It seems the rules for camping in the backcountry are:

• You must be a through-hiker hiking for two or more consecutive days.

• Camping is limited to one night

• Ten Persons per campsite.

• Self contained stoves are permitted; ground fires, charcoal stoves and grills are prohibited.

If you can satisfy the above then you have to adhere to the following rules:

Hikers may not camp:

• Within 100 feet of any stream or water source

• Within 0.5 mile of an established roadway

• Within 200 feet of another camping party

• From 0.5 mile south of Blue Mountain Lake Road to a point 1

I live in the Heights and plan on going into the city for the rest of the week until Sunday. All the streets I've driven by so far have alternate side parking on either Thursday or Friday so I can't leave it there without risk getting towed. What's the cheapest parking near one of the PATH stations? Thanks!

I was thinking about getting a smoker and then having the exhaust go directly out one of the windows (possibly with a fan or a small piece of ductwork). I know this is a crazy idea, but I love BBQ and it would make me happy at a level nearly comparable to getting married or having a kid. Anyone have or know of a setup that works? Would I be able to get an electric smoker to pull this off? Thanks!

I'm a 30yo living and working in NJ/NYC and would like to get a pair of shoes that will look good in most settings. In work I'm usually either in a cubicle or at jobsites as an engineer/project manager in construction. Out of work I'm usually at friend's homes or bars. For a while I've been thinking about getting a pair of Amber Iron Rangers, but lately I've been thinking I might be better off with shoes instead of boots since I don't need the ankle support, rarely have to trudge through mud, and never really liked the affectation of rolling up the cuffs on my jeans.

What's a good pair that will go well with jeans as well as chinos?

Initially I thought about getting either the [Wolverin

Ive had the Note 3 for 2 months and lately its started dying suddenly and when i turn it back on the battery is dead. Any suggestions or ideas? http://imgur.com/bXMD2OT

I'd like to go on a 3 day trip (possibly with my dog, but maybe not depending on the location and the trail). I would go with friends, but none of them have the requisite gear and don't seem to have the desire either. I've gone camping many times in the past and all but one time have camped with other people. The one time was an overnight trip I did and I really enjoyed the solitude and the tranquility.

What are some 3 day trails in the tristate area that both have great scenery and aren't too difficult? I'm in great shape and can regularly run over ten miles and lift a lot of weights, but my fiancée worries that something will happen and I'll be left to die out in the wilderness.

On that

It was ordered back in March and I'm still waiting. The website they gave me to check status hasn't updated once yet and still says data unavailable, and every time I contact them they push the date back further. Are there any big delays that I'm not aware of or just shitty luck?

My cousin works on Newark Ave and she said that there was a loud boom and it blew out windows. The area is now blocked off, but I haven't heard anything on the news yet. Anyone know anything?

Update: No news confirmation yet, but my cousin said her coworker saw a pipe bomb go off on Newark Ave. It had been in a suspicious bag, and then it went off before the police were able to get there.

This will be my first pack in decades (last one was a a cheap Coleman external frame from when I was a kid). I realize its a huge pack compared to the other options out there, but I figure I can get more use out of it that way and hopefully go with this one pack for decades to come. My uses? Here they are however silly you might think they are:

• when not camping/hiking I will use it to carry my Javelin 21 (parachute rig weighing around 35lbs) to dropzones along with helmet and other gear.

• Car camping with friends, where the campsite is 3-5miles on foot from the cars and we're bringing lots of heavy wet food and drinks.

• Eventually section camping the AT

• Eventually to fill it with m
