I follow a leave no trace, low-viz impact, blend with nature rule. I go outdoors seeking solitude and feel it's good woodsmanship to blend into my surroundings for my and the benefit of others as...
Well done sir! I Like it!
Did all the brush marks come out of the finish or are they permanent?
Straight from Opie...
So for most people (including me) 1 set (2) 6' whoopies.

rict,
Before you invest anymore money in another hammock, I strongly suggest trying to make one of the group hangs that were posted above.
As you can see, this community is heck bent on...
Yeah I have checked them out in the past.
Looks great till you see the shipping charges. They are way out of line IMO. If I remember it's something like $7.99 for the first yard of fabric and a...
Sounds like UV dye used in the fabric processing. There are UV killer sprays on the market for this.
Thanks bro!
That was before I added camo no-seeum netting and a camo top cover. I also tricked it out a bit. I will post the final version once the weather breaks.
That was my first DIY...

I know it's to late now, but in the future carry a heavy duty Stainless Steel Nalgene or similar bottle. Before bed time, boil some water in it, let it cool a bit, put the lid back on good and tight,...

My local (5 miles away), national dealer: 200' Amsteel =.27 cents per foot, $54.00 not including shipping.

Put me down for: 200', 7/64 Black.
I should be in your system as a prior satisfied customer.
Thanks a ton bro!
I saw that.
A 150lb. yearling separated from a Sow and another yearling charged him on a trail. He took 3 shots at him with Bear spray. Finally got him at 10' away. Yearling took off. He said he...
*Note: 2p and I met last night and looks like we may have reconsidered the drive and going for the round trip flight.
Yesterday, I gave the Denali NP office a call concerning the 85 diff...
Crap! I really wanted to sport my Skookum Stealth DIY hammock! oh well.....
good point! :lol:
2P! I forgot you were a member here.:cool:
(guys, give him a hard time as he is a lowly ground dweller)
Wow, great info. That's what I was hoping for! I just think so highly of our members here. I brag to people I know about it but they don't get it. Kudos to you.
I am a serious fisherman....
maybe the plan was a little over zealous. We would save a couple hundred $$ a piece by our calculations if driving. We rationalized that we could drive pretty much non-stop in shifts. and get there...
Me and my bud (2P, short for 2PBR, short for "2nd Place in a Bear race" :D) have decided to do Denali.
I have been doing a ton of reading so I know the basics. I was hoping for insights and...
Nicely done squire! I liked it.:shades:

THANKS DPLANT! Your a gentleman, scholar and your posts give me a headache. :shades:
No, more like this...deleted
Edit: OK, that picture was just creepy... don't want to end this...
Thanks all. I appreciate the kind words.
Kinda hard too man-up with a poked eyeball. The fact that you lose partial vision in your uninjured eye was a new one to me. I was virtually blind and...
Yeah, I donated the Wenger Backpack knives. Really glad you liked them! I have a set and really like them so thought someone else might. Did you find the stowed toothpick and tweezers yet?
I'm...
Ok boys and girls, I'm hitting the road. Be there or be square :cool:
Can't wait to see your rig Gargoyle!:boggle:

I'm thinking of writing a steamy little follow-up pocket novel. Title: "Making WhoOpie" or maybe "Cordage Gone Wild".
Your just jealous that I have 8' sling and yours is only 6'. Sounds like...
Yeah, I like that! Very nice! Camo w/ Green netting looks cool.
Where did you get your zipper? Are you using shockcord for the tie-outs?
Gulp, Is that a blood (or pee) stain under the...
Little excited and had to share.
Just got my 8', sleek ,black WhoOpie Slings in the mail. First time I saw Shugs vid demonstration, I knew I had to incorporate them into my stealth rig.
I put...

Not to beat a dead Turkey.....
I was just trying to save money for anyone that choose to wear a bit of blaze orange as suggested by the DNR (while they were moving through the woods) but didn't...
Very, Very Nice!
If your in the mood to answer a few questions sir....
What fabric did you score from Joann's in the digital camo?
What hem did you use for the no zipper side between the...
Agreed, but I would bet money on the fact that we hear a few gobblers Saturday & Sunday Morning. I love that sound. Gobbblbblll!! Nothing like it.
I hunt, guide & photograph Wild Turkey. Gooblers (adult males) heads and neck wattles turn bright Red, White & Blue during the mating ritual to attract a Hen (adult females). If you hear a turkey...
I have 50 or more Blaze Orange mesh, "pinnies" soccer practice jerseys. They are youth size so are really small. They can be tucked in a pack exposed, worn as a buff, head rag, scarf, etc. Just a...
I think it has already been posted, but as a reminder:
Youth Turkey Hunting Season is April 17 and 18, 2010. As a precaution, I strongly suggest you do not wear red, white, or blue outer wear or...
I wasn't suggesting that we list them here....
I meant a private list for the ring leaders to maintain and maybe a Hoosier hang leader contact list for us minions to have.
Sorry I was vague.

and up wind....:bored:
**** your eyes man!!!!!:mad: (line from young Frankenstein)
There goes my new creation- DIY patchwork Franken-Tarp
Should we consider a cell phone list?
The group is getting pretty big. Might come in handy for logistical purposes.....
....or for a Beer & Pizza - "Group Buy". Question....does Dominos...
Skookum if you please :cool:
I wasn't concerned till someone mentioned name tags. I didn't want to walk around as "sock-em". Somebody might have taken a swing.....:laugh:

No neck collar.
Compresses really well and keeps it's loft. I get it to pack down to approx 6.5 x 13
I don't have a pic with a compression bag but here...
Thanks for the topo Mule.
I GE'd it and it looks to be a little over 2 miles to the campsite. Is that about right?
Is the group hanging out there the second day or continuing on and if so to...

Lots of great people and great info all over this site if you decide to DIY.

The North Face Aleutian Bx 20 Degree Sleeping Bag
Brand new - never taken out of box.
Bought for me for Xmas gift. I already have the exact bag and love it. I waited too long to return it....
I likeee! The Black and Red is wicked.
Where did you get your D rings?
Do you think you'll add side tie outs? I'm glad I did to my BWDD clone. Worth the extra effort for sure.
Very nice...
