Black Bears in CT. Are they a real danger in Conneticuts hiking trails?
Posted By: admin // Category: HikingWile hiking in the wood, or on trails in CT. Is it a realistic threat that you might run in to a Bear. If so is it a real danger?
Short answer: Bears are not a real danger in Connecticut.
It is possible to run into a Black Bear in Connecticut. There are more than 1,500 bear sightings a year in the state. However, the danger of getting hurt by a bear on a trail in Connecticut is less than getting hit by lightening and far less than getting into a traffic accident on the way to the trail.
Black bears do attack and since 1900 there have been 52 people killed by Black Bears. None of these deaths occured in New England.
Still, if you see a bear be careful. Back away slowly and by all means do not approach a cub or come between a cub and its mother. There was a news story a few years back where a woman was killed by a bear. An examination of her video camera showed she was taking a close up shot of a bear cub when she was attacked. If you are backpacking, hang your food or keep it in a bear safe container away from your tent. Do not keep any food in your tent, or have anything that smells like food in your tent.
In well over 1,000 miles of hiking in the Northeast, I’ve seen one bear while I was on the trail. It was running away from me.

Golf Swing Tips – Would You Like to Bet That I Can Cure Your Slice in 24 Hours?
Posted By: admin // Category: Hiking
There is nothing worse than hitting a golf ball and watching it curve off to the right. I know a lot of tour players play a fade but that’s another story. A fade is a controlled movement of the ball, a slice is a sign of a serious problem in a golf swing. Here are some golf swing tips to help you cure your slice.
Fist thing to do is check your grip. If you can see more than two knuckles of your left hand (if your right handed) when gripping the club then you need to move it to where two is all you see. If the v of your right hand is pointing to your chin or left shoulder then you need to move it to where it points to your right shoulder. If you had to do either of these then you had a week grip with one hand or the other. If you had to move both hands then you probably could not hit anything but a slice.
Second I want you to hit 50 balls with a abnormally closed stance. Set up with the ball off of the inside of your left heel. From there pull your right foot back naturally closing your shoulders. Hit 50 balls like this but keep your body quiet. It will feel weird but just keep the feeling of keeping your back to the target as long as you can. Do not try and kill the ball like John Daly here. What we are after is a feeling of letting the club come from the inside instead of over the top like you have probably been doing. After the first 50 balls slowly begin bringing your right foot back to normal position. Do not just bring the right foot back to normal after 50 balls. Move it a little forward and hit a few, then move it a little more forward and hit a few more.
The third part will be to rotate your forearm. Notice I did not say anything about your wrist. Your wrist will follow what your forearm does so do not worry about them. When you are coming into the impact area I want you to roll your forearm like you are hitch hiking. To get a good visual of what I am talking about extend your arm up with your thumb out like you would be hitch hiking. As a car goes by rotate your forearm to the left. Did you see what your wrist and hand did? Now take that feeling and put it on the golf ball.
From years of teaching the game as a professional and time spent playing on various golf tours these are three tips that have helped many students fix their slice. These drills will not cure your slice forever is you do not have the proper fundamentals.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a navigational system consisting of a number of satellites that enables anyone to know their position on Earth. It works regardless of the weather, day or night, using radio signals that bounce between the receiver on Earth and the satellite in space. It is the only fully functional navigation system that can be used anywhere in the world.
Electronics in general has become smaller and smaller, and GPS technology is no exception. Today, you can find many GPS devices which you can hold and operate in the palm of your hand. Most of these handheld devices are designed to be used outdoors such as when you are traveling, hiking or skiing. The GPS unit can not only provide navigational details such as where you are and how to get to where you want to go, but other details such as local and topographic details. Some even provide details on the weather forecast.
Corresponding to the decrease in size has been the decrease in cost. You can find a good quality handheld GPS system at a very affordable price. One small issue with many handheld GPS is the size of their memory due to the need for them to be compact. By spending a little extra, you can usually get a unit which has up to 16MB of memory, and these types are typically more powerful with extra features.
Bikers, hikers, skiers and travelers use handheld GPS units in their activities and there are many devices specifically designed for particular outdoor activities such as biking, golf and hiking. Handheld units are usually very easy to use and have displays that are simple to read. You can even find some GPS units that are voice enabled.
The many different handheld GPS gadgets that on the market today can make it difficult to choose one. Rest assured there are many that will meet your needs. For example, the Garmin StreetPilot 7500 GPS Portable has a 7 inch screen and a wireless remote. It also features maps of US and Canada included, built in antennae, WASS enabled and a MP3 player so you listen to music on the boring parts of your trip.
A palm sized GPS unit is the Garmin eTrex Handheld GPS. The buttons on this gadget are all on the one side to enable you to use it with just one hand and is specifically manufactured to meet the needs of hunters, climbers, hikers and bikers. The software can be updated for free. Another Garmin is the Garmin GPS III Plus which has great reception even in the densest of areas.
A popular Magellan GPS is the Road Mate 2000. Portable, affordable and powerful, it is extremely easy to read the screen with anti-glare and bright features. It also has a battery with a long life.
Buying a handheld unit is very easy. There are many listed in online stores or at your local electronic store. Make sure you do your home work and buy a well know brand that is known for its quality. It is also a good idea to test drive the GPS unit to ensure that you find it easy to use.

How to stay warm and dry while sleekly avoiding looking like you got lost on a hike. And still with enough techy details to make the guy in the puffy parka jealous. The warm comes from heavyweight wool, the dry from a special weatherproof laminate, and the sleek from its minimally detailed silhouette and a plethora of wellthought- out details: hidden hood; vented grommets under the arms; waterproof zippers at chest and hip pockets; and an inner pocket with earphone port for the all-important tunage. From Tumi. Dry clean. Imported in Charcoal.
I am looking for some new places to hike and exercise. Do you know any good trails,etc that you would like to suggest?
I live in central KC…don’t really want to drive more than 30 minutes.
Wow, Swope Park comes to mind right off the bat! Second-largest city park in the US, you can make your own trail every day!
Johnson County has lots of bike paths that also double as Hiking Trails, and you could also wheel up to Smithville lake where there are plenty of outdoor activity opportunities.
