Thinking of going to the start tomorrow with my kid to check it out.

Is it mass chaos with crowds unsuitable for a little kid? Or is it spread out and calm enough to go see the dogs and mushers and watch them take off?

I've been reading a lot of older books on winter travel, winter camping, traplines, exploration, etc.

Quite a few of them make mention of using high-fat, calorie dense fruit cake as a trail snack. I'm going on a winter hiking trip soon, using a pulk so I can carry a bit more, and wanted to try it out myself.

Does anyone know of any stores or bakeries in the area that sell fruitcake?

At my intersection so far:

  • The rear wheel drive charger that sped out of a stop only to do a 180 and face the wrong way on the opposite street.
  • The 5 drivers (approximate) that didnt slow down for the stop sign and have decided to substitute honking for braking.
  • The idiot with a 12x12 section of clear glass on his windshield sticking his head out to see traffic.

My child will turn 1 come August.

I've been trying to come up with a safe and fun introductory trip with the family to celebrate and am looking for feedback and advice from others.

My kid can sit still in a pack, or bike seat, canoe for about 30-45 minutes before going stir crazy. Because of that I thought hiking would be a better option which really limits where we can go.

My first thought is getting an overnight permit for Eagle Mountain. We can hike that trail then camp near Whale Lake. Otherwise maybe an in and out on the Border Route Trail on the east side somewhere near Pine Lake?

I'll be carrying the kid and some gear on my back, will have a small front pack as well, and my wife w

It's been roughly a year since I've taken over as a mod here. In that time I've tried my best to foster discussions and make this the sub for detailed hammock camping discussions. Though personal time has been short and I still havent gotten to creating a wiki/faq page. Yes you should get a underquilt!

It seems every summer though, we get inundated with posts of people hanging out in Eno hammocks in the park. While I can appreciate lounging in a park and enjoy it myself, I'm not interested in seeing countless pictures like that, and also r/Hammocks exist for that.

So now I am asking the sub for feedback. Do we want the single picture rule to continue? Do we want to expand the description

Hello to all weather enthusiasts!

I've been spending a lot of time on the site, trying to absorb as much information as possible and am starting to suffer from analysis paralysis.

Here is what I am looking for:

Standard temp, humidity, dew point
Wind speed and direction
Rain
Barometer
UV ratings maybe?
Web cam for time lapses
Pushed to raspberry Pi then to web

I'm in northern MN, temps can get down to -40F so I want to make sure the station can survive our winters. Initially I was looking at a Tempest but they can only handle temps down to -35F, and I've heard bad things about their rain readings.

Ideally my setup would look like this: Weather station &
