Always a great time with the Hammock crew. Thanks to everyone who made my son feel welcome. He said he had a great time and would like to do it again. Also, this was my first time enjoying the new...

Thank you Mr. And Mrs.Tumbleweed! It was a great time spent on beautiful property. And as always thanks to everyone for being so kind and inviting. It's always nice to get to go and relax with good...

Hi, I am looking forward to attending this year!

I just noticed this: "Friday night meal is BYOM (Bring your own meat!). There will be a fire setup for cooking whatever meat you got."
So not really a pot luck for Friday. I'm glad I saw that. :)

I'm looking forward to Friday! Do we have any plans for the firewood yet? (timing for the load in, etc?)
lemmeknow, I'd like to help if I can.

Love it!!!!!!

Cool! I helped last year w/ loading and unloading the wood. If I'm there at the right time, I'l be happy to assist again. Who's driving the truck?

Do we have plans for firewood logistics set yet?

I'll take #2 and #3 please!

I'm hoping to get in on this one. Just for Friday night. :)

Much Love to everyone who I had the privilege to hang out with this weekend, and big thanks to Mr. and Mrs Tumble. The location was beautiful, and the food was just right!

Here's the Google Photos...

Well said, I am pumped!

I am looking forward to seeing everybody and checking out the infamous Shack. :)

Here's a pile of the raw photos I captured at the trip. There are some cool 360/VR photos mixed in there.

I'll upload some videos when I get home.

That's awesome! Thanks for getting this all together. It's gonna be a fun weekend! Even more so now that we don't have to hump firewood in on foot.

Hey Ya'll, I'm psyched to be joining in on this one. My first ever group hang was in March last year at the I&M where it got down to 31°F. It will be fun to push a bit deeper for this one.

The...

I am interested! I'm making a comment here so I'm subscribed to this thread. :-)

Sorry to hear about the Friday tie-ups guys. So it sounds like a pretty small group for tonight.

I'm heading down in the next couple of hours. Hopefully I'll see a couple of you folks tonight.

Hey guys, I'm still iffy on this one. I might end up doing Friday and leaving really early on Saturday. Have you guys are watching the weather? I'm a little concerned. Especially with the storms and...

I may be in for a night or two on this one.

Thanks for this thread. I've been wanting to build a stand but wasn't a huge fan of the wood designs. Eye bolt then the nut being hammered into the conduit is genius!

It took me about 15 minutes...

I'm always glad to see it reposted! Cheers!

I'm planning on joining ya'll for this one. I am trying to talk my brother into joining us this time too!

I am out of town this weekend. I hope you guys have a great hang!

That was a blast! Great to meet you all and thanks for all the advice. That was my first time at a hang, and my first time hanging below freezing (31℉ last night!). Only wish I could have stayed...

I'm thinking I will ditch the bike and just walk today. I'm trying to get all my gear together and I'm realizing that the bike just adds another layer of complexity for me. See you guys soon!

Awesome, big thanks! See ya!

I'm super excited for this hang tomorrow! It's my first time hanging overnight outside aside from my test run in my back yard last weekend. The 32 Degrees that I'm seeing in the forecast for...

I'll bring shredded cheese, salsa, cilantro and tortilla chips. (I'll leave the hot sauce to the experts. )

Welcome fellow noob!

Ah, good point. I hiked there a few weeks back, I can imagine it getting pretty soggy.

Thank you for all of the updates Mark and thank you to banana hammock for helping me get my gear in order. I'm really looking forward to this.

Since I can only stay Friday night and I usually work...

ok, i am officially in for this. I am going to take a vacation day on Friday, as I can only stay until about 10am on Saturday. What time are people planning to arrive on Friday?
(wow, serious...

Hey, I am glad someone found that useful (that was my intent!) feel free to share as desired (and let me know if it needs correction)
-Joe

That's an interesting idea, any pics?

I really appreciate you saying that. I have felt really supported in my hanger-journey so far. Many thanks!

My son has his birthday party mid-day on Saturday the 19th (though his actual birthday...

I appreciate all the excellent info here. I wanted to post an update, I have logged about 40 hours hanging down here and things are holding fine. I even added a second set of anchors so my daughter...

Here's the link for the next outing. https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=122093

I'm hoping to make it for this one! (maybe not for overnight yet, but to put some good hours in all the same!)

-Joe

Looks really cool. I love the color/pattern. Congrats.

I'm hoping to join you all for a few hours Sat AM. Are you bringing it out for the weekend?

Nice Gallo! What model is that?

This thread gave me a shiver. A little over a year ago I got into piloting remote control quad copters. I joined the AMA (amateur model aeronautics) and also a local flight club where we had our own...

Question... If I was to drive out on Saturday morning, how early could I get in there? I know the lot near the campsite is closed overnight. Does it reopen at sunrise?

Hummm... Though I wouldn't...

Thanks for all the tips! I will look into swapping out (or adding to) those drywall screws with some better built ones.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought you worked in a sorting facility and were hanging on your breaks!

I am swamped this weekend, but I still would love to head out and meet up with ya'll for a few hours. I don't belong in your headcount... but I'm watching the thread to see if anyone will be around...
