With all of this discussion, do any of you carry handguns into the backcountry? I understand not a good idea on National Parks, but I typically pack it in my truck on trips (don't ever get it out), but places like Dark Canyon seem like it would be a good idea to have one with all the Mountain...

I was kind of considering Dark Canyon this next weekend, ummmm, no.

Love biking that area.

Thanks for the info everyone.

This strikes quite a nerve with me. I say this while I'm about to pack up some Boy Scouts this weekend and take them to the San Rafael Swell for the first time. I've lost count how many times I've seen troops of Boy Scouts that lack any regard for nature rules, going off the trail, breaking...

I know you said there are many variations, but what are the average distances? Looking for more areas to mountain bike when I'm down there.

Sweet. I'll have to stop by and check them out.

Which kit did you buy?

Seriously, very cool. I learned to sew when I was younger with a combination of a home economics project in high school and the fact that my dad did automotive upholstery for a side career for quite a while. Did you make this with just a regular sewing machine? Or did you use an industrial type...

Is there any place in SLC that carries them where I can try them on? I know you can buy them at Backcountry.com, but they don't let you do the pick up thing anymore (from what I've heard) so hard to try them on.

I want a pair, but I have no idea what size I should be getting. I normally wear a 10.5-11 depending on the brand, but what have others found with the 5.10's? Do they fit true to size? Do you normally add 1/2 a size for neo socks?

That is pretty interesting/facinating. The only un-answered question I have is where his family is and why weren't they looking for him? The article states he had a nice up-bringing, but was he ever listed as a missing person??

I actually hadn't seen your video, but after watching it you didn't go up far enough. One more steep scramble up and that is where I got in trouble. Lots of stuff up there (storage grainaries, pit house, etc.). It's an awesome view.

Yeah, didn't feel like fighting it.

Good thing you didn't post any pictures of what you found in your scramble up under PB Potty; I received a $75 fine for having pictures of that stuff posted on my blog. This was after they said they wouldn't fine me over the phone (3 years after I had posted them), but they changed their mind...

Prepping a batch for the dehydrator right now. Going with us for the next 6 days!

Last June I was in Telluride for a work trip and on a previous trip I had ridden their free bike park up at Mountain Village (includes a free gondola ride up to the top of the mountain if you can believe that!) I was talking to one of my co-workers about the trail conditions and he suggested an...

I love seeing how people hike areas I've been to, but in different ways. Loved this TR and want to explore it the way you did.

$124.33!! Having the REI Visa makes a big difference. Use it and pay it off right away. If you bank with US Bank, the card will show up on your log-in because that is who the card runs through. I can easily xfer the money I spend on it from my checking account.

So my wife alene and her sister pinecone headed out of town this weekend for a two night trip to Canyonlands NP (Needles) and I was going to stay back and hang out with our little kids (1 & 4). I received a phone call from a friend in the neighborhood who also is a boy scout leader for a group...
