In dog years we’re just shy of a mature and well-seasoned fifty. In human terms we no longer poop in our pants, which is good as the other second graders would point and laugh at us. Where we are as a company is somewhere in between. The other second graders definitely respect us, and our customers — “guests” as we’ve always called them — seem to […]
We did it again, or rather you did it again. You made us great. Or rather our guides did it again. They made us great. Or something like that. We’re not exactly sure what the criteria is or how all this works. We do know that whatever levers were pulled or buttons were pushed must have worked as we have been presented yet again with the […]
Sawyer Pond and many locations in the White Mountain National Forest, is named after the people who lived and worked in the forest harvesting timber. Logging used to be a massive industry here. And the Forest is still logged today, but with best practices for sustainability in mind and tight controls in place, not like back in the old days. No more massive clear cuts. Logging […]
The technology of Artificial Intelligence or A.I. is permeating our lives. But is it taking over? Will it write our words, read our texts, and speak our minds? Well, yes, it already is. We hear the drone and oddly flat speech of A.I. generated voiceovers daily now — it was a lot more uncommon until recently. There’s been a surge. We also see A.I. generated imagery […]
Checking today’s mail brought about smiles as we learned we were voted Best of NH, 2023 by New Hampshire Magazine — from Yankee Publishing — in the Outfitter/Guides Category. We were selected for this honor as the result of a readers’ poll. In other words, YOU chose us… so thanks! We’re very grateful and will strive to continue giving you our best so to deserve this […]
The recent announcement from the Seasonality Division of the USDA made us panic, initially, until we realized nothing is really changing that affects us any more than we’re already being affected naturally. The reported change is simply a new naming convention which, according to the USDA/SD spokesperson, Rafael Maduro, “will better match our reality now that the effects of climate change become inarguable.” He also added, […]
Ayuh, We’re Again Giving Back to the Mountain Trails we Love so Much by Literally Rolling Up Our Sleeves and Working on Them! Wanna Help? Did you know there is a specification for the construction of non-wilderness trails? If you weren’t aware, the “corridor” is meant to be 4-feet wide by 8-feet tall, with a 24-inch “tread-way” or “foot-bed.” In Federally-designated Wilderness Areas, those numbers drop […]
We’d love to tell you climate change has slowed significantly, that U.S. political parties are uniting for common causes, vowing for once to serve the people who voted them into their respective offices, that Covid is a fading memory, and we produced at least two stellar articles every month. Sadly, though, none of this is true as of the time of this writing. And as much […]
Or you COULD be DONE! We can save you from Black Friday, or at least help you out through the rest of today. Offering yourself or someone you love the gift of adventure is one awesome solution to your shopping season woes, and we can help. Not only making gift certificates for our services available, but to offer them at a 10% discount if ordered through […]
Today is Thanksgiving. While we’re always grateful for those who allow us to exist — mainly our incredible guests and are awesome guides (though there are others) — it’s important to let you know, especially on a day in which giving thanks is in its name, that we acknowledge you and are in fact grateful. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Have a safe and enjoyable holiday. The […]
A little while ago the Appalachian Mountain Club published the 31st Edition of the AMC’s White Mountain Guide Book. There was talk of modifying the list now that GPS technology continually improves and LIDAR allows us to “see” like never before, but thankfully for peakbaggers, it did stay the same. Well, mostly. The 48 mountains listed remains the same, even though one of them, Tecumseh (grandfathered), […]
If we were a child, we would be in first grade this year. It does not seem like it’s been six years, but it has been. Redline Guiding is now six years old, heading into year seven. It feels good. We have a very solid group of guides and instructors, and our reputation is likewise solid. We have tried to make a positive impact over the […]
