That's a good little shelter.
Pepe must like the place, he was hanging out with all the thru hikers in there last time I was there.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -

so, imagine a group of hikers was planning to get together (sometime soon), and someone wanted to bring beer. what is the lightest 6 pack of beer? my guess is that the weight of the beer is fixed, but the weight of the aluminum can is variable. Related questions: is it appropriate to card hikers before offering an alcoholic beverage?, is it acceptable to only bring one beer per hiker?, and how long does it take to freeze beer at 22 degrees, when the beer starting temp is 50 degrees? Oh, and is it appropriate to make everyone keep their own empty, or should all the cans just go in the fire ring?
Serious answer. Beer is a lot like my cast iron skillet and my camp chair. It's one of the things I like when I'm car camping, but I don't bring them backpacking.
I rarely drink when I hike, but when I do it's a bit of good whisky, either straight, mixed with black coffee, or in the winter mixed with hot cherry jello (seriously)
I once did an Eiger Sancion movie move & had my friend haul beer. I slipped it in his pack on a local hike of the M & M Trail. We stoped for a break at an open fire tower in the hot humid summer heat. He climbed up & was sitting on the edge leaning against a rail catching what little breeze there was. I yelled up & asked if he wanted a beer. He said I had to be "F"ing nuts to carry beer in this weather. I agreed pulled out the two beers I hid in his pack & climbed up to join him. He complained about them being warm but shut up when I told him I thought it would be pushing it to far if I had him carry ice too! :woohoo:
The best beer is either the one you get for free or the one your pal carried up the mountain for you! -

I am a proof reading nazi, and found a mistake in their video. They talk about time laps, not time lapse! I did (sweetly) email them about the error. Think I'll hear from them? Think they'll send me free stuff? Think they'll send me free stuff before the Harriman hike? I am a hiker, so I do deserve special consideration, right?kick out the jams, bunny rabbit! -
