I've had better luck using plain cornstarch to help clean my hair/scalp.

Just sprinkle it in and work it down to your scalp with your fingers then comb/brush it out. It absorbs the oils without...

He had a blood alcohol level of .203 - CT has a legal limit of .08 for comparison.

Rip was ripped.

I've stayed at church-based hostels before (and I'm an athesist) and generally have no issues. But then again, I truly believe in "to each his own" and respect that others have their own belief...

I found Nido on the shelf at Stop and Shop for the first time this week (and I've been keeping an eye out for it)- it was near the Goya foods section specifically. It's definitely more expensive...

There is definitely a difference between an anti-social homeless person squatting on a piece of trail and someone that is armed and acting in a menacing way. I've come across my share of homeless...

If you're not putting your stove on it - how about one of those 8.5x11" sheets of craft foam? They are cheap, light, and flexible. I've got two for my pack, one to use as a placemat, one to sit on.

I've been spending the past year putting together gear for myself. Money is very tight and I'm doing things very slowly. I sort of made myself a little nuts in the beginning trying to read...

She does have her own pack, I was just trying to lighten up the kibble load a little. Good news is that she eats just about any kibble so finding some in town won't be an issue. Plus I'm planning...

If they are fresh french fries (meaning the non-frozen kind) then just plain old salt is perfect.

For the rest - ketchup is a standard as is sweet & sour sauce.

I'm not a big mustard fan at...

I've been trying to find a way to keep Peanut well fed on the trail while not carrying 999lbs of kibble. She's a lean 50lb boxer that eats about 3-4 cups of kibble a day- the weight of which adds up...

We went through the food wringer with our older boxer- she had a sensitivity to something in food that caused a skin condition- we just couldn't figure out what it was exactly. We tried everything...

Okay I've managed to totally creep myself out but I looked through your entire gallery Herpn- absolute gorgeous shots. Dare I ask how many of them were taken in CT? (I think I may need to move...

Oh hey now - that's awesome! Thanks for the link!! :banana

Here's my dumb snake question for the day- are there particular times of the year where copperheads are more aggressive then others? For example, during mating or egg laying cycles.

lol... I've had a bunch of great "gotcha" shirts through the years. They're a lot of fun.

Not my cuppa tea. But then again I tend to like boring sorts of t-shirts anyway. (Big busted women don't need anything printed on the front of their t-shirts to give folks another reason to stare...

Does anyone have an online resource or a book they can recommend for basic knot tying for left-handed people?

It's miserably hard (at least for me anyway) to learn by simply trying to mirror...

I didn't say a shorter trip - I said less hassle. But that's just my opinion knowing exactly where I live as well as knowing the Connecticut shoreline very well (I grew up one town over from Old...

It will be less hassle for me (I live in Bristol) to head for Campmor vs. Old Saybrook. There is just no good way to get there from here.

And Campmor is certainly a great alternative (and one I...

There is a painful lack of decent outfitters in CT. PAINFUL.

Their prices look pretty good too :)

can't say that I've brushed with PrepH - but I did drink Prell (bright green shampoo/clear bottle) when I was younger thinking it was mouthwash - BLUCK

On a side note- PrepH is AWESOME to use on...

you might (might) be able to market these to women that want to fend off obnoxious pink-blazers :D

I think the name calling was a little inappropriate. :-?
