I fixed the video. Newbie error.

Honestly, I did still get a sweaty back, but I don't like dong the polk thing with a lot of ups and downs in the terrain. I still need to build some bracing bars for my sled so it doesn't flip or sway so easily.
I am actually 6'7" so normal pants don't quite cut it, but I will PM you anyways :-).
Very nice video. Finger Lakes looks like a very nice area. Congrats to you and the wife on new jobs. Maybe some hiking trips with your parish would be fun. Always feel closer to God outdoors. Take care,
Please keep them coming. Beautiful place out there.
Very nice!
Great video. I've only hiked the portion of the FLT in the Arctic-China and the Steam Mill SF but NY is full of these State Forest gems.
I don't know if the lean-to is in State Forest land but be careful with cutting standing trees if you are. Dead and down wood is free to use. Dead and standing isn't. (DEC regulations.)

Yeah, DEC regulations say "Use only dead and down wood for fires. Cutting standing trees is prohibited." Might seem like a fussy regulation but I can't argue that standing dead trees don't harbor the food source for woodpeckers, etc. Also, many designated campsites in the Adirondacks are getting more and more spacious as ignorant campers , who don't know the difference between dead and dormant gleefully drop and burn the trees surrounding the sites. I've been in sites in the Moose River Plains and along Powley Road that feel like camping in a clearcut.
Snow cover makes it more difficult to locate dry wood and standing dead can be hard to resist. I like to keep an eye out for easily accessible wood along the road or trail as I am approaching the likely stopping point for the night. Usually back-tracking a hundred yards or so brings you to unspoiled pickings of downed wood that the more lazy couldn't be bothered with. I camped at along the FLT in a blow-down area that would have provided wood for months of campfires.
