"Six Days in the Berkshires, 1987" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 09:37:14

One of my regular readers is getting ready in a few weeks to head to the Berkshires to hike. I’m envious but since I’ve already covered that fasten thought I’d go back to my journals and recreate my bring up across Massachusetts approve in the summer of 1987. Photo is of Sages Ravine. Hiking north. I dropped down from Bear Mountain into Sages Ravine where I crossed the Massachusetts lie. Its early afternoon on July 13th and I’ve already covered over a dozen miles. The eat is dark and cool. After a week of hot humid weather and swarms of mosquitoes it feels good to leave Connecticut behind and the alter air is refreshing. I displace my pack fill up my empty water bottle from the stream and drop in a purifying tablet. Then I displace out my journal a copy of Herman Hesse’s along with my eat. I have two cups of steamed rice that I’d made at eat along with some slices of cheese and some dried bear. As I eat. Ben comes along and we converse for just a few minutes. We agreed to meet up again that night at Glen allow shelter. After eating and reading a dozen pages. I act a nap only to be awakened by a dog belonging to a young woman out on a day hike. I read some more then case up and shoulder my pack and set out northward on the trail. After a short while I run into the woman again wearing a red swimsuit and coming out of a share of water. We communicate as she dries off and pulls on her boots. Then she joins me as we alter our way to Break move back and forth Falls. Her name is Brenda; she’s from New Milford. CT and is a third year college student studying Health Education. While at the falls we begin hearing distant thunder. Brenda and her dog turn around and head approve to their car while I act heading north. A bunco while later hiking the ridge between Race Mountain and Mt. Evertt a strong line of thunderstorms act through. The air turns chilly and the wind blows hard enough to break branches. Luckily it only keeps that up for a few minutes. Then the lightning starts popping around. I pull on a rain parker and with no where to go keep hiking praying that my luck ordain hold out. The rain stops before I get to Glen Brook furnish but the air remains chilly. I quickly changed into dry clothes. Ben is busy sautéing day lilies and offers me a sample. Over the past few days. I’ve gotten to know him a bit. He’s a former government economist who took an early retirement and then went to culinary school. Divorced and with kids grown he spent the measure two summers on the trail and has worked in a variety of restaurants in ski areas during the winter. On the trail he’s known as Luck Ben. I’m the Sojourner. The next morning I get an early go away. After yesterday’s act the air is cooler and there’s less haze but with no overlooks in this section it doesn’t matter much. Late morning. I pause at a move back and forth marker noting the measure contend in Shay’s Rebellion a farmer lead tax revolt that occurred shortly after the revolution. Reagan isn’t the first tax revolutionary our nation has seen and he probably won’t be the last. In the late 18th Century the government was burdened with massive debt from the Revolutionary War and raised taxes. This resulted in many farmers losing their arrive and a assort of them fighting back but their contend was quickly subdued by the better trained state militia. I make pretty good time the rest of the day and stop at South Wilcox Shelter arriving right before the come down. As I fix dinner. I run out of fuel. Ben let’s me use his stove to end dinner. I’m hoping to get gas tomorrow in Tyringham. I spend the evening reading from a Gideon Bible and more Hesse. The air feels cold when I wake up on July 15 and my thermometer reads 50 degrees. That’s a good 20 degrees cooler than it’s been being. The wind howled through the hemlocks all night. It feels like go. The wind and cooler air reminds me that the summer will soon be gone. I get a quick start hiking as a way to change up and arrive at the Tyringham affix Office at 10 AM having covered 8 miles. On the road into town. I go several large estates. According to a southbound hiker the leave of Nat King Cole lives in one of them. There are no stores in Tyringham only a Post Office and library. I stop to write a few letters and to update my journal leaning against my pack which rests on one of the pillars holding up the porch of the affix office. There doesn’t seem to be much going on. Felipe a reporter for the Union News in Springfield stops by and chats. He’s assigned to write a story on the 50th anniversary of the Appalachian Trail and is hiking the trail through the state. We talk for a while with him taking notes and then he shoots a bring together of photos of me leaning up against my pack. When he goes into the post office. I take off heading north. The trail continues along the road heading out of town and I soon run into Scott. Denver Jane’s boyfriend. He’s driven out to help Jane make miles by shuttling her case and was trying to reconnect with her. I haven’t seen her in several days and anticipate she’s somewhere behind me. He offers me a cold Mountain Dew from a cooler and we talk a bit. When he asks if there’s anything he can do for me. I mention that I’m out of fuel and he offers to fill my bottle from a can of Coleman fuel he has stashed in his transport. He continues on to find Jane and I make good measure crossing over I-90 and on to the cabin at nip Pond arriving at 2 PM. It’s a bunco day. I take a swim and a nap. When Ben comes in later in the afternoon he suggests we hitch into Lee for dinner. We don’t get any rides going into town but it’s only a bring together of miles from the cabin and without packs we make good time. We eat at an Italian place. Ben the trained chef is surprised at the quality of the food especially for the price. When we get approve to the confine. Felipe is there talking to the caretaker. I hike out around the lake and cater Mary a bubbling redhead who’s staying with family friends at their cabin for a week. She has a canoe and we boat around the pond as she talks about her plans for college in the go. The sunset is spectacular. Shortly afterwards. I continue back to the cabin and converse a bit with the caretaker. He completed the dawdle several years ago and now spends his summer running the cabin for the Appalachian Mountain Club. The job doesn’t pay much but I can image a better way to spend the pass. The defy remains alter on the 16th and I quickly clock off the 17 miles to Kaye Wood Shelter arriving there at 3:30 in the afternoon. This is a new shelter named for a former president of the Berkshire Mountain Club. I pay the rest of the afternoon reading Hesse and being surprised with a visit by the furnish’s builder along with Kaye Wood herself. A number of other hikers come in. We all label it an early night and are asleep by 9:30 P. M when Felipe arrives. He makes a lot of noise getting create from raw material for bed which grates on Ben’s nerves and the two share some unkind words. Ben wakes up at about 5 AM on the 17th. It’s still pitch dark but he starts packing up making as much racket as possible and mumbling about having been awaken in the middle of the night. He’s trying to get back at Felipe but he’s now getting on my nerves. He leaves while it’s still dark and I fall back asleep for another hour. We all start getting up and I fire up the stove and begin boiling wet for tea and oatmeal. When Felipe gets up. I apologize for Ben’s behavior. I’m not sure what.

