Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from TrafficJam: “I got gatored 52.gif Someone on WB has been pm'ing me questions about a recent hike I did. I sent a pm yesterday saying "If you're interested, I posted a few pics in Appalachiantrailcafe.net." It was deleted and the original pm was resent to me. I'm pissed. gif.003” ” they put a spam filter on our domain name, so that it just shows up as a bunch of asterisks.” what a good idea!!! we are a bunch of assterisks, after all.

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from rocksNsocks: “Quote from CrazyLarry: “Rassty stayed recently! Sent from my U670C using Tapatalk 2” the for sale by owner is a nice touch” i keep getting these offers in my email "cash offer for your home", so i finally decided to cash in and accept their offer. wait until my landlord finds out :evil:” That is soooooooo funny!

Quote from BirdBrain: “I like the concept, but have reservations. I will list them and let you assuage my fears. 1) Lack of dry tinder. 2) Soot on everything the stove and I touch. 3) Smoke makes it hard to be stealthy. Make me feel better WOO.” I've used a firefly for the last couple of years, and continue to do so with some reservations. Basically, you need to enjoy a fundamentally inefficient activity to use a wood burner of any kind -- there are clearly lots of easier ways to boil water. So.…

well, my where i'm going is not for two months unfortunately... nothing this weekend but a visit from my daughter. but i need you all to tell me where to go... sort of. I want around a 50 to 70 mile loop within three hours drive of central connecticut that isn't stupid snowy the last week of march or the first week of april. i am wondering about the catskills. pennsylvania isn't out of the question. i think i'm going to save the sunnapee monadnock trail for the beginning of june and the northern…

This is a perfect post. Accurate information well presented. Should be a role model. UL seal of approval. gif.004

Darn... I left catcrap out of my gear list. I use it, and like with everything else I use, I'm sure I'm doing it right! ...was on my glasses this past weekend. Oh... I left my graduated bifocal old man glasses off the list, too.

yup... my wife would send me to the basement, too, if i wanted to hang a hammock! you got me thinking... we were posting about structural ridgelines a couple of weeks ago. your basement hang made me think of a structural ridgeline in compression, not in tension the way they normally work. what if you took a steel tube the actual length of your hammock -- say 9 feet or so -- and fastened your hammock to that. you could then hang/suspend your hammock straight down from the ceiling at the tube endp…

Quote from G.G.: “Nice pictures. Pretty funny, if I'm not mistaken, we were there the same night. I had set up roughly 100 yrds or so from the shelter tucked in by a rock ledge to block the wind. Solo. Not one of the two guys who came barreling in late night. Tho I did wake / bother you when I retrieved my hiking poles that I had left hanging... Sorry about that.” i was there Sunday late afternoon and the wind was howling. i can't imagine finding a sheltered place up there. a young couple from b…

Quote from IMScotty: “I put a few pictures up on my Facebook page. I regret not taking some people shots but here a few photos of the scenery... https://www.facebook.com/sstimpson/media_set?set=a.10202375977313945.1073741851.1628151861&type=1 Scotty” great photos, and great to meet you! i got to the timp, too, so i stole some of your pictures for my facebook timeline! so glad you were able to join in.

Quote from BirdBrain: “Read my SoBo report again.That is what I mean by great weather. I spent a month in the woods in Maine and had 1 day of rain while walking. Had a couple of showers here and there and it rained while I was sleeping. It is a running joke with me for more than 15 years. It is always great weather when I am vacationing. We sail a couple weeks a year and the weather is always good.” wow. you should probably gamble.

Quote from CoachLou: “Quote from Rasty: “That is seriously light. I'm packed for five days and it's probably10# -more.” Could Maltos pack be even smaller? I'm sorry....it looked like a book-bag to me! :lol:” i think it was a book bag, now that you say it... he was carrying a book inside: "How to Stay Warm by Reading a Book," By Aryou Kiddingme

no. Malto is seriously light. his pack was around 2/3 of mine! he wants his pack to be small enough and light enough to run with comfortably. now that is a different world. I know i have a weight/volume penalty because i hammock.

I just got home, and also had a great time. What a treat! You all are so far up there on my list of kind people. I look forward to seeing more pictures... And to future trips.

see, having this kind of information available is what makes this place so special.

ok WOO... i tried to watch it all, and didn't quite catch the weight of the thing -- but it doesn't look like anyone would want to carry it very far -- but for car camping it does seem perfect. once you admit that it weighs more than you want to carry, then alternatives like: Therm-A-Rest Luxurylite Ultralite Cot or even just a standard camp cot probably start to make sense. Heck, you could stack three big agnes superpads in a nylon sleeve and bring a down comforter and it would weigh less. or b…
