Never Summer Wilderness Loop Thanks, Tim. Nice moose shot. The only thing I got on the Never Summer trip was an out-of-focus photo of the moose running away from me on the third morning. But this guy agreed to pose for me th... |

Never Summer Wilderness Loop In the muffled silence, I creep toward the clearing. My heart jumps, then settles. No moose. Just a couple of does grazing at the far end of the meadow. Back on the trail, I ascend in the... |

Re: ergo or straight handled trekking poles For what it's worth, Dennis, I've been using Pacerpoles for years to pitch my shelters without any problem. They are pretty tough. I pitch with handles down and haven't had any issues... |

Four Pass Loop Thanks for all the positive comments, guys. Great story, Randy, and useful information about the parking. Maybe that's why I was the only backpacker on the bus. Doh! Yuri, very insightfu... |

Re: Re: Four Pass Loop It is kind of fun when that happens, isn't it, Tim. There was one time when I was in your neck of the woods, I think it was near Eccles Pass, when I could hear a large animal crashing around j... |

Montbell U.L.AlpineBurrow Bag #3 Long Nice review, Mitchell. After our discussion here about this bag back in April, I had a serious hankering after this bag. I really had no need of another bag and managed to resist until the Memorial ... |

Rocky Rocky GTX Socks Mine fit well. Size 10 slips right over a thin pair of wool socks and my size 9.5 feet. They are comfortable inside my trail runners and do what they claim to do--keep my feet warm and dry in wet, col... |

Lighten Up! by Don Ladigin This is the book I recommend to friends and folks I meet on the trail who are interested in going lighter. It's fun, unpretentious, and lays out the basic ideas in ways that are easy to understand. Do... |

Eastern Mountain Sports Craig, good news. The last EMS store in Colorado closed a few months ago so no more tax for you. It was two miles away from my home in Denver and I miss it but I'll admit that I took full advantage o... |
