    Gear question

    i don't have any good pics but my son brought a dozen potted hybrid chestnuts from local non-profit (American Chestnut Land Trust) home to plant. Problem is that they often live a few years and eventually succumb to blight.... long process

    Family!

    What about the fact that people may have to travel hours find rock formations to climb or multiple time zones to find ice to climb but most people have trees in their yards or at a friends place. Not to mention tree climbing can earn you money a lot easier than any rock or ice climbing. You’re...
