Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from July: “Quote from TrafficJam: “It seems to me that stealth camping has less impact on the environment than overused campsites.” This is true TJ, depending on the responsibility of the stealth campers. Generally, all I have encountered over the years are respectful and LNT. Hey, thats why we stealth On the AT with thousands rolling thru every year, concentrating all of these hikers into designated spots is IMO SMART. Imagine the potential chaos, alot of these peop…

Quote from WiseOldOwl: “Part of the experience is not only enjoying the hike and talking with folks along the way or at the shelter - but due to my snoring past - I plan to disappear deep well off the trail and not on some ridge freezing my butt off in the wind. Last year we carpooled with a bunch of guys and enjoyed the comraderie - but one of us ran ahead and we never saw him till the end of the trip & the best part - cant remember the ass. The rest of the hikers will be a fond memory for the …

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from July: “Quote from TrafficJam: “I'm prepping for my first stealth experience and just had my tent altered to make it less noticeable . I never stray very far from the trail because I'm afraid that I'll fall or get lost. What can I do to make sure that I find my way back to the trail the next morning? Should I even be concerned about that?” Carry a set of ranger beads to track your distance off trail, pay attention to 'obvious' landmarks, take note if you need to. …

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from rafe: “Quote from July: “ALDHA, membership required, Well... :)” I don't think membership is required to attend the Gathering, but even if it is: it's $10. The fee for the Gathering itself is separate ($20).” included in membership is a free pdf copy of the companion. worth the cost of membership in itself.” Thats right hb, one of the things I have liked is that included in the newsletters is listed with location, address, phone etc of members so you kinda know y…

Quote from July: “Yes Rafe am sure all may attend. I am going to Research r.a.f.e” You are right rafe, I checked and looks like maybe camping/meal fees. Everybody enjoy!

Yes Rafe am sure all may attend. I am going to Research r.a.f.e

Quote from rafe: “Stealth is just that -- nobody knows you're there. It doesn't require a tarp or fancy knot-work or a home brewed teepee. The way I figure it, if I wasn't observed and left no trace -- no harm, no foul. It doesn't even have to be hidden, it means you need to remain unobserved. So one "trick" I've used when I intend to stealth is to set up my tent only at dusk or even in darkness. At that point it's very unlikely that a hiker or ranger is going to stroll by and find me. If I pack…

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from BirdBrain: “Okay... the proceeding blather is just my way of saying I am JEALOUS! Have fun.” no worries. i'll give you a report when i get back. i haven't heard back from the shuttle, so i asked sly and he said i might be able to get a ride from one of the pre-event crew. in that case its possible i might hike mass instead nobo . i just figured that stretch of vermont is more likely to be less crowded than the 40 miles south of greylock.” I'm sure you will have n…

OK, just came accross my old "roll up" pack kitchen. This is crazy, a person could compete on "cutthroat Kitchen" with all these utensils, spices, and accoutrements... Aye prolly got an old TV antenna in here somewhere also.

Was perusing through some gear boxes, still have some late 80ish style MSR nesting pots and a screw/tight heat exchanger. Today I would call this Car/Base camp gear, but back then... It was just what you carried. Did'nt even think about the mass or volume.

coach pull her out and fire her up, ever now and then.
