Quote from CoachLou: “The trout fishing in Penns Wood is mostly on the excellent side..............just for GP. :thumbup:” The Trout fishing on the Creek I lived on in Dahlonega, Dick's Creek, and the one it flowed into, Waters Creek, are World Class fisheries... Caught 3 Rainbow's over 8lbs... I don't think I ever fished once that I did not hook up with at lest a 20 inch Brown or Rainbow Trout... Never took longer than 5 minutes to catch dinner

Quote from BirdBrain: “By chopping off everything I can and leaving the brain behind, my pack weighs 488 grams or 17.2oz less. Who says it does not pay to leave your brain at home. It is now about at 3lb 10oz. I can live with that. I just don't think I can live without the Osprey suspension.” If I cut 17oz off my Arc Blast, I would not have a pack ...

ZPacks Arc Blast 52L... I finally got to take it out for a hike in "4 season" mode the last few days as a shake down, and it performed awesome... I have had it out maybe 10 times in 3 Season mode, longest being 5 days, and I still think the ability to manipulate the way it carries as you eat down weight is pure genius on Joe's behalf... @ 4 days of food, I am usually right at 22lbs, but for this hike, w/4 days of "winter" food & gear, was @ 28.5lbs and it was like wearing nothing, even when rock…

Had an early day Thursday, off Friday, soooo, I took a hike... Parked @ Eckville Shelter and Yo-Yo'd to Port Clinton... Took off @ 3pm Sobo from Eckville and was planning on staying on the South side of the Pinnacle, as there is a very cool site on the left side of the trail... Well, I got there, and was still feeling froggy, so I thought I just put new batteries in my headlamp, so why not continue to Furnace Creek Shelter, as there are some cool camping spots waaaay in the back... By the time I…

Quote from Astro: “Looking to buy a Western Mountaineering Highlite (6'). Been watching for a month now, and have never seen them go below $340. So I amwondering if I should go ahead and buy it now for my birthday, or does anyone think there is much of a chance it might go on sale by Christmas? Of course avoiding taxes and getting free shipping is another factor.” BPL brother... I see that bag on there ALL the time...

Quote from odd man out: “One of the most popular beers that is commonly served with a slice of orange is Oberon (American Wheat Ale) from Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo, MI (one of the largest and oldest craft breweries in the east). I once heard from the owner Larry Bell (founder/owner) that the brewery officially objects to having Oberon served with an orange unless the customer specifically asks for one. Of course if the customer asks for it, they are always right. But if you get served an Obero…

Quote from Rasty: “Quote from Trebor: “Beer should taste like beer, not like a fruity drink with a little umbrella.” Dogfishhead 60 minute IPA No fruity stuff but has actual ingredients.
