Sub 24 Overnight Harriman NY

[jstaines]

I'll be at Silvermine Lake parking tomorrow at 9 am if anyone else is up for an overnighter. People can day hike (well, snowshoe) a long-ish or short-ish loop or hike in only ~1.4mi to either Brien shelter area or Stockbridge and make it a primarily camping experience, maybe play around with new gear.

I have a pair of snowshoes and poles with snow baskets to lend if somebody is lacking.

Conditions won't be as interesting as those experienced by brutalguyracing, but I'm just tickled pink to be out on snowshoes and camping in the white world again!

Awesome! Stockbridge sounds great, but up for anything! See you there!

[cmoulder]

Great!

Very well, we can make the call for Stockbridge now so that anyone who is unable to meet us in the morning can come later in the day and hike straight in to camp. I'd suggest the area just a bit north at the "cave" where there are many good hammock possibilities.

[jstaines]

Sounds good. Love the cave area.

I can’t get away Friday but would love to read about your cold weather sleep system. I’m good to 20 degrees or a bit lower but that’s with a ginormous 20 degree TNF sleeping bag that takes up half my pack, leaving little room for extra layers. Waiting for a new TQ.

What time do you hang around til on Saturday? I may run into you if I can get out early for a day snowshoe loop to Brien.

Bob you crazy cat!

If you are around on Saturday I may see you at Stock ridge caves.

Not sure when we'll be breaking camp, but I think we'll not be in too big of a rush so might meet you guys on the way down or at the parking lot. And might feel like joining you if you're popping up to Brien!

For winter? OR Crocodiles

I use Endurance shorties but they're no longer made.

I use the OR Croc’s as well.

I prefer the fit of the MLD UL gaiters. Lighter as well. They don’t have zippers and do require you to put them on before your boots, so not ideal for deep winter.

This weekend fell apart for me. I am packed to go today but the snow closed my office yesterday and all my client appointments shifted to an already overbooked today..

I’ll be far from relaxed this weekend.

These are the or gaiters I have
Do yours have the lackluster strap buckle thingy up top to seal it off
Seems like that will break and has almost no adjustment
A cinch cord would be much better
I just got back from rei I picked up 2 new pairs
To see if they are any better
A set of black diamond front point gaiters and a set of kahtoola levagaiter GTX
Will report back
