We have missed the last few hangs but Ike the Vizsla and I will be there Friday and up for all the festivities. Looking forward to it!

Great hang, great meal, great company!
And most excellent coffee Snowcamper!
Ike and I say thanks to all.

Ike the vizsla and I plan to attend. Will bring sausage peppers and onions along with some awesome link pepperoni for the Italian theme.

@jhp45auto did you bring your Vizsla last time?[/QUOTE]

Yes, Ike was the one in the fashionable neoprene camo vest. My faithful hiking buddy in all but the coldest weather. We are looking forward...

I am in for this weekend and looking forward to it. Actually it will be my dog Ike the Vizsla who is far more social and better mannered than me who is coming and is allowing me to tag along.

Howdy from the sand hills.

Same here with the disclaimer that my stuff sack blew away in a recent storm, but I do like it in outside pocket now

+1 to both. "Are you watching water boil, again" has been heard in my house more than once.

I started with para cord until I found out how much water they can retain. Then went zing it which is fine. I saw on this forum someone using

Dyneema 300# braided fishing line, along with these...

Sorry Ike and I missed out this time, had Boy Scout campout this weekend. We only had a dusting of snow on our tarps this morning in Bentonville.

I just weighed in last night at 21 pounds including food, hiking poles and chair for 2 night trip.
I have an Ohm 2.0 which claims total volume of 63L, but main body and front pocket is more like...

I may give morrow mt a try.

Anyone headed to Uhwarrie this weekend? Looks rainy but 60F in middle of January, I am gonna take it while I can.

If only I had gleaned all the great lessons learned and good tips available at this site from all these tree hanging authorities when I first jumped into hammocking.

My failure was to employ the...

Greetings from the Sandhills

Sorry to hear about the damage, but what a great story you will be able to tell! Woke up once myself to a raccoon tickling my butt as he was going through my pack under my hammock. But not as scary...

X2 on the backyard testing. just switched to full length 20F HG UQ from 20F Pheonix and the extra coverage on the feet was incredible. was down to 30 last night and didnt even put on my thick wool...

Well done, have just received my incubator but not yet attached to my hammock. Love my pheonix, but looking forward to warmer feet with incubator. Great explaination of use of suspension system.

"Your order has been shipped!"

Incubator 20 is on the way to its new home.

Thanks for the flash sale!:cool:

So I guess I missed something- the Phincubator, is that a pheonix you custom order longer? I just ordered a standard incubator- as I am in the "almost make a 3/4 work" but would do better with more...

Ike with post breakfast blues before we hit the trail Saturday. Was a great hang, thanks to all.

I have acquired these items and plan to install this weekend. I think I actually went with .8mm just to use for guyline tie outs.

Will have to try this just using the large trash bag I use as a liner of my pack. At home as demonstration of course, who would ever want to actually have to sleep on the ground? I have been on the...

I have the 20 Pheonix and 20 burrow. THe burrow is just perfect. The puffy jacket around feet make a huge difference to me. That said I did just order a 20 incubator. I am hoping that additional...

Brilliant. Just brilliant. I am inspired to head to the Gorge this year, hopefully before too cold. That wind on a fall day sounded chilly, hate to think what it will feel like in December.

I just received a surprise pass and am going to make it. Waiting on UPS delivery so may be late Friday, but will make it. I way over did it on my last trip to Uwarrie, and the elevation changes on...

Got me for a 20 incubator. Have a 20 Pheonix and decided to try for warmer feet.
Thanks for pushing me off the fence and into the "multiple quilts" category...:shades:

I leave mine on but does sound like good excuse for another hammock for winter and mosquito cloud free nights.

I have the HH skins with a Superfly. I am still not happy with the skins- tight as you described. And all the lines I leave tied on I never seem to pack neatly. I went from the plastic dollar store...

My big Vizsla sleeps on ground under me on tyvek. Well normally I put out the tyvek and he ends up making a nest on the ground. Winter I try a pad but he is usually ends up in the dirt and leaves...

I have the 20 Phoenix and 20 burrow. Has been great, but I have worked for 2 years dealing with cold feet on occasion. Am going to pull the trigger on a 20 incubator. I am 6'1 and while I love my...

I can not wait any longer, headed to Uwharrie this weekend, though highs in 90s, lows still in 70s. Can't help but pack my 20F hammock gear top and bottom quilts- just still so much lighter than...

Where did you find the small figure 8 piece?

I used them when starting out and didn't want to spring for snakeskins. You can get by for several trips with them, even torn they work- just look horrible. They do tend to pick up every pine...

Very interesting. Will have to track down some that size, not a real common size line for bass fishing in the local lakes...

I just hung my OES up for night in backyard. AC went out at my house so that is my excuse for a sweltering steamy Eastern NC night hang. I have a Superfly, which is cool, but still love my OES...

Good choice on Superfly- my only regret and that of several others you may read is that I didn't get Superfly sooner.

And for big fly- go with the blue cheap tarp if your other one doesn't work...

I upgraded to Superfly and just wish I had gotten it sooner.

The underquilt is the best investment you can make if you want to be a consistently warm tree dweller. I did ok for a few years with pad, but UQ is absolutely the way to go.

Elevated greetings from eastern nc!

I went with hiking poles, after I had reluctantly started to use them and now understand the benifit. I saw the video about setting up the Superfly pullouts with long lengths of line and a stick...

Welcome from a Texan who has been living outside the homeland for almost 20 years. While red dirt music can still make me misty eyed, enjoying the mountains and sea on the East coast helps the...

Wow, looked chilly. I switched to a Superfly for the doors, and happy with my choice so far.

Take the advise about underquilts and budget for one. It truly makes the difference for comfortable hammock hanging in cool weather.

You can be warm with a pad, but you will likely have some...

I am good December - March. But owe pictures.

Great choice!

Welcome from Eastern NC

20 Burrow and Pheonix for me. Great investment. Keep considering adding a 40 burrow but 20 is just awesome

Still going with 20 burrow and 20 Phoenix for now, and venting as described. Have a snugpack but it seems to weigh and pack about same as burrow. So for now I can kick it off to vent until nights...

I will have my Dutch oven and will contribute coconut cherry chocolate cake to the cause Saturday. Looking forward to my first group hang.

Packed and ready to roll late this afternoon.
