Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Christmas present idea, for serious hikers

Not for walkers, but for those who really want to Move It With Vigor over hill and dale and and clamber over steep rocks:  The Best Five Hiking Pants


I have the Pranas and the Montanes. The thing is that, for cold weather, they are easy to layer underneath.  Re the Montanes, Amazon doesn't have them but Montane USA does.  Their sizing is not US sizing, so check the sizing for those great water-resistant hiking/climbing pants.

When my boys were younger I became a leader of their scout troop. I of course had to uniform up like the scouts. The green scout pants had come out in a new synthetic material about then that made great hiking and camping pants. My sons have aged out of scouting having each earned the Eagle rank but I still like to go hiking and I think those green pants are among the best for a long trip.
