EISPIRATEN

I am sure that 75lbs to the marine felt like 17lbs and to the rest of us 175lbs! Being new at this, you tend to overload and before you know it gets heavy fast by wanting to take this and that along. Maybe he wanted to relive his old marine days but you have to admire such an arduous effort to carry...

Nice day report. A:You show those kids who's bossiest beast around. B:You should have traded your directions for more snacks. :lol: A:Well, it was more of an entertaining-informative issue than being bossy to the ''children''. The basic guideline that applies when you go to an unfamiliar territory ...

11:45 on the trail; I was wondering why the pack felt so light! forgot to pack the snacks! only 2 lits of water, ops, kept thinking got to make it to the ridge and hope the nice and always hospitable Koreans will give me something to keep me going. No mood to beg frm anyone else, paying the price fr...

Sure, guys, no problem. I think I'm preparing haggis next. :lol: HJ HJ, you said you were kicking it up a notch! baaaam!!! we want you to prepare the San Gabes roadkill haggis! we will be able to collect a variety of road kill specimens for ya, but I am going in the end of the tasting line for this...

Hey Jim, can I help your reviews by eating whatever you cook? We have a prejudiced tasting reviewer here! Get off the tasting line! According to the culinary judging experts of all time-le French, you should not eat everything in sight, you need to restrain your pig-out hunger and develop a refined...

HJ, if I bring you some cooking ingredients for you to practice your culinary skills, can I go in front of the tasting line? There seems to be a high demand of hungry participants willing to taste your culinary creations!!! Keep on coooooooking!!! 666-the hungry Beast

Lucky you! do you ever think you will get tired of it?
Do us a favor and sent us some pics when its covered with the white!!! 666

Its fun idea that could have some potential for being established as a regular thing to partake when one gets tired of the normal treks through the Gabes. The main thing is not to make it an elite course where only a few people(like ones with military background) finish and the rest fall by the ways...

at the 3 mile mark Welcome to the freak(sometimes), informative(most of the time),entertaining(all the time) show of the SGMDF! Thanks for your appreciation of the pics, cause I try put lot of effort to capture a magic glimpse in nature but as always this medium is not as accurate as you being ther...

This is my pack stove... Durability: Excellent Ultralight: Weightless http://www.gregsuite.com/images/pack-stove.jpg It breaks down to fit in a saddle bag :D Hey PG, nice machine especially its portability, perhaps you would like to give us a demo -now that HJ bailed out of the FS stove review- whe...

Very nice! Thanks for the pics. you're welcome! We all try share and help people to have fun where ever they go in the forest. Its always nice to know what lies ahead, especially in demanding places like Iron. Also, sharing the pics will motivate some people to go there; for some people who can't g...

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. I am going up tomorrow. Thanks Logan, lucky you, what great way to celebrate with this first hike of the new year! 60 and sunny for monday! Enjoy every moment of it for I am sure it won't last for long. Soon it will be time for the snow people to have their fun on Ba...

Plz remember that mom always said: no politics or religion around the kitchen! M.P. you touch a hot stove subject and you a liable to get burned!!! 666

This unusual warm weather motivated me to hike the last trip of the year on the Demanding and Unforgiving Iron mt. It was the best ever weather conditions to have in order to make this demanding trek enjoyable! After 4hrs of a continuous steep uphill trek I reached the top of Iron for the 5th time t...

maekes suhre et dan't gits bourned!!!

assuming that the Boy Scouts, Sierra Club, etc. haven't already occupied them all. Sierra Club= a bunch of tree-huggers that when they get hungry they go for the bars and sub-subs:afraid they might get burned or burn the forest- how green is that!... Boy Scouts= only use it if there is survivalist ...

Obie, thanks for the visual of the history, the adventures and the great human accomplishments on those mountains! The Rainier climb without a rope and having to hold on on a moving holds is something else! Way too many magic places and so little time to see some of them....... thanks again 666

With this kind of warm weather, a wasting wed, I had to go there again to enjoy a nice day on Baldy. Started late, 10:45, with a sluggish propel to the ski hut after bit of drinking on wed the body did not want to stay on the rabbit mode! Huffy-puffy showed up again and I kept thinking I should only...

Well, I did get to see them closer as they were passing me by, thats how I found out what they were and I wanted be behind the wheel enjoying the crest ride, but then how often do you see them on the crest, it was a sudden surprise! By the time I realized I should have taken a closer shot they were ...

This is the best time of the year to visit the river: cool weather,no bugs, easy crossings, not too many people, lite on the trash, less water use. Time will run out when a big snow storm arrives and the river rocks and rolls. Then we will patiently wait for the summer time to go back again......666

Ultralight: Fail.

What? its the ultimate ultra lite, complements of the FS where ever they have placed them, it intrigues me that they are not used that much anymore. Hiking fast food(bars) has taken over, sad .....

The thing that intrigues me is how you control the heat-without a dial button- so you won't burn the food and not make the stove fill the surrounding area with smoke? How do you achieve constant optimum temp for what you cook at the moment? The one thing I know is the food tastes better on wooden he...

Hiking Jim, I think its time for you to rate this model: the heavy duty FS special campground stove. Since you claim to be the stove man, its time for you to give us a show of what you can do. You can choose what place, like Switzers, Idlehour, Spruce Grove etc. We will provide you with the menu an...

the view from 39 near East Fork River I know, there must be lots of pissed off mountain snow people out there for right now, so be patient, mother nature is unpredictable, you can have a white blanket cover Baldy soon. sorry.... Hell is not the only hot place, Baldy is expected to hit 60...... 666

I spotted them as I was exiting the forest going west near the Red Box area. I only managed to take pic the 2 of the 3, too slow of a cam.
I have seen the Porsche, GM caravans on the ACH, must be a test drive route, the cobras were out for a fun drive on the crest!

thanks for the holiday well wishes and wishing ya all happy, festive times!!!

we like to celebrate this:

I prefer the Henninger gate set up for the Cobb Estate. All of you 24hrs access crowd cry all you want but the days of civility has never existed, its been nothing but chronic trouble in this area and this gate project will help bring a little peace to the forest and the hood. Sun is out: open for b...

Here are some pics frm the trip, lots of pics of the floor in the Shortcut Cyn, part of the Silver Moc Trl that some people are inquiring about.. pics

The sooner this area gets locked down at night the better for the forest and the neighborhood. During the day civil crowds park quietly and enter the forest to enjoy themselves. At night a very disruptive, youngish, irresponsible crowd shows up and enters the forest for the sole purpose of conductin...
