Definitely of interest
Thinking of doing the Swisha Loop in the second half of October next year

Sometimes I hop over the Delaware and ride the edge of PA
Allegheny mts?
From the looks of your posts, you have some really nice riding out there
Jersey out

O
I don't do endurance racing in Alaska
But I would like to be able to fatbike 100 mile rides in the middle of winter in New Jerseys pinelands

lots of people have been using Neos for years in Alaska. I use wool felt boots inside and non-insulated Neos for the outers. Its a good setup that does not restrict circulation at all.

I just got a pair Teva Chair 5 size 12
Too small with a pair of wool socks, have feeling 13's are gonna be too small too

I'm a size 11wide, have Schnees boot liners
What size Neos overshoes shoes should I get?

Woohoo!
Go east coasters!

jimmy dean sausage egg and cheese sammiches! now your talking my language!
great lookin country, just my speed too
run into any gators out there?

57 hours! you guys are animals
makes me realize i'll stick to touring

2 day 2 nighter turned into 1&1 due to wildfires

i hooked up with a couple of local fatbikers for a nice 20 mile ride thru the pinelands today, one gentleman seems to know the area quite well. The pinelands of nj make up 22% of the state. there literally must be thousands of miles of sand roads, firecuts and trails to explore. I just started a new job last week, but i do get 8 vacation days this year, dont know if i can take any this spring or not. i did see your post some time back about your adirondack ride, very nice. the adirondacks do seem like the perfect place for a fatbike, packraft type of tour, as you said , lots of water.  im going to look at the areas you are talking about, sounds great

too much too soon, ........
anyway, i did a short trial run this afternoon
a few miles biking, and about five river miles with moony on my denali llama
nice and stable, everything good
ill try to post back with an actual documented tour
possibly the end of summer or fall,
whenever i can get vacation
the new jersey pinelands is huge
consisting of over a million acres
lots of swamp, river crossings, and you can take
sand roads and trails longways across half the state
huge!
i also did 3/4 of the allgheney mountains loop with my brother last spring
oh well

hey bmike, I have all the national geographic topo maps for the adirondacks, what areas are you looking at? I did the adriondack park loop from adventure cycling a few years back, stealth camped most nights. maybe we could hook up if i can get the time?

just got an alpaca, i would like to do some of those snowmobile trails that lead across lakes kind of tour that jhl99 posted about someday

It just keeps gettin' better! Awsome film!

the 4 oz. of stuff you add to it is already grape flavored.
yeah, I'm gonna give it a try around here and see how it goes
before actually heading out

thanks mbeardsl,
I just ordered one
definitely deserves a shot
I'll report back after initial trial

Their web site said you would have to pump for 4 hours for a days supply of water.
I guess it's better than not having any water

hello everyone,
I've done a couple of road/gravel road week long thereabouts tours and have filtered or boiled water from streams for drinking.
what would you do to get fresh water on coastal islands?
would and msr water filter get the salt out of the water?
do they make desalination devices that are easily carried?
