(This was a few months ago so the details could be a bit iffy.)…read more This was a very impromptu trip and everything at Edge of the Woods makes doing that easy. Head to the website, book the date & time you want and you're done. www.watergapadventure.com/river-trips A few things worth noting: They offer multiple trip lengths. The standard 4-, 6- and 10-mile trip (Smithfield to Portland) are all booked generically and then when you get there you tell them what you want to do. All pricing is the same which believe me compared to others companies, that's very different - in a good way. They do offer two other longer trips but those require calls to the main office I assume to assess river conditions; your own competency and shuttle availability. The main office in Delaware Water Gap is very easy to find and there was plenty of parking on a quiet post-Labor Day Monday. You check in, you're handed a laminated map, life jacket and given a brief route explanation and then you're off in the van. One problem arose and it was kind of a PIA but it was worked around. Most companies have different types/sizes/models of kayaks and quite often, will ask you what you prefer. Not here. When we left the office, the guy driving didn't say a word to me until we get to Smithfield Beach to unload. He had a few kayaks pre-loaded in the carrier but definitely did not look at them before we left. One of them had a broken foot pedal that he said couldn't be used, another was very much designed for a smaller individual (i.e. if you're taller and/or taller & larger it ain't happening safely) which only left two tandem models. Using a tandem as a single individual is not the end of the world but especially when the seats are still left in the two person configuration (i.e. one front and one back versus the rear one being placed more towards the middle), it's a PIA to maneuver the craft and you are paddling harder to get the job done compared to a single. The scenery along the route was decent. You could see a bit of the Shawnee Resort and Golf Course, an old stone bridge abutment in the middle of the river, under and along 80 and then when you get into the Water Gap itself with the high cliff sides. Very picturesque. Once you go under the old train viaduct in Portland, you give the office a call for the shuttle to meet you at the out point which is at the Portland Pedestrian Bridge. The whole experience was about four hours door to door to cover the ten miles on the water plus the shuttle to & from the pick up and drop off points. Lots of nice scenery, due to the low water level there wasn't much in the way of current except for the area around viaduqt in Portland and even that wasn't bad. I'm not a big fan of the equipment here but I wouldn't let that deter me from coming back in the future for one of their northern longer trips.

We started taking class with Shane Hobel of Mountain Scout Survival School when my daughter was 10,…read moreshe is nearly 12 now. I had contacted Shane after thinking about these types of classes for a while. After observing extreme weather conditions in our country, I realized if it plunged to negative 30 degrees here, I would have no clue how to stay alive, nor how to help my child. Shane responded to my message promptly, and we chatted for about an hour. He was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, reassuring, and funny. I was greatly relieved to discuss such a paramount topic with a competent expert. I almost expected a bill for all the questions I had, but I discovered Shane is not driven by the pecuniary, he is a genuinely good, helpful guy. The basic class is Wilderness I. I was a bit apprehensive to take my daughter to the middle of the forrest with people I didn't know, but Shane had been so genuine during our call, I did. All the volunteers and trainees/Scouts working for Mountain Scout School are every bit as nice and helpful as Shane. We learned a huge amount from 9-5, manifold topics are covered. Notebooks are imperative, you could never recall all the information given. We have since attended Wilderness I another 5 times; each time I hear something different I had missed before. "Dirt time" to practice skills is also given in Wilderness I. Mountain Scout Survival School offers a plethora of course options after the required Wilderness I - Wilderness II, Wilderness III, Tracking I and II, Camouflage and Movement, Fire I and II, Art of the Stalk, Healing Way I and II, Urban I and II, Bug Out, Map and Compass, Tree Identification, Hunt Tracking etc. There are a myriad of other courses I'm sure I'm missing. The Healing Way is very profound, and the Art of the Stalk - literally crawling through the foliage - is fun. The classes are very reasonable for the NYC metro area. One thing not advertised is once you've attended a Mountain Scout Survival School class, to repeat that class is a paltry $40 fee. If you want to become more involved, he accepts volunteers who assist classes. Every few months he offers Skill Set Open Practice Days for no charge. This school is very affordable - no $20K overnight auction items here, no pressure. I have met many interesting and nice students, varied draw of people attend. I like the fact Shane stresses he is not aligned with the segment of prevalent Doomsday Prepper type shows. Shane is Native American, and has reverence and awe for nature and Mother Earth. He reminds everyone he teaches ancient skills which are our birthright, and had been known to all until very recent modern times. He is so correct, it's time to reclaim what every other generation has practiced. Shane emphasizes community, and sharing skills sets to increase the efficiency of your community group. His philosophy is to increase and expand your awareness, baseline is inculcated into you. He is a bit zany which adds to sometimes too serious topics. I have attended about 90 percent of the above listed courses, and they are all interesting and helpful if you are serious about accumulating skills. I have seen fire made from ancient bow drills in intense rain with a couple feet of snow. Wow. Shane and his crew are kind of like watching a cross between McGuyver and Michael Weston operating outside. Very approachable, no need to feel inferior for showing up with no skills. Despite his expertise, Shane is very humble with zero attitude. Attending classes builds your endurance, confidence, and self-knowledge. I detest heights, I am petrified to ride Soarin with my kid, yet I found myself rock climbing a couple weeks ago to end one class. It was harrowing to watch my daughter use a knife (!) the first couple times (NY Presbyterian Pediatric ER greets us by name when we arrive). Shane coaxes you beyond your self-imposed limits without you being aware he is doing so. If the Zombie Apocalypse happened and I had a choice between handing my daughter over to a bunch of military special ops, or Shane and his Scouts, I would optimize her survival chances by picking Shane and his Mountain Scout Survival School.
