Did I mention I got my butt handed to me...oh the things we do.” Does …

Quote from moose717: “Quote from AnotherKevin: “Quote from SarcasmTheElf: “AK, if you have any interest in doing some map/compass instruction on the hike, I am all for it.” :unsure: In the iron mine district? The lesson from there is not to trust your compass when you're standing on a pile of iron ore. But I'll see what I can do.” I'm in for this too. I've tried to teach myself how to use my compass, but I can't show myself what I don't know. If you don't mind showing me, I'll soak it all up. I'…

Quote from IMScotty: “Questions: 1) Kevin, I may be taking the short walk in from Tiorati Circle so please let me know if there is anything I can haul in (Firewood?) 2) I presume snow cover is gone in this area. Do you think I will still need microspikes? I look forward to meeting all of you, Scott” Hello! ...judgement call on the micro spikes... Not a bad idea to leave them in the car, at least.

Quote from G.G.: “FWIW... I just played in my first hockey game in 20+ yrs. 7 man line up. This weekend is not going to be pretty.” Better leave your skates at home, then... Apparently hockey players don't grow up.

not a bad basic hammock -- and you are right -- pretty heavy. part of that is the size -- it is a big hammock, which will make it comfortable for you (you look tall!) another part is the suspension, and you are right again -- it makes sense to loose the caribeners (sorry about the spelling...). it is a good price with the net, and cheap enough so it can't hurt to try it. it is like a bigger skeeter beater pro.

Quote from LoboSolo: “we're goin' saturday” i meet you at the soruck around 4 or 5 years ago when i was section hiking northbound -- the year that marta/four leaf completed her sobo thru hike and showed up at the ruck... and mathewski was there, too... so was the she dino. and Miss Janet was in the kitchen... i was at the top of the dirt road when Ron Haven's school bus dropped you all off to slackpack downhill to the ruck. i got to slack pack, too, thanks to some nice hiker guy who brought my p…

Quote from 1azarus: “Quote from AnotherKevin: “On Saturday, Fingerboard to Letterrock (Wm. Brien) is really short mileage. 1azarus is planning a long loop - longer than I want to walk - down to the Tuxedo area (Claudius Smith/Almost Perpendicular). I'm thinking of doing a loop to tour some of the iron mines in the area south of FIngerboard, and maybe discuss the history a little bit. For what it's worth, some of the mines aren't on the NYNJTC published hikes, and there might be a wee bit of trav…

Hey AK. How about you make me dinner one night I'll make you dinner another night?

AK I would love to have your curry... I just feel badly that I won't be able to meet you at noon to carry it, so I was going to be mature and skip it. It is a treat, mr. Supercook.

Quote from BirdBrain: “I am always interested in new caffeine delivery methods on the trail. I actually tried just caffeine pills once. That was a flop. Ended up doing tea bags on Maine walk. For me, weight to benefit must be considered with every item. I see myself carrying a weeks worth of stuff on average on all of my future long walks. I probably will do Folger Singles on my next walk. After looking a the tutorial, it looks like a lot of work and would require 2 cups to do the k cup coffee t…
