The number of fake/spam accounts peddling FENTANYL!?, other ridiculous medical miracles, supplements, and such is nuts. IMO it really degrades legitimacy of the forums. I've reported a number of them, but surely something can be done to force people to create real accounts and thwart bots or...

Spent the weekend at Seneca Rocks, WV camping on some private property well beyond the rocks on Roy Gap Rd. Got some midday shots on Saturday while hiking with my wife and dogs. Then went out and got some shots as the first rays of sun hit the fins on Sunday morning. Just a spectacular place...

Surprised you got anything, but that, likely, explains the intermittent issue. It’s, certainly, an incredible space. I didn’t live in the area at the time, but a buddy of mine that used to climb there decades ago would tell stories of jets doing training runs through the valley. That would be...

A cell booster won't help you. As best as I can recall Seneca is within the National Radio Quiet Zone. You can't boost what isn't there. :grimacing: We're actually headed there this weekend to camp, and I can't wait to be unreachable!

I mean...it's better than THEM coming back alone, right?

Wait…you know my mom? Kamikaze trip to Flagstaff from Virginia to pick up my camper and spend just a couple days in Flagstaff with one night in the camper. She was nearly packing her bags in anticipation of going with me as my wife was staying home with the dogs. I took my stepfather instead.

90+% of our time...whether on a 4-week trip or a 2-night local escape...it's my wife, me, and our two dogs. We have a very tight circle of folks that we CAN tolerate for multiple nights and many miles, but it's rare that our schedules mesh; particularly on short notice for those quick getaways...

Not only the gear, but the knowledge in how insulation/thermal transfer actually WORKS. More layers =/= more warmth all the time. Putting that heavy wool blanket over your sleeping bag, for instance, will have you shivering when you compress your sleeping bag...effectively ruining any insulating...

Is that Transfer Trail out of Glenwood Springs?

Hey...never said they DON'T work, and if it fits your budget/plans/risk calculus/etc. go for it <shrug>. The higher risk of failure (whether out of the box or in the future), despite some of them probably working just fine for forever, isn't worth it to me. I'm, squarely, in the buy once, cry...

Honestly it has nothing to do with luck, but the age old wisdom of you get what you pay for. I'd hazard a guess that 99.9% of those "reviews" are people buying cheap heaters off of Amazon then pissing and moaning that their sub-$200 heater is throwing codes. I mean...there are entire Facebook...

You pretty much described the reason for most rules/laws across the entire world. Having to legislate what should be common sense is appalling.

- A good compass and the knowledge in how to use it. Do you have a local orienteering group that does events? Do you or the beneficiary of said stocking tend to get lost or go cross-eyed looking at a map? A membership to said group is, likely, really inexpensive and that compass will last a...

If anyone is unfortunate enough to watch a dog escape from a wrecked vehicle only to get smashed on the road, as I have, they'll probably reevaluate how they transport their pup(s). Watching dogs loose in a vehicle, in a driver's LAP :unamused:, or bouncing around in the bed of a pick-up...or...

Probably my favorite sign ever! :grimacing: Sorry, boss...didn't get that call.

Good reminder...not just to slow down...but that morons will shoot at anything with zero regard of their surroundings :unamused:.

SOLD...for good this time!

Fair question that I have no answer to. I've always gone west to east and found stream crossings, etc. to be easy to do that way. I've, honestly, done it four? times and never actually had to deal with oncoming. But...yeah...it's causes a bit of anxiety to think about. And that's when I had my...

Thanks for the legwork on this! Good to have official word on it. Having worked in the IC for over 20 years, and a short stint in the ARNG...don't get me started on the speed of gubment nor what we PAY for such "speed". :tearsofjoy:

Yeah...problem with MVUMs is they only reflect USFS infrastructure. It's pretty common to see a USFS route with no beginning nor end because the path to both lies outside of USFS-controlled land. They also, rarely, show rights-of-way. With that said, none of them are up-to-date either given the...