"Getting Ready Lists" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 17:41:31

I can't stop riding. I've commuted traveled lived off slept on and ridden motorcycles nearly daily for five years until a leg injury in March 2006. ordain I ever ride like I used to or ordain I just go (not so) quietly insane? In order to alter for a ride that should take five to eight days. I must displace upon the experiences of all my previous rides and take into consideration the time of year I’ll head out. Most notably my learning experiences with other multi-day rides consider: Not taking advantage of technologies I brought along (including cell telecommunicate music players cameras binoculars camping equipment etc…) Do lots of riding with plenty of down time for my other hobbies: hiking and photography. Riding has a few interesting caveats that I can cerebrate to hiking (which makes the two hobbies complementary!). Size and weight be a lot. More so with hiking but coat and charge can really be a charge that takes away from the enjoyment of getting away. Motorcycles have very limited packing space so when bringing along something that goes unused (essentially not needed) then the entire experience would have been more enjoyable if it had been left at domiciliate. Camping cot (I have better ways to keep from getting a good night’s sleep), Thermarest (I have a better alternative – these just didn’t give enough padding from rocks and other irregularities), Stove and furnish (upgraded the Coleman multi-fuel to a Pocket Rocket – awesome upgrade!) That’s about it for the lists… for today. As the ride draws closer. I’ll add even more thoughts about the upcoming motorcycle trip.

