15th Annual Spring MAHHA 2021 NEW LOCATION

**Dutchette** · 04-21-2021, 11:42

Hiking. Backpacking. Exploring. Cheeseburgers.

“When my friend invited me on a backpacking trip for the first time back in 2011, I decided to document my foray into the world of backpacking and hiking on YouTube. Little did I know, backpacking and video production would become an obsession, and along with it, a group of supportive subscribers would encourage me to continue the journey.

My primary interest is all things backpacking, with an emphasis on great views, unique terrain, and challenging mileage. Lately, I have begun to work on developing an ultralight backpacking system and weight conscious mentality. My main stomping grounds are along the east coast, mainly up and down the Appalachian mountain chain, from Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, through the Shenandoah Mountains, Pennsylvania, New York’s Catskills, Vermont’s Green Mountains, and my personal favorite, the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
I enjoy backpacking throughout the four seasons, including snowshoeing in New England and winter overnighters.”

A huge round of applause and thank you goes out to Sintax77 for his donation of his “It’s Cheeseburger Time” classic pullover hoodie $38.99 and 11oz matching mug $14.99! I believe Dutch would agree that it is always cheeseburger time.

This post was last, but not least, in our grand raffle and it would be awesome if he could get some likes and follows for his excellent (and very up to date) videos and reviews. Love love love them!!!

We may have some on hand. LOL Safe travels and enjoy the jolly flight from the Best Coast.

We think alike! Alex and I are at the Hosack Run as well. See you at the local watering hole.

He is the defender of the sap lines, lover of the bassoon melody line, and a fellow Gorge Rat, but you may know him as The Maple King.

Yes, The Maple King himself has donated some tech shirts for those hikers, runners, and backpackers who like to wick sweat during a workout. If you know him, you will know how cool this donation is. If you have not seen any of The Maple King’s videos via Shug and the Hickory Brother’s shenanigans, then you’ll have to pop on over to http://themapleking.com/hello-world/ or http://themapleking.com/themapleking/ and laugh with them. They are my kind of lighthearted silly.
Thank you, sir, for your generous donation in support of the trail community. We are grateful for the tech tee-shirts, novelty stickers, and comedy. All hail The Maple King.

Anyone else got a hankerin’ for some pancakes with authentic VT maple syrup?

If I don't win one I'll need to know where to buy one!

Dutchette: I have not volunteered anything yet. Is there something I should bring, food or cooking equipment wise?

Thank you for asking. We have a bundle of people attending and I'm thinking more sides or drinks would be an incredible help. I did open up some "sides" slots for you (and others) to put your name in. They are highlighted in yellow.

Thanks being so kind to ask. See you tomorrow!! Whooo Buddyyyy)))))

Glad I didn't have my heart set on it, 3 of us tested positive for Covid this week

Hey hammock peeps! If you missed me at MAHHA and didn’t get a commemorative pen and still want one, I have just a few left. Drop me an email to [email protected] and I can ship to you.

I did. Had a great time.

For my very first group hang - this was a great experience, and definitely something I want to do again. It was amazing meeting folks in person that I’ve only read on this forum and finding out that they are not only just as awesome as I thought - they’re even cooler than that.

Can’t wait for the next one.
