Tim Stanton<p>Just now returned from spending several days in Western Massachusetts. Such a beautiful area! On one of my hikes, I crossed over several picturesque streams. Each one had a wooden footbridge like this.

George Steffanos<p>🧵1/2<br>May 2, 1983, 42 years ago today: I woke up to the sound of freight trains. One after another, they came clattering up from the distant mountain range to the west, circled the woods around my tent, and churned off toward the eastern horizon. My tent was pitched in a small, grassy clearing on the summit of Frosty Mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northern Georgia.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/backpacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backpacking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/outdoors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outdoors</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/landscapephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landscapephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Georgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Georgia</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/forest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forest</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mountains</span></a></p>
George Steffanos<p>🧵1/2<br>May 2, 1983, 42 years ago today: At 4:20 p.m. on the afternoon of May 2, 1983 — a very warm day for early May — I was at the Visitor’s Center in Amicalola Falls State Park in north-central Georgia.

George Steffanos<p>🧵1/9<br>October 3, 1983: The beginning was remarkably easy. The path was wide, relatively rock-free, and climbed at a very gentle grade. It followed a bank of Katahdin Stream up to the base of a set of cascades, where it crossed over to the other bank. At this point, the trail became a bit steeper. Short side trails brought me to several overlooks of Katahdin Falls. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/backpacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backpacking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/hikingadventures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hikingadventures</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/landscapephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landscapephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maine</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/forest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forest</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mountains</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AppalachianTrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppalachianTrail</span></a></p>

JaakkoThe most demanding ski tour I’ve ever done was in April 2019 at Paistunturi Wilderness Area, Finland. Everything started well, but the weather took a quick turn, with temperatures rising well above freezing, causing the snow to melt rapidly. Our initial plan was to hike through the area and end up in Utsjoki, a small village just 100 km north of our starting location. However, we had to turn back midway through the tour as it seemed we would not have enough snow to ski on. We rushed back to our starting location in a frenzy, wading through melting snow and icy streams of water. It was the toughest hike, but at the same time, one of the best!<br>

George Steffanos<p>🧵1/4<br>July 9, 1983: One nice feature of hiking the Appalachian Trail is that you get to see the world — Damascus (Virginia), Glasgow (Virginia), Duncannon (Pennsylvania), Manchester (Vermont), Berlin (New Hampshire)… Today, in Ashby Gap, I finally got to see Paris.

JaakkoI hate when my pulkas fall over, especially when I’m hiking alone. I have to take off my backpack, unstrap my harness, remove my camera (which I usually carry ready to use), and ski to the pulkas to turn them over. It takes time, is annoying, and can be frustrating. Luckily, this time it happened on level ground, but it has occurred on slopes, making it not only more annoying but also potentially dangerous, with a risk of losing gear.<br>

George Steffanos<p>🧵1/3<br>August 17, 1983: Three miles later, I was at Finerty Pond. The next good water on the trail was more than eight miles ahead, so I settled for bad water and pitched my tent for the night. I was not about to drink pond water without boiling it for several minutes. I was forced to drink hot chocolate with my meal. Mmmm, mmmm.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/backpacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backpacking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/outdoors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outdoors</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/landscapephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landscapephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Massachusetts</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/forest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forest</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mountains</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AppalachianTrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppalachianTrail</span></a></p>
George Steffanos<p>🧵1/3<br>June 11, 1983: I hiked thirteen book miles of the AT the previous day over Mount Rogers and the Grayson Highlands. I had intended for that to be an easy day as I savored those last giants and prepared myself for the upcoming big mileage push. However, having hiked so many extra miles off of the Appalachian Trail while roaming the highlands, I was exhausted.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/backpacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backpacking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/outdoors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outdoors</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/landscapephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landscapephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/virginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>virginia</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mountains</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AppalachianTrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppalachianTrail</span></a></p>
El Perro Negro<p>I can buy this amazing cheap and lightweight (26 grams) BRS-3000T camping stove here in Spain for a mere €8! Incredible value. Works well too.</p><p>BUT - it's not very durable. I accidentally put a boot on it a few days ago (just a light touch) and the titanium legs collapsed. Broken. My fault, but a warning to all that relying on this stove for a multi day trip might not be wise. Take a backup. It's not very durable and needs to be handled with great care.</p><p><a href="https://shmg.online/tags/backpacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backpacking</span></a> <a href="https://shmg.online/tags/camping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>camping</span></a> <a href="https://shmg.online/tags/mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mountains</span></a></p>

JaakkoMy frozen home somewhere near Halti Fjell, Norway, in 2023, during my six-week solo ski tour. For next winter, I’m planning to upgrade from what I call this ‘coffin-style’ tent to a dome. One of the biggest reasons is space—it’s nearly impossible to cook safely inside this tent during a storm.<br>
