I’ll be there Thursday afternoon, barring any compulsory OT when I get off that morning. Look forward to finally hanging with y’all!

Good stuff Layne! Thanks for posting...

I recently received my JRB Greylock 4 and High Sierra Sniveller and had the chance to take them out this past weekend for their first outdoor hang.

I chose these quilts to make up my winter...

I did a overnight trip on Sunday...came in from the south in a front-wheel drive vehicle - took it slow and made it to Pinchin. When I was walking down 105 from Conley trailhead there were a few...

I have a Sawyer Squeeze filter that I run on a little homemade gravity setup...

Junior Gorge Rat here...after a few years of dinking and dunking around the gorge, I decided to do a longer trip. I had recently received my new Eldorado and JRB quilts so I wanted to take them out...

Thanks...I am heading out for a two-nighter next week and I'll be ready for the chilly temps. So glad they had these in-stock and ready to go.

I got my new Greylock 4 and High Sierra Sniveller in the mail today! Thanks JRB - they look great! The dark olive goes great with my WB Eldorado's color.

A question about the Greylock - is the...

I think my main reasons for going to the gorge is just to stop at Louise's after a trip!

We just got our first measurable amount of snow here at the house in Shelby NC...I imagine that spot I was at for this trip is covered in snow right now.

Recently I took a overnight hang on the Art Loeb Trail...

Hiked in from the Davidson River Campground end, and found a hang site with a nice view.

I had my Dream Hammock Raven, sans...

Yep...done that before, and it works - but I'm a squirmer, and I hang my hammock with a very loose ridgeline for my ideal hang, and sometimes just pulling it up it would fall down during the night...

Just wanted to drop a note about my Warbonnet Superfly tarp experience. I have a hex tarp but was wanting a tarp with doors for a cold-weather trip I took recently where I was concerned about...

Just wanted to share my Raven experience. I've had it on several trips now, and many hangs in the backyard...

It is a single-layer 1.6 HyperD in Hunter Green. I am utilizing the Dutchware Beetle...

No worries...I appreciate the heads-up. I've got to do some training before the next go-rounds to get ready - I'm a Lowcountry guy who's lived on flat-land for most my life ;)

Earlier this week I made the drive to the upstate of South Carolina to do a section of the Foothills Trail, starting at Oconee State Park and finishing at Sloan Bridge Picnic Area - about 24 miles....

They are the OR "Stamina" gaiters...I like them b/c of the drawstring built into the top. Plus when I got them they were marked-down, so that helped, too...

I was pleased with that Bulger...

I finally got to hit the trail with my hammock and do a overnighter on my local trail system. The Palmetto Trail runs from the coast to the upstate of South Carolina. My trip took place on the Lake...

I'm happy just to see that Sector Seven remains secure...

Great idea! How much extra was that mod?

My glasses don't have spring-locking mechanisms on the legs, so they don't latch onto the ridgeline too well...so I hung a piece of ribbon off the ridgeline to bowtie them when I am napping.

I was standing 20 feet away from another guy who got struck by lightning. I will never forget that loud piercing shriek of the lightning bolt and the immediate thunderclap. The hair on my arms...

I recently saw a story on social media about cows killed by a lightning strike...they were all sheltering under a tree when it happened.

Do you worry about lightning while strapped to a tree? ...

Welcome from Charleston, SC...lots of good info here!

Welcome aboard!

Congrats Shug!

Longtime tent camper here...I know a couple folks who have used hammocks for a number of years, but I never gave it much thought - until Shug. I stumbled upon his Youtube channel and I finally...

I appreciate the advice - thanks!

I have a question about the Fronkey-style net - does the drawstring close the entry completely when drawn tight? Thanks...

I think this would help! Thanks for the heads-up...I'll check it out and see if I can rig something up like this on the hammock.

I have a nylon double hammock - it must be around 6.5' wide. I think I found my lay angle on it but I have a LOT of material hanging down over my head and feet. The main body of the hammock is...

Thanks! My experience with hammocks is limited to the rope ones lounging under the shade tree. Keeping all options open, as I've never slept in a hammock or experienced the diagonal-lay of these...

Well I finally got my first hammock on order. Being a lifelong tent guy, I decided to go the cheap route to give it a try before dropping the big money...I had a $50 Amazon gift card to spend so I...

When I was a kid I had a CB radio..."Pinestraw" was my handle.

Thanks for the info! BTW I'm up in the north area...

I guess with time in it your body knows what to do to stay upright...

I'm one of those guys who's a little top-heavy :D I can picture the rude awakening with a sore noggin!

Anyone ever accidentally flip out of the Draumr onto their head?

Thanks for the invite, but I'll be with some friends fishing that weekend...appreciate it, though!

Hi guys! I'm Lewis from Charleston SC...

I'm one of those guys who stumbled upon Shug's YouTube channel when looking into hammocks for camping...he steered me here. Still looking for that very...
