Mr. K lived right up the road from here. Quite an interesting guy! RIP Bill.....you'll be missed in these parts!
I'll be moving to NH after my thru this year. Since I'm retired now, no job worries.
As a born & bred inhabitant for 56 yrs, minus 6 yrs of military/job time somewhere else, I have the right to say.......they don't call this place "Taxachusetts" for nothing! What the town of Hawley...
Hi, Tipi....being a lifelong dog owner in New England, I fully understand the capabilities of various breeds during the snowy winter months. That's why I've always had large breeds as wandering...
I don't post much on this forum, but...........+1 on bfayer's response!
Higher elevations with deep snow are not good for your dog. Also, are arrangements for the pup in order for your trek through the areas where dogs are not permitted on the AT?
14" of snow at my home here in western Mass
Thanks.....too narrow for my wide, flat feet.
Width on the boots?
+1 on what Slo says.......I always have a light wt wool vest with me. Nice to wear in camp over the dry base layer/sleeping clothes on the chilly nights at elevation. Plus, it's another insulation...
+1 on the jacket & water quality
Many folks, myself included, use the Sawyer Squeeze. Since I use a Solo Stove, my back up is boiling....then Aqua Mira. The Sawyer Mini was recently introduced as a reduced weight option. ...
Your bear bag is multi-purpose then. It protects the food supply, provides a bit of piece of mind & gives you the opportunity to master a skill set! Well worth bringing it, I believe.
One of my hammocks is an Explorer with bottom entry. I use either a 1/8" or 1/4" ccf with a segmented pad extender (SPE). Recently picked up down underquilts for my gathered end hammock & will be...
Haven't done an E2E on the LT....yet, just parts/sections. But, I have been camping in Vt since I was 6, and started bushwacking (my preferred "hiking" mode) throughout the state, as well, since I...
I agree with the hammock option. For late August elevation chill, a light weight insulation alternative to consider is a torso length piece of reflectix bubble pad. You can get one, made for...
I'll 2nd the Hammock Forums website & Shug's (also a Hammock Forums member) YouTube videos......a ton of knowledge there. There is also a good book by Ed Speer called "Hammock Camping" that has some...
+++ on this. I had my old BS Skyline aluminum frame (canvas is long gone) still hanging around from my trip to Philmont Scout Reservation in New Mexico back in 1971. I have a remote, primitive...
10,000; 100,000; 1,000,000 comments. More is better, actually, for the designers. I don't see that the poll nor the answers given, is what's important. I think it is going to be utilized as a...
I try to avoid chem type products, if possible. At some times & in some places, one just has to use them, though. I use DEET very sparingly & will use permethrin on my outer clothing due to ticks....
The majority of flying, biting bugs especially mosquitos, gnats & flies, zero in on us due to the carbon dioxide we emit from exhaling, not from 'smelling' our blood.

This one is only 3.8 oz with the 2 tea light candle wt. included. http://www.amazon.com/UCO-B-LTN-Micro-Lantern/dp/B004VIXTHI/ref=pd_sim_sg_2
I go for the coffee.....only the coffee. Everything else they serve up makes me feel like crapola. I'm not a food snob by any means. I have eaten Wendy's & Burger King food with much less crapola...
