Yeah nice picture but you are disregarding information present. That looks to be a mostly open grown tree, which is great for wind tolerance. Notice though it doesn't have a full crown down low...

That's a very memorable story which I would also say is a short story but reading is like hiking. Some may think a 3 mile hike is arduous but it helps to humor the person to encourage further...

Lots of good advice about assessing the surrounding campsite trees for health and vigor as well as for consideration of loading on the trees such as ice, snow, and water. A tree with a big crown...

The vaccines are rated by efficacy (which is different than effectiveness). Even at 95% efficacy, that leaves 5%. (1 in 20, no work for you) Given the current widespread prevalence of the virus...

First pic, something came down on the tree and tore the bark off that face, never fully recovering on that section. Drove the leader down and may have stayed on top of it for a bit of time. The...

You could core it and see how old it is.

Second picture looks like the tree on the right had its leader or a main branch pushed into the tree on the left. It didn't alter the upward directional...

Already not going well with responses. Thread is now in Straight Forward.

In home rain water collection systems, there's a recommendation to discard the first so many gallons for this reason-get rid of the first flush so to speak.

My bad! I clicked the link but the bulk package looked a lot like the easy mac and cheese cups box, which I have bought a few times from Sams.

I think he would cook them not pour boiling water on them. At least half the container is air, so extra bulk.

I've eaten the mac-n-cheese at home but not on trail. I usually just keep stuff in...

I'll keep an eye out for it to see how it tastes but as far as worrying about msg, that's an overblown concern for most people....

A friend of mine brings the mac-n-cheeze as an appetizer. He dumps them into a ziplock at home then cooks them in his cookpot or his cup. He's worked out the proper amount of water but I don't...

There are multiple types of Frogg Toggs. The cheap set found at Walmart seems to be the Ultra-Lite. I have that set but I carry it mainly for day hiking, not overnights. It's pretty soft and seems...

What a nightmare this movie is going to be:mad:!

That got political pretty quickly. Your coal is estimated to arrive after Jan. 8.

If you are looking for a good winter hiking boot, plan to look after winter when retailers are clearing out inventory When you want and need them, they're usually full price.

Winter boots for...

Let's clarify a little and then leave it at that so we don't have a big Vaxxer anti-Vaxxer debate. Effective and safe vaccines widely accepted will make the trail better for everybody.

So same thing I said in the other thread, keep it focused on the trail situation. Still kind of premature to really gauge much, other than some good possibilities for a few vaccines. We've got...

Folks, the US ran up a million cases this week alone. Using the current numbers of deaths and positive case numbers, the estimated fatality rate is 2.1%. That means about 20,000 people infected...

Hijacked on the second post and continued because of separate issues with the ATC. I'm going to repost into SF.

I look for twigs and branches that are elevated off the forest floor, leaners or stuck in the dirt but standing up. Once you get something going, keep somewhat larger pieces close around the...

Yes. Without looking at every state where it's mandated, there's typically a stipulation about being unable to social distance as the trigger for the mandate with an associated type of location...

No. Too far out at the moment. Too much uncertainty and unfortunately the issue is too politicized. Maybe in a month or two.

You can if you know the regulations. But I don't think you actually complied with restrictions....

That's a bit of a rosy picture Dan, part of where your perception of conditions were possibly influenced by a lack of adherence to local conditions at the time. For instance, VA has had an indoor...
