(since 1997, the granddaddy of gear forums - the original hangout for serious gear heads. In here, talk gear -- lightweight, ultralite, superlite, hyperlite, whatever lite. It's all in here.)
(e.g., lightweight concepts, bears, ethics, lite vs. heavy, shoes vs. boots, first aid kit vs. no first aid kit, light vs. hyperlight, your intellectual or spiritual musings, etc.)
(share experiences and practical advice for staying healthy & safe in the backcountry: e.g., personal preparations; maintenance of body parts; general safety tips.)
( discuss corresponding lite gear, backcountry ethics & your own practices & experiences (positive & negative); introduce your animal friends (photos, stories, etc. )
(Strategy, technique, and dialog for the "almost-over-the-hill" hiker. Still miss the scent of burning wool as your socks dried next to the campfire - you can reminisce here :-) Need compassion for your age-related aches & pains - or are you a retiring "Baby-Boomer" who needs help getting started - this is THE place.)
(whether cross country or in the mountains, "lightweight in the backcountry" is the way to go -- share your experiences, gear and advice with other backcountry cyclists).
(whether it's wild Cutthroat, stocked Rainbow or ??, fishing in the backcountry is an adventure - mix in a little cross-country, ultralight tackle, solitude and the result is AWESOME !!)
(what comes to mind is "lightweight portage" -- in this forum, share your equipment, techniques, adventures, experiences and advice with other paddlers !)
(winter, the magic time to be out in it - talk equipment, techniques, destinations, experiences, etc. for snowshoeing, non-snow hiking, cross-country skiing, snow camping, etc.)
