Hey everyone! I'm Dave. I love hiking as well as camping so I decided why not combine them? I've bought the majority of the gear I'll need and have done a good amount of research (which i will be continuing to do). My first trip will hopefully be this spring on the Monadnock Sunapee Greenway in New Hampshire. Before that I'm going to make a few one night excursions just to get accustomed to my gear. Just thought I would say hello instead of just lurking. (and I promise I'm not the horrible type of new guy Lori was describing)
