Adirondacks...where to start Well, there are no close places in the ADK's from CT. Everything will be about a 3-4 hour drive. There is the NPT, of course. But this is a week-ten days. Several short loops you can take aroun... |

Klymit Inertia X Frame I picked up a Xframe (full size) a couple weeks ago. I took it out for 5 nights last weekend with my daughter, Brenda. I had a good trip but was unimpressed by the pad. I tried various techniques with... |

Trail Designs Caldera Stove Great little piece of gear. Light, easy to use, miserly on fuel. Keeps the heat in on the pot and does a great job of boiling water. I will complain that it does not let enough heat out sometimes...... |
