    2017 Iowa Hang recap

    This, I believe, was the 7th annual Iowa hang? The weather kept the gathering pretty small: Gloomy and wet all weekend. But lots of laughs and a few flasks kept spirits high.

    Any day out of the house and into the outdoors is a good day.
    The game is the best teacher.

    The weather is the weather. I learned long ago that its only a prediction and things change. The key is to get out there, have fun and enjoy the time with fellow hangers. Your hang looked like our Gluttony Hang from last weekend: wet, rain and we had snow. Obviously the Hammock Gods of Good Weather weren't paying attention.

    Nice looking camp. The kelty Noah is a monster but I'm sure they stayed dry!

    those fall colors look wonderful. Glad fun was had with the weather suffered.
    When the wife asks, I simply say "Shug made me do it".

    It wasn't the same without your fish taco's.

    Was a noob with the Kelty.(actually a good friend of mine) I kind of talked him into buying it just so I could razz him about it. I tease him about parking a bus under it. haha But, it was really nice for storing all of our firewood under.

    The were JUST past peak, but still a lot of color on them. The weather could have been a lot worse. Just one of them trips where everything is wet....all the time.
