Interesting thread going on. I left the forum 2 years ago for 2 reasons. First, I moved to Texas from Virginia. Depression set in when I first found out about the move. Texas? No trees I thought....

Don't know if you're still looking, but I did the NCT-MRT loop last week. Saw more than a dozen backpackers on my overnight.

I've been hiking in the Shenandoah River State Park for the last couple of weeks. Not too many people or horses yet. Also, the campgrounds are closed.
Having lived in Jesup, GA (50 miles west) for 5 years, we were at Jekyll Island almost every weekend walking the beach. We found that after Thanksgiving through January was the least busy time. We...
Yaaaa! I got through with no issues! :)
I washed my DIY quilt in a top loading washer (no agitator) on gentle. Since my wife sewed the climashield to the ripstop on all 4 sides, I wasn't too concerned about bunching inside. I then placed...

Cleared cache and restarted browser, no luck! :(
My ISP is Comcast in Virginia.
Just tried and continue to get the same error. Hope you find the fix!
Just tried the site. I got the same error from SiteLock.
I'm running Firefox and windows 10 plus some adblockers, etc. Could they be an issue?
Nope! Tried a barebones Edge browser and got an...
Welcome to the forum! One of the best things that helped me was to view the video series by our famous "Shug" Emery. His "Hammock How-To for Noobs" will provide a lot of info along with some...
Bene Gesserit?? :)
My experience is that on the first or second deployment, I get a snag. After trying 4 different stores, I had the same experience. I gave up.
Got mine today, a day earlier than originally projected!
Nice work I'll be happy to show these off!
Thank you for the update!
Was a little confused about how to use the toggle until I found this video:

It sealed the deal for me since I was looking for a new setup. Just...
Just added mine.
I enjoyed your write-up! Welcome to the forums.
This pic reminded me of the website I watch. This is in the far northern reaches of the U.P. I was a senior in college up there when the record was set.

Unfortunately, I have to back out for this weekend. I went for an overnight on the AT and coming home on Friday, I had something happen to my hip. It doesn't look like I'll be in any shape to...
I bought the quart size (I think) and diluted it down to approx. 0.5%. Soaked my quilt and bug net, then let it dry in garage with door closed overnight. There was a "smell" that took a couple of...
I was able to download it as an Excel file directly to my computer using Firefox. I just opened the link, selected "File" and "Download as." Looks good!
We would see them all the time while I was at college (Michigan Tech) in Houghton, Michigan. That's in the UP for those who aren't Yoopers!
Attached is a file that you can print and fill out with your name/cell phone number and place on your car's dashboard. Hopefully, this will make it easier to get in touch with someone if there's a...
Try Jekyll Island. It's near Brunswick, GA. This time of year it may be full as well.
Just signed up. First time to a hang! You guys made it sound so good, I couldn't pass it up!
I used KamSnaps when I made my TQ. I don't think it's the quality of the snaps. It's more the voracity of my restless feet!
+1 for popping the snaps open while sleeping. That's why I sewed mine shut.
I'm in Front Royal and the current temp is 26 dropping to 12 overnight. Make sure you check temps as the water sources may be frozen depending when you come.
Now that you mention it, they "looked" a little thinner that the ones I got last year. However, I didn't actually pick one up.
Any of you near Winchester, VA looking for one, I just returned from the Costco there. They've got 4 stacked cases all mostly full of various colors. Currently priced at $19.99.
Welcome! I'm up near Winchester in Stephens City. I too have benefited from the wealth of info on this forum!

I just wanted to post pictures and say thanks to everyone who's commented on this thread. As a noob to hammocking, I've lurked for a few months trying to educate myself. The pictures below are a...
