles from Route 17 to 27,( Map 6) came out 9/22. Not much color, I'd say 30 % is accurate.

I just finished two months of testing the new Four Dog Stove titanium Bushcooker Lt I stove. It burns wood, but also alcohol, fuel tablets, and charcoal. I's giving it 5 Stars. Check out my...

I contest all this talk about tarps as cheap replacements for tents.
I would strongly suggest that one actually try using a tarp in the eastern US hiking environment before you shell out to buy one....

Not this June. That section of Maine has received over 6.5 inches of rain so far this year, just in JUne and more is predicted for tonight. The mud will be constant, humidity unbearable, and the...

There is no easy backpacking hiking in Maine right now. Snow is still present up on higher elevations. The mud is thick, streams and water crossing are high and the black flies should be coming...

We had two of the earlier all-black covered air cores and both leaked after time. There were no punctures, were leaking from the valves somehow. In fact, I was staying in a shelter in Maine this...

Experiencing Maine sucks since 1973. By the way, loved the photo of the black fly ninja suit, and I'd say it was brand new. After wearing them for a few days that shirt would have been tinged in ...
