There’s nothing worse than after a long day of backpacking into camp, you realize you forgot a stove or fuel to cook your dinner.

I grew up a flatlander in New Jersey, where describing a geographical feature would be limited to the following: street, hill, woods, or the beach.

Skiing in the Northeast is known for icy slopes, overcrowded resorts, and bitter cold winter months, but we have to make do with what mother nature gives us.
