Wilderness conditions can change suddenly: While
believed accurate, weather conditions may change at any time. All
users should plan accordingly, including bringing flashlight, first aid
equipment, extra food, plenty of water and clothing. Weather
conditions may alter your plans; you should be prepared to spend an
unplanned night in the woods before entering the back country.
FIRE DANGER: LOW
Biting Insects: Black
flies have begun to emerge; mosquitoes, deer flies and/or midges
(no-see-ums) will be follow as the summer progresses. Minimize the
nuisance of biting insects by: wearing light-colored, long-sleeve
shirts and long pants; tucking shirt into pants; buttoning or rubber
banding sleeves at the wrist; tucking the bottom of pant legs into
socks; packing a headnet to wear when insects are thick; and using an
insect repellant with DEET, follow label directions.

Bear Vault Update - April 19th |
|
Monday, 21 April 2008 |
Dear HikeADKs.com Members - Just received an email from Jamie Hogan - at BearVault. Below is the message:
"Our first test lids had the bump a bit too stiff; it would be difficult pushing in the bumps on a cold morning. Our estimate of the new shipping date for the test lids is about 5 May.Anyone who frequents the Marcy Dam area with any bearvault model is at risk of this bear opening them. I hope to have the field testing complete by early June.
If the testing of this new lid is successful, we will accomodate you with a new unit. If the new testing is not successful and you frequent this area, I suggest you use another brand of canister and return the unit you have to the store where you purchased it. We continue to have no problems outside of this area with BV350/400s.
I hope this clears things up.
Jamie"
