    Really hope for some real info here. I hope not to begin a debate if you should carry, yet those that do, can place some advise on what and what they use. What's your every trip carry? I'll start with I have a baton, a bat, a walking stick (1.5 ash). I'm seriously considering a Umarex HDR 50.

    The pricing is getting better all the time! Here's another one I'm looking at: 1.6 GPM tankless water heter Anyone using a unit like this? Can I use a 1lb bottle? My feeling is it needs a pump (though not stated) or pressurized water source..

First comes cell service. I can locate the towers and find that LC, Churchill Falls, Happy Valley and Port Hope (and...

    Starting to explore the Adirondack's and points west.

Since my daughter has moved to NW NY I'll be traveling through a bit more than I have ever (like never..). All new to me! We just ran the...

We encountered over a dozen deer and Colette spotted a Mountain Lion perched on a rock just above the road! We also passed by several campsites, some small that just the truck...

    Cancelled A section of the Flatander!

    Running Campton, NH to Rt 89 just north of Contoocook. I don't see any thing technical about this run and nothing involving closed gates. Nice day easy early season run. I hope to venture off the path and visit Sculptured Rocks s I've never been there. Looks like a nice break from driving...

    3rd Maine Coastal Campsite

    This one became our favorite! Imenities were far less than the other two, sites much rougher and overall very rustic. Bath house did have running water but only cold and a bit o a woods walk (short cut) to it. Picnic area was tables placed out along the cliffs/rocks with just enough room to...

    Second campground on Coastal Maine we checked out

    We traveled up and stayed at Lamoine State Park as the second stop on our way up the coastline. We're trying to hit those spots just off the real busy areas. This one hits the mark! Fewer water view sites (5 or 6) and the rest up the hill from there, yet they have a abundance of field space to...
