Re: NPS - SPECIAL CAUTION for all hikers during the summer months.

Great list. I'll toss in a few things, too. I have a bandanna or 2. They are handy. I also have been experimenting with having a freezer bag with ice in it. I put a tshirt in there (and/or bandanna) and bring it along. When I begin to feel that heat, I'll put them on. I wrap the bandanna around my n...

Re: WANTED: OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS WHO REALLY KNOW HOW TO SURVI

Nice link rppp01a, I don't know about that Cody guy. (Goes barefoot all the time) I believe he'd have to make himself some shoes of some kind, in order to get around in the Superstitions, or go very far across the desert in the summertime, down here in the lower part of Arizona.

Re: Driving by the border

Perhaps now the root causes of the issue should be addressed.