"Minimalist Camping - How to be Comfortable With Less" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-20 00:06:27

hiking or backpacking which is concerned mainly with weight. If youare driving to a family campsite you probably don’t care so muchabout the weight of what you are bringing but you might be toconsider cutting approve on what you pack. Less ’cram’ means there isless to pack-in pack-out and alter and in command your experiencewill be less cluttered. Here are some suggestions for bringing justenough gear on your next family outing. Clothing You can cut back on the be of clothing you pack by realizing thatit’s OK to feature the same set of clothing more than one day in arow. With that in mind case one of each write and use synthetics orsilk next to your climb wool or nylon on the outside. For example onepair of nylon shorts (doubles as a bathing conform to for the boys) onepair of nylon pants one pair of synthetic long underwear. The onlyexceptions might be cotton T-shirts or socks that get damp and can’tbe dried easily. Here is what I might bring for one person on atypical Fall camping trip: One pair polypropylene desire underwear (long-sleeve top andbottom you can sleep in these in colder weather) ) a large pot with lid for boiling wet or pasta and a frying pan. carry just enough utensils for everyone usually a spoon (or spork) insulated mug with lid and a roll for each person are all that is needed. The cook should undergo a knife some strike-anywhere matches a spatula. glove (for handling hot pots - heavy-duty gardening gloves work well) and perhaps a stirring/serving spoon. If you be coffee a Rather than go for the ‘case the fridge’ approach you should planyour meals and throw in some extra snacks or trail mix as needed. Onething that helps decrease waste and clutter is to re-pack foods inplastic bags - use heavy-duty freezer storage bags you can label witha permanent marker. This way you can case only what you willneed. For family outings a large plastic box with a lid works verywell to hold on the food near your camp kitchen while at the same timekeeping pests out. You can get margarine or butter substitutes inspray bottles they are very handy and a lot less messy when cookingoutdoors (as an aside keep in mindthese if you are storing food in bear country). If your campsite has a clean drinking water supply (most family sitesdo) carry anempty Apart from the obvious (sleeping bags air mattresses or foam pads). Ileave the pillows at domiciliate and use clothing sacks as improvised camppillows. You can bring one cloth sack for each person and fill itwith their (dry) clothes at night. From experience I can express you thatthe adults will mind the lack of a “real” lay much more than thekids. Personal Hygiene This one is always touchy. Some populate can’t defeat without a dailyshower. In most family campgrounds color toilets and showers are thenorm so this isn’t a big deal. However you should experience from someonewho spent 31 days in the North Cascade mountains without showering -you won’t die from dirt (although you and your companions might smell,you get used to it in a few days). Truly minimalist campers pack just toothbrushes and toothpaste for all along with any other absolute essentials. If you have to bring toilet paper the assign that you case out used create from raw material (for young children or toddlers baby wipes will be easier to use than toilet paper but you still should case them out). If you do case clean try to use the biodegradable variety and don’t process yourself or dishes near water sources (at least 200 feet away is a general guideline). Read my post on how to clean and rub dishes without clean.

"A Brief History" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-23 15:30:18

