Sorry, we will be going in mid September. That is what works the best for us.

I am looking to do a 5 or 6 day hike in the Smokey's and if it was going to be the only time that I hike there, what are the best sights to see?? I would appreciate a list of the 'must see' sights or...

I am in for bundle #3

My boys and I went down there last year and did a complete loop around the gorge. We did about 65 miles and saw most of the sights there. We wanted to see as much as we could while we were there as...

I hope that the colors that I have been waiting on since November, orange & blue, will be coming back soon!!

I just did a special order color/material tarp with UGQ and it was still done within the three week time frame! They do a fantastic job!

I picked up a Helinox Zero chair and a Helium II rain jacket.

I have a small hip belt that I would be willing to sell. I purchased a used circuit that had a small belt so I bought a medium from ULA.

I will be there!

The winter hang here in Michigan is held at a stat park and there a a few of those electric bushes around. I think that I have seen a few cords running to the short square bushes!

Sold to Taiterz pending funds.

I purchased it at the end of 2016 and it has less than 30 nights use. Most of the trips have been weekend trips with one longer trip each year. It has never been left up in the sun for extended...

The information below was taken from the National Guide to Safe Scouting. There is no policy against hammock camping!!

SUMMARY

Camping in hammocks has gained in popularity over the past 10...

If there is nothing in the Guide to Safe Scouting that prohibits hammocks, they can not do that. Our council here in Michigan sells hammocks in the National Scout Shop that they run.

I would ask...

I have a North Face -40 bag, left from my tent days, that I have used as a top quilt. It worked okay except the hood would need to be tucked in when using it as a top quilt.

I now have a 0 degree...

I use the GearGrams app, I Started using it when it was in the beta stages. There is a library for all of your gear and then you can create different lists. I currently have a spring/fall list, a...

myerstechhammocklab on eBay sells them as well. You can buy the complete tarp ridgeline or just the toggles.

The Dutch Shorts are on Mass Drop for $25 if anyone is interested. You can even upgrade to a couple of the printed versions for a few dollars more. The ship date is September 26, 2018.

I will take #2 Rudgerunner.

I use a diy 0 degree top quilt and underquilt along with a 2QZQ UQP. I also have a diy down hood if needed and some down booties. I use the same hammock and tarp that I use the rest of the year. I...

I will take set #1

These are my trekking poles after the critter finished chewing on them!

I used to do this but last summer I camped in the same spot for a few days on the family property. When I took the poles down, I realized that something had been chewing on the handles. Maybe going...

I will be attending. I am willing to share a pizza with Redoleary. If they can do deluxe on my half that would be great, if not I will take whatever. I am unable to get into the google doc so I hope...

Does it count if I only used the down from the Costco quilts?? I used blue membrane 10 for the inside, white 1.0 Hyper D for the outside, 3” baffles and a little 1.9 robin egg blue to trim the sides...

Looks like an awesome time! Enjoy them while they are around! My two sons and I did a trip last year and we are going to make it an annual event!

One more project completed! I made three food bags (14” x 27”), one for each of my sons and one for my grandson. I used the 1.1 silpoly, plastic buckles, D rings & 3/4” webbing from Rip Stop by the...

I am not sure who said it but someone said that a dark color on the inside would absorb your body heat better/faster and that is where you want the heat, in your down. I started using black on the...

There is no real need to trim them. You can roll hem both edges together at the same time. There is no need to do them separately. I have started using a strip of another color to give the quilts a...

I have several quilts that I am planning to complete this winter. The first is a 20* set for my son, a 0* set and a 40* set for my self. I have the 20* set sewn and the undequilt is complete except...

There is a pattern out there if you search for it, I don’t remember where now but I used it to make one. I think that I put too much down in mine, I got too warm on the last winter camp out using it!...

I put the handles down so the tip fits in the D ring. This has worked well for me and I have not had any problems until this past summer, when I stayed up on our property in the same place for four...

I borrowed my buddy’s tarp for my son to use on our Porcupine Mountain trip. He has the warbonnet snake skins and I noticed that they are smaller than the skins that I have from SLD and my mesh skin...

I think that I would only use the cabins if it was maybe a winter trip. It was really nice listening to the river laying in the hammock. The first and third nights we were by rivers and the second...

Now you can just give them your credit card! :lol:

While we were up on the tower it started getting real dark and the clouds were moving our way fast! We got down from the tower, stowed our phones and put on the pack covers. We made it...

I decided to take a trip up to the Porcupine Mountains and since my wife does not like me to go alone, I took my sons with me. This is the first backpacking trip that the three of us have done...

I guess nobody needs a small belt for their ULA pack so I will just purchase the medium that I need.

Here are a few pictures of the foot box with the quilt turned inside out.

I have made a square foot box, it seems easier to sew than a round one. I usually put a couple of baffles in it as well. You can see my design near the bottom of this page.154313154314

I just picked up a ULA Circuit but it has a small hip belt. The pack is a couple of years old but it is in excellent condition, I can't find anything wrong with it. I would like to trade the small...

I think the one from Blackrock Gear is on massdrop right now.

Looks nice! You could bolt another section of the angle iron across the bottom which would prevent it from sinking and keep the two legs from spreading, basically making a triangle. This is just an...

Sorry, would like to go but can't do this on the holiday weekend. Holiday weekends can be really busy there. I was up there a couple of weeks ago with my son. I am going to try the Fife Lake loop...

Thanks! I think that I may have put too much down in it though, I got pretty warm at the winter hang back in February! I think that the low was about 20.

I use this hood that I made, I like it to be separate and only use it when needed.148960

When I know it is going to be cold, I bring along the hood that I made. I like it being separate, I do not want it attached to my quilt.
