I've carried a SPOT locator since 2013. I upgraded to the SPOT 3 recently from a SPOT II. I've never had to use it for a real emergency, but I'v tested it a number of places. I spent 6 years off...

That statement has no basis in fact. Limbaugh/Hannity/Trump/Ryan are not always right.

Oh, and I stopped by the Doyle Hotel in Duncannon early last fall and asked the lady who co-owns it with her husband about Terry Coyle. She told me he was banned from the Doyle for life because he...

Terry Coyle. There have to be sad cases like him in the world. I'll have to admit I watched his videos years back. They mostly involved his mooching weed and majic mushrooms, as well as making an...

I don't over-engineer it. I just keep them in their original rigid, yet lightweight box and put it as close as I can to the top of my pack. Problem solved. (Put the box in a gallon ziplock if...

Contrary to "purists", I carry a SPOT gps locator. It weighs next to nothing and like bear spray, it is...

To each his own, but a couple of ounces doesn't bother me. I've used a SPOT here in Afghanistan, and it was accurate to 15'. I've had it ping from the cockpit flying over the north atlantc at...

This article from the BBC talks about "Brothys", which are shelters scattered over some of the most beautiful parts of the UK, and like shelters on the AT, are free to stay in. Definitely worth a...

Outstanding work.

Hiked 72 to 541 three weeks ago before the rains came. Thought I'd get some water out of a spring about 1/3 way up the mountain, but it was pretty dry. I had just enough to get to the William Penn...

I bought a Marmot Tungsten 2 tend online for about $159, from Backcountry Edge, via Amazon. It is well built, has a great fly, and comes with a footprint. All tipping the scales at just under 5lbs....