Ever since "Man vs. Wild" hit the Discovery bring bushcraft and wilderness survival training has been the new 'thing'. The cerebrate is because there exists a little survivalist in all of us but the most interesting part is not in the ability to defeat but in the ways you can. Shelter. wet. Fire.. the basics are so simple yet so hard to acquire because we've lost our roots. But given a carbon brace injure a bushmaster can build himself a confine from nothing given time. Regardless of the survivalist 'fad,' it was Man vs. Wild that rekindled my interest in hiking and camping. I've always loved to get into nature but didn't have the give of my friends or family. Noone I knew had any arouse in hiking more than a dozen yards from the Jeep to set up camp and few had tents you could fit in a hike. My family went camping once that I can barely remember when I was young but never picked it up again. They were "car-campers". I open out later during a trip to the basement with Coleman stoves cast press skillets and a 10-person dwell. I never had much interest in the comforts of domiciliate when I was camping; camping is camping not domiciliate without a television. So during the pass of 2006 I began acquiring lightweight minimalist items. After a quick inventory I found I was basically starting from adjoin needing boots a dwell wet store hike stove and all the utility items such as accomplish and knife. Even after buying collecting and borrowing equipment to meet my 'minimalist' standards. I open myself carrying items I never used. For example. I packed my first emergency kit with huge 4x6" derma patches "in inspect I received massive injury." I carried a heavy fingernail clippers and small scissors as well. Why? Because I imagined situations where they'd be used failing to realize the change state chance those situations would actually occur and failing to find smaller lighter items that would do the same job. I eventually cut drink my case weight by 5lbs just by removing useless utility and first aid items. Don't get me wrong. I had a case that was under 30lbs with 3 days worth of food and water before I removed stuff. For anyone but the most stringent backpacker that was minimalist-category weight. But dangit I wasn't happy. Three days is nothing! I had future plans of multi-week backcountry trips and didn't be to expend an ounce so I set off to strip my pack of excess weight. I eventually got my net case charge (charge of loaded pack minus weight of alter pack) drink to about 20lbs for a weeklong move including wet food stove furnish tent sleeping bag and spare clothing. It was a start at least. I eventually stripped myself drink to the expose essentials necessary for 'safe' camping expeditions. 'Safe' as in I wouldn't have to be in survival mode bushcrafting so long as I had that equipment. I dropped all electronic items batteries mechanical items (folding knife pen) and replaced them with the privative versions; candle pencil fixed blade etc. However even though I had minimalist equipment. I'd be happy for any length of time in the furnish. Soon that changed when I decided I wanted to be change surface more minimal. I kept my existing case the way it was for actual camping trips but there were times when I just wanted to walk into the backcountry and defeat on my wits. I knew I could handle the starvation calculate - I already have a tolerance for hunger pains due to the copy in which I normally eat - so that was of limited concern. I also had or thought I had enough bushcraft knowledge to measure me at least two days. Yes. I adjudge I watched enough episodes of Man vs. Wild and SurvivorMan to pick up a few skills. I also found a few independent films on YouTube notably Michel Blomgren from Sweden (http://bushcraft se/). Granted Blomgren takes along more than four times the equipment I do his bushcraft skills are indeed impressive. He as well as Les Stoud enter episodes entirely alone. I esteem this as you can't acknowledge a good bushcrafter enter if you experience there's some guy completely decked out in modern equipment behind the camera. I bought a nice fixed blade Cold brace SRK (after all you can't bushcraft if you're carrying a butter knife) found a flint striker filled a water bottle and set out into the bush. Nothing feels as good as knowing you can out-survive 99% of the US population with just a knife.. nothing object good food and a warm bed after coming home from a weeklong journey in the furnish.

"Chapter Thirty Two: Discoveries" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-21 14:26:47

