Thursday, i am going into new york for a camp trip. I am wearing a backpack that you pull the sting, snap it & buckle it. I am scared i am going to be pick-pocketed. My aunt told me to be careful because of pickpocketers. Should i wear the backpack? Thanks!
I am going to be in a huge group of people, and i need to carry a lunch in there.
Answer
I don't know what your grandma has been told, but I have never been pick pocketed in NY and I have been there many times. I would wear a cross shoulder bag if you are scared.
Then you shouldn't worry. Your backpack has a snap, buckle and string. You should be fine! Don't listen to the other poster, he/she whatever is just trying to scare you.

Adirondack Backpacking Advise/ Information Source?

I'm going to be heading off to some adirondack backpacking soon, and I would like to have a few questions answered by people with some experience in the region.
What is the weather generally like in the region? I will bring rain gear regardless, but I want to know if I should really expect lots of rain.
Where is the best part of the park for multi-day backpacking trips, not too intense but enough to be enjoyable?
What are the regulations regarding camping, fires, and firewood?
Can you reccommend me a good map and/or guidebook for my purposes?
Answer
I would recommend the High Peaks Region. Depending on the distance you want to cover, you can start south of Lake Placid from the Adirondack Loj or from the Garden Trailhead in Keene Valley, southeast of Lake Placid off Route 73. There is also the Works Trailhead near Tahawus, NY, but it's difficult for some people to find. I call that the "back door of the Adirondacks." From there, there is a well established network of trails that can lead you up to some beautiful peaks and views as well as lakes.
If you want to enjoy some more level trails, I suggest heading to Cranberry region west of where I describe. If you have or can rent a canoe or kayak, the trip might be enhanced.
Camp fire regs have varied over the years. Check the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.
Rain will depend on the time of year. I recommend full grain leather boots too. It will keep your feet more comfortable and freer from mud and environmental moisture. Gaiters are a must in the springtime.
As for a guidebook, get the regional book of the Guide to Adirondack Trails by the Adirondack Mountain Club. It comes with the most appropriate map, though National Geographic published one recently too.
