We know the best way to give back is to roll up your sleeves and actually do it. Thanks to all so-willing. Our Third Annual Trails Day was a success, though not without its challenges. Covid-19, for example, forced a significant delay. Time was needed for people to learn how to deal with this thing. Finally, though, with safety pushed way out in front, we got […]
We realize that while most of our adventures and weddings are going to offer up the a pretty specific set of challenges to us as it relates to COVID19, our educational offerings, being even more diverse, will probably be our most challenging aspect yet. Granted, we have it so easy compared to some businesses, but we also take the safety of us and our guests very, […]
[…] the trip was a success. Everyone felt safe […] Check check, testing, are we ready to go live? The hike test went well enough, it wasn’t technical so that simplifies matters, a lot, but it made us think as well. And knowing this it was time to up our game and try to test out a backpacking experience next. Could we stay distanced? Would masks […]
We met outdoors and kept a good distance — at least six feet. So if either of us had viral matter to give to the other, we weren’t going to make it an easy exchange. We said hello then we whipped out a… what is that? A gun?! A blowdryer? Oh, it’s just a touch-less thermometer. We grabbed our guest’s temperature with their permission. This was […]
Following our closure, we intend to gradually re-open Redline Guiding adhering conservatively to the general guidelines defined by the New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu’s “Stay at Home 2.0” phased re-opening approach, provided it is fact-, data-, and science-driven only. We will not be driven by politics or emotion. We also plan to consider and adhere to the various applicable plans offered by the CDC (Center for […]
We’re Doing It Again — Giving Back to the Trails! We are being optimistic, we are making plans, though bear in mind we decided on a much later date this year for our Third Annual Trails Day. We are hoping that by then, we will all gleefully work together, side-by-side on a White Mountains’ trail. So, without further ado, we hope you will join us yet […]
We mentioned that we started offering virtual courses, but we really didn’t have the infrastructure, so to speak. Not at the time, anyway — it was all so new. We had no official pricing at the time, a massively overblown booking form to use for a rather simple and straightforward registration, and we didn’t even have a page to put any of it on. That has […]
The past few years have seen a sharp increase in the number of visitors to the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF). Inasmuch the number of black bear-related incidents has likewise skyrocketed, but at an even sharper rate. So much so, it’s concerning. “It’s just a matter of time before someone gets killed,” said one United States Forest Service (USFS) Ranger we spoke with. Due to the […]
It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention. It’s the truth. A necessity for us — for the greater good — is that we suspended our normal operations for an unspecified period of time. Our “invention,” so to speak, is that we are trying new things, because another necessity is making a living. Specifically we are dabbling in the dark arts of video […]
Please take note of the following: Operational Status Being a non-critical business we are suspending almost all operations (see below) until… well, until it’s safe to resume them normally without putting anyone in jeopardy: our guides, our guests, and anyone who could become involved with us to include other hikers, merchants, SAR, anyone. If you have a booking and require a reschedule with us please know […]
Here at Redline Guiding we strive to post only positive content, but in this current situation, positivity is something we will have to reach for, and it may be challenging at times. The very first thing we would like to say is that we offer our hopes and prayers to everyone, and we mean that globally. Of course, we, like you, are affected on a very […]
We officiated up to three weddings in a single day last year — yes, we do weddings. We expect more of the same this year and as such have asked Redline Guide Jeffrey Shutak if he would apply to become a N.H. Justice of the Peace. He agreed, and now there are two of us. Thus, as the state puts it, let it be known… To […]
