Wonder when the next "unprepared" rescue is going to happen.”

“somebodys going to piss and moan and call me an elitist (which im not, if youll read the basic skills thread), but i wish the huts werent there. they bring too many tenderfoots to the wilderness.”

“well you know we were all tenderfoots once. But my problem is they under play the hazards. Mt. Washington is lethal in bad weather.
and it just pays lip service.

Lakes of the Clouds is 92 years old. Hard to begrudge it's place in the history of the Whites.”

“yea, but i can still wish.”

“what would be a cool compromise is if they converted them all to self-service huts like at carter notch. its amazing how much the crowd disperses when ppl find out they have to fend for themselves in the wild”
