Hey guys, It's been a while. I decided this year I was going to look into getting a new hammock system and retire the old one. But since I have not been hammock shopping in seven years, I need a...

Suprise Suprise, I have come back from the dead. I am planning to attend the hang with a friend and her babes. (their first camping trip, so we will park our asses far far far away from the main...

Make sure you pack warm!

I went last year around this time and froze my butt off even with a 20o everything. Also, take lots of photos, and stops to enjoy the scenery. The hike itself is not...

While my biggest pup is no longer allowed in the hammock due to the strain it puts on his knees, and his sheer weight, my littest one still sleeps with me to this day.

Simba is a Stafford mix...

I am not sure on backpacking or canoeing with a cat, but hammocking with one can be done if you care careful.

I "backpacked" in the woods by my parent's house and was followed by three of my...

Think I should wear a different onsie each year I go? Start a onsie tradition!

Hey guys.

sorry for the poor description, I was using my phone to type all of that.

What I was going to do is over-stuff and seam-rip. But I was not sure what is the best way to create a...

Hey guys.

I have a new project to attempt and need some help with it. My project is to modify a down throw into a top quiit rates to about low 30s.

I have a down sleeping bag that I am going to...

Judy and I enjoyed our third hang, (2nd for her). Despite being somewhat anti-social this time around (school and work equals this is a mini vocation), we did make some rounds and chit-chat. The cold...

Your UQ and TQ were cosco throws? I didn't expect them to go that low.

Hey guys. Someone pmed me about and I am getting one from them. Thanks for offering! I appreciate it.

I wonder if you could see if anyone has a hammock you can have. Try reaching out to the hf community?

Is there any way you can fix the hammock for the time being? Or did it rip down the middle?

Hey guys.

Is there anyone coming to the pa hammock hang that I could buy a cosco quilt from? I could obviously buy one online but I was hoping maybe I could get it a little cheaper from someone...

No it's kinda a scoop cake. But I'll probably make two. My best friend may also be picking up a cosco cake form the hang. Of I have enough extra money, I'll also bring chips and drinks. But I'm...

I am planning on bringing a treat for you guys this year.

I am going to bake a dump cake friday morning, and have it sitting on ice for saturday evening. The cake will be your classic pinaple,...

Hey guys.

I wanted to extend the invitation to anyone on here if they would like to join my trip to Grayson highlands on may 21st- 24th possibly 25th depending on if we keep a 10mile per day, or...

Exackly. Though all the pain of backpacking, the bad sleep, bad food, feet hurting, etc, I found myself still going back for more. It started as a once a year thing. Everytime I came back, I vowed...

I figured I would post a little bit of a story here for all the other newbie hangers to read and understand that they are totally not alone. We all go through the process of trying to "figure" this...

Yup. Along the AT. I am near harpers ferry. But, shoot me a plan and we can figure it out. I would just need to figure out where to put my car, etc.

Anyone planning to hike in?

I am considering hiking in this year but would like to have a partner or group.

Thanks
Cara

Depending on the strength of the hurricane, I may have to cancel my trip. If it hits us directly, I have to stay home and hold down the fort. If not, I'm heading your way!

I am a little late, but It is official. I am totaly coming to the hang!

what delayed me is the fact that this year, it is on the Hershey pa car show dates. I am usually the lead driver for my...

Haha, We were the cackle duo. Non-stop laughing, joking, and talking. Mostly because I was in the process of a coffee ween.

I will be going to more hangs in the future. Not sure on the fall, but...

Hey guys,

I enjoyed my time with the forum at the hang. Being a sorta newb to hammocks, I got to spend time conversing about if my hammock looked right. It was also a ton of fun trying and...

can adults learn to slack line? XD I can knock that off my bucket list of "tried" things.

Oh, and I can bring bags of salad, and chips if you guys want.

Hey guys. Anyway I could borrow some woopi slings or other attachment for a hammock? My bff is hammocking and I am trying to piece together my old hammock for her to use. I have straps and the...

Someone should teach hammock angle/lay things for the beginners. I am still trying to dial in my hammock ridge line/sag. I only have the internet sources to help.

Okay, no problem. I am sure things are fine. I guess I over worry.

Hey guys

Question. I recently bought a Jarbridge (typo) uq on the 7th (I believe).

The shipping quote says 2-3 days handling before shipping, but when do you guys usually get a email saying...

I would use it if someone gave one too me. Car camping for a week? Bring a portable hot tub. I am sure it would be a hit at hostels along the at. People could charge a hiker $10 for a 30 min soak in...

I have sciatica nerve issues. My backpacking experience has always been on the ground. Initially, I slept with no pad. Ouch. I than picked up floats from the dollar store and that helped a ton. Yet,...

oh..yeah. I was going to just post photos but I'll explain.

I bought no see um mesh from dutch randomly while placing an order. It's just the long rectangle section you get for like 5 bucks.

Hey guys.

I just finished my snake skin (one piece) for my tadpole tarp. I just wanted to say....It took me forever to relearn my sewing machine than it took me to make my dang snake skin.

If anyone wants to ride share, I am leaving colonial beach va. Mapquest my route and see if you are near it.

Also: I have limited experience with charcoal grills vs camp fires (go figure). I...

I was wondering if for dinner, I could bring dump cake to make over the coals of one of the fires? It is a good dessert meal with fruit, butter, and cake mix.

Hey guys

I appreciate your information.

I have seen all of shugs videos. He is the one that made me consider a pad/sleeping bag in the first place. I however wanted to try diying something and...

Hey guys.

I have a few issues that need to be helped and worked out.

In May, I am going to start my section hike through va starting at Damascus. My hammock set up is a 1.6 hex with straps,...

What is the mileage you are considering? I am looking for a pre-hike to my section hike starting two weeks after the hang. haha

A freind and I are going to be there. I will be bringing my dutch gear, and diy pod. My freind will be stuck with some random hammock, sleeping bag, and stuff thrown together. lol

Hey guys.

I pretty much done converting my bag into a pad. Here is what I did in a nut shell.

My bag is a half-mummy marmot 30 degree long bag. The hammock is a 11 ft netless something from...

Hey shug! I love your videos. I went to clown school right out of highschool but didn't come out of it with anything but a quirky persona.

About the pod, I thought of doing what you did but...

Hey guys

I am in the middle of turning my Half-Mummy Sleeping bag into a pod for my hammock. I was wondering for those who have done this before, what is the best way to be able to seal up the...

NM found shug's videos. ^.^

Sorry freind, I meant the fixed loop. I already have Whoopi Hooks. I was just trying to consider what way to fix the other end to the hammock without having to use extra weight.

Do you guys have...

And than you guys for the info. I am going to test out both ways. Maybe find some piping around the house sine we are currently building a addition to the house.

I just felt schooled on so many levels. I guess I didn't look at my ridge line that well to consider doing that.

Hey guys,

I have a question. I have seen people turn mummy bags into a pod for hammocks on you tube. How well do they work? Does it take away from the temp ratting at all?

Has anyone ever turns...
