Nice username :) welcome!

Woops sorry. I'm on trail, go ahead and post one if you want.

Welcome! What have been some of your favorite long trips?

Check out this jetliner captured on satellite near Idyllwild CA!

And I say good riddance to it :)

The other thing is, it depends on lake levels. In higher water, the lake starts to back up near the mouth of Stevens.

I think you misinterpreted me too. I'm saying the exact opposite of "Well, they have more money, so let them do whatever they want." Do you believe both of these? 1) Land ownership should give the owner a certain degree of control over how the land is used. 2) That right is not absolute...

I've been keeping an eye on the same gauge. What do we think the odds are that the Escalante is runnable at some point this spring?

Respectfully, that's a bad-faith argument and the sardonic tone is completely unwarranted. I'd expect better from a generally respectful and thoughtful place like BCP, and from a long-time/valued member like yourself. I think just about everybody except for the farthest-left fringe thinks that...

Paging @Jammer I've only been there twice, several years ago, and they were wet both times.

Mobile version works fine for me too.

I'm not sure I'd sleep on just my packraft. The surface is way to sticky to avoid trashing my quilt when I roll around in the night. But perhaps bringing 1/8" foam to lay on top of it would do the trick! Definitely worthy of an experiment. I'm in the 'excited newbie' stage of packrafting where...

Kitchen Cyn then, or perhaps Starlight. Never been up Starlight though.

Is that Mollie's Nipple in the background? In which case... Bullrush Gorge perhaps?

The Needles rangers weirdly lie about Druid Spring though...

Keep in mind, the survey's methodology really favors brands who have just a couple models rather than a dozen. So there might be plenty of TarpTents out there, but if they're all dispersed among ten models, they're gonna get lost in the shuffle as compared with Durston who really only has one...

When it comes to gear, I think this survey is the blind leading the blind. Most (though not all) PCT hikers are fairly new in their backpacking career, and it's difficult to do major gear/approach changes in the middle of a thru-hike. If this survey had been around when I did the AT, they would...

Looks like Grand Gulch near Government/Pollys

The good news: A friend of mine has done it. The bad news: he's not, strictly speaking, human. He's a really strong hiker (think 35+ mile days) and completely unphased by exposure, sketchiness, or general suckitude. I've twice tried to access this area to cross from Open Creek to Mountain Creek...

On one hand, this is excellent footage. On the other, he's overflying the Wilderness area by a whole lot less than 2,000 feet. I would certainly be pretty bummed if I were out in that wonderful piece of country and heard a two-seater droning overhead. From this person's commentary, he clearly...