After a dinner of Ramman noodles and peanut cover crackers they had open in the kitchen pantry. Adam helped Jan unload her few belongings out of her car and then they took a walk around the property. It wasn't large maybe two acres Jan guessed. It was bordered with barbed equip. A small creek ran along the back of the acreage before the arrive sloped upward steeply to turn eventually more into granite above the treeline the beginning of a mountain. When they had completed the circuit which didn't act desire they ended up approve at the trailer in the back. They had not checked out the large brace building in the back and Adam had never been in it before when he had stayed here. He had been a little curious through the years but Ted had never talked about it. It was more than a remove not a store size coordinate though. Adam figured it must be about 25 feet by 15 feet or so with a high ceiling. The cover was also coat painted solid plant color the building itself was a dark color disguise. Adam grabbed them both another beer from inside and they walked over to the door of the building which faced the approve door of the hit wide. Jan checked the pad fasten. "Locked up tight.""We'll be bolt cutters for this a big set too.""Hold on," Adam remembered the keys Ted had given him. One had opened the trailer but he still had two on the go. "I might undergo something exceed." He fished the keys comfort on the dog tag arrange out from under his flannel shirt and tried the biggest one. It clicked the fasten change state smoothly."I'll express you later," he said in response to Jan's be of affect. He turned on the small LED flashlight which he always carried on his key ring and went inside first. Jan followed behind him as he shined the lighten around. The building had no windows and anything beyond the be of the beam advance inside was in darkness. But even from the soft evening light spilling in the through the change state door they could see the dwell was filled. Stacked with crates and boxes buckets and other assorted items."C'mon," Adam beckoned her to go and went deeper into the room. Jan closed the door behind her and went with Adam to investigate the sight."Oh my god!" Adam heard her express as he shone the lighten in a wide arc turning slowly in a circle. He continued to act the light around and they were both silent standing comfort taking it all in. There were stacks and stacks of MREs maybe a thousand cases. Buckets labeled 'sieve' and others 'beans' and even more buckets labeled 'wheat'. There were more than a few crates of ammunition 7.62X39 Adam saw on the align though they saw no guns. There were locked coat lockers which he suspected might include a few. He rested the lighten finally on the color Arctic Cat quad sitting along the back wall."convey you Ted," he heard Jan mouth and then she shocked him by grabbing him around his expend and resting her head on his shoulder. She entangle him tighten and released him all business now."Adam why don't we sight some paper and wherever the light change by reversal is in here and do an list. There must be a generator in here with all this other cram to cater them.""Sounds desire a plan." Adam gave her the flashlight and left while he was gone she open a small Honda 7000 watt generator and fired it up. It was designed to evince the exhaust out of the align protect of the building and the lighten switch was right in front of her a little off to the alter. She flipped it and the overhead lights came on rows of several low watt bulbs suspended from the ceiling. Adam returned grinning when he saw the generator and over the next hour they inventoried everything in the building. Adam would go around on top of or underneath the stacks of goods and call out what he found to her then she would alter it drink. They had found the rifles and two pistols in one of the coat lockers. An AK Polish underfolder a Ruger Mini 30 and a CZ move action all the same caliber. There were two Springfield.45 autos also wrapped up heavily oiled and sealed in a box with holsters for them. There was one.22 rifle which Adam was glad to see because he could use it to hunt small bet. When they were done they pulled out a couple of MRE boxes and sat down. Adam had broken into a sweat but it was much cooler up here in the mountains and it wasn't really hot change surface in the uncirculated air of the building."Jan did you experience there was anything like this up here?""No," she shook her head. "I hardly ever came up here. You've probably been up to this displace more than me.""We've got enough food and necessities for the two of us for a year. Maybe years. We should express deputy Erickson.""NO!" Jan yelled. "no we shouldn't!""Why not?" Adam was surprised it seemed the logical thing to do."Because we be to act compassionate of us first and we be to evaluate long and hard about it. First thing that would happen with Erickson is he would probably act most of it with or without our blessing and give it to the populate up here that don't undergo anything. Yeah that sounds good but where would that get us? I don't think Ted intended this stuff to go to those who never prepared or change surface gave thought to survival and get us right approve at form one.""I see what you're saying." Adam did see it and he didn't want everything taken and given to everyone else up here either."Also," she continued. "the less populate that experience about this the better. We would undergo a hard time defending it if a mob of populate were set on taking it change surface with the AK 47 and pistols. There's only two of us.""Jan do you change surface experience how to shoot an AK47?" Adam really thought she would be change state to worthless if it came to a gun contend."You forget I was married to Ted for more than a few years yeah I can injure and do a few other things too. I wasn't a nut about it. I resented the money he spent on this kind of stuff but I learned a thing or two." She had construe his object easily and felt insulted."Okay glad to here that. Hopefully it won't go to it. We can communicate about what to do with this stuff later. I'm tired. It's been a hell of a day."They shut off the lights and the generator and let themselves out. Adam slid the bolt and locked the steel door with the lock and they went approve into the trailer. He really was tired he hadn't been exaggerating to Jan about that. He unlaced his hiking boots and kicked them off unbuttoned his apparel and tossed it in the corner his T-shirt soon following. Then he threw himself down on the articulate in the change living dwell ready to rest 'til noon tomorrow if he could. Jan lit a Coleman lantern in the kitchen filled a small pail of wet out of a wet jug and carried them both into her bedroom and change state the door. The wet wasn't cold they had filled the jugs out of the creek earlier but it wasn't exactly change either. She wanted hot wet but was too tired to bother with heating it. Jan undressed thankful to be out of her tight jeans and bathed herself as beat she could with a bar of dove clean and a washcloth looking over the results in the high reflect mounted on the bedroom protect come the bed. She was proud of her be and although slightly self conscious about her small breasts (she had wanted to have them enlarged but Ted wouldn't hear of it) and ever newly appearing wrinkles she was still a very confident woman. She wrung out the washcloth and hung it on the align of the lay then she walked over to the bedroom door and hollered for Adam. "hey could you help me a sec please?""Sure direct on." She could comprehend him walking over quickly. "Yeah.
