“Black Friday” is coming, it’s true, but we are here to save you from it if you’ll let us. Here’s the idea: Instead of getting trampled to death in some mall, spend a few minutes on our site, order a gift certificate, then take Friday off and go hiking. In fact, after that extra large monstrosity of a meal you’ll eat Thursday, you’ll probably need a […]
Our association with the SOLO School of Wilderness Medicine has gone very well. The feedback we’ve gotten on Facebook and elsewhere has been outstanding. Our students have been elated, to say the least. The vibe. The energy. The awesome subject matter taught by true professionals in a lively, engaging, and well-practiced manner. Our personal experiences from our own trainings match what they describe, too. We get […]
We love it when our guides do big things. Redline Guide Ken Hodges just finished summiting the highest 115 peaks in New England — better known as the NE115. This includes 48 mountains in NH, 46 in NY (Adirondacks), 14 in Maine, 5 in Vermont, then two more — Slide and Hunter — again in NY (Catskills). With two friends, Lynn and Celeste, I finally finished […]
We’re pleased and excited to introduce our newest member of the Redline Guiding Team, Erik Samia. Erik is a Mt Washington Valley native… born and raised in the mountain area we love most. Thus his knowledge of the area and National Forest is intimate and extensive. That’s a combination of two things we hold dear. Moreover, he excels in multiple disciplines offering a well-roundedness that lends […]
Well done graduates! Another Wilderness First Aid class we organized for the SOLO School of Wilderness Medicine just graduated this weekend. A new crop of 28 people that are smarter, better, and more capable than they were before. From now on, whatever they decide to do in the backcountry, they will be better able to do it and do it right. Everyone wins. Our students, their […]
We spent the day with the Boy Scouts of America, Daniel Webster Council, at their twice-annual Powder Horn event’s October weekend. This is a weekend training camp for Scouts and Venturers, plus Boy Scouting, Venturing, and Varsity leaders. The full scope is as follows: Powder Horn is a high adventure skills resource course for Venturing, Boy Scouting, Varsity, and Venture Scouting leaders and youth (age 14 […]
It meant a lot of hiking, but Redline Guide Ken Hodges just completed two popular New England hiking lists. One was the New England Sixty-Seven, NE67 (which is the sum of the 14 Maine, 5 Vermont, and 48 New Hampshire “4000-footers“). It’s quite the accomplishment on its own. For Ken, though, he was simultaneously working on finishing the New England Hundred Highest, NEHH. That’s the NE67 […]
We opened our doors on October 17th, 2016. This means we’re one and today is our birthday. A baby, still, but it was quite the year. We fed ourselves, took our first wobbly steps, mostly kept the crap out of our pants, so to speak. We grew, we learned, and during this time we were really able to identify ourselves. We went in with expectations, sure, […]
Two adventures, two days, for two people. We are happy to team up with International Mountain Climbing School (IMCS) of North Conway to introduce an exciting late-season special. We’re offering two full days of adventuring fun for you and your buddy or significant other. On the first day hike or scramble with a Redline Guiding guide and explore some of our White Mountains awesomeness by way […]
Well done congratulations to one and all. We’re offering four opportunities for people to earn their Wilderness First Aid credentials this year by offering discounted SOLO WFA classes. Two have been completed so far, and we have two more to go for 2017, one on the weekend of October 21st-22nd, then another on the weekend of November 11th-12th. We still have spaces for these open-to-the-public courses. […]
Last year while starting this company, we had a million little projects going on in preparation. One such project was to create bumper stickers. The plan was to spread them around, give them to guests, etc. We created a design featuring our custom modified typeface (it’s called Adventure), along with our tagline and a QR (Quick Response) code. We then sought a printer for our stickers. […]
As the seasons begin to change it’s time for us to look at our educational offerings over the spring and summer. What worked, what didn’t, what surprises did we encounter? Not everything flew off the shelves, so to speak, but almost all of our offerings sold, and many staples of wilderness education did very well. Here’s a quick recap of our current offerings. What Happened… Looking […]
