Hi Loxygirl,
I was hanging in one of these. I got the plans/ideas from a post here, but I don't know how to get a link for you as I'm on my phone. Here's a picture of mine though. I overbuilt...
Big Bend National Park and/or State Park. Hammocks not allowed in the first, but great hiking and backpacking, and it's a "must see" place for Texans, and all, really. San Angelo has a state park,...
What's the black bulge in the top picture? It looks sort of like a stuff sack or pillow?
Good Looking project!
Take it easy,

Enjoy the Big Bend!
Okay,
Count me in. I added myself to the spreadsheet, and will be PMing the appropriate folks.

Hello from Midland! Check out the Texas group hang in November!

Epic videos from history past, I have heard and seen.
I can't wait to see this one!

Great Pictures!
Take it easy, we'll have to hang together again sometime...

Mike,
It is a full size brisket; I was thinking to cut it in half and stack it, or just slice it already and put the au jus on it? I have it in an oven bag, and will have heavy duty foil to...
Here baking myself. Tree Frogs happy, farm house dog barking. My thermometers broken.
Lost again, I'll see you at pl#8 tonight. (Wed) Gray ford Ranger pickup.
I'm confused though on being at the lake on Thursday? Is that to pre stage items for Saturday? We hike there on Friday,...
I can tote, and I can filter. I'm slightly leery of "short" evening hikes... They tend to get longer and longer, certain previous hidden Lake "short" hiking comes to mind... [emoji1]
Okay,
I can't figure out how to do the fancy quotes and replies to posts made up ahead, and I was, "ahem", backpacking into the Pecos Wilderness Area, (Hermit's Peak) This past Weekend.
So I...
I'm doing a brisket.
Yup, just yank it off their underwings. I've personally never tried it, but I did have some geese on the farm at one time that I recall had a good sized tuft under their wings. That was before I was...
You might try tying a lark's head knot with a length of thin, "non-stretchy" line to the bungee. (Mason's line, or braided fishing line) If your knot on the bungee is still small enough to slide up...
Since I'll be coming down on Wednesday night from Austin, I will be glad to help tote water, and I'll stop and get a rick. (Ricky Ticky tick tick) No ticks...Sorry on a rhyming slant this morning!...
Thanks for the update. Sounds pretty awful!
I'll be making a face net, or be bringing my bee keeper's headnet. And permethrin treatment for everything.
Take it easy,
gmcpcs ...
OK, I will bring a properly wrapped pretty cooked smoked brisket. For some reason I'm not getting the thread updates, I will check my thread subscriptions.
BTW, I had some combat first aid a...
Thank you, MoonBear, for the giveaway and an opportunity to give kudos!
I like Dutch's website, all the videos that he posts. I have yet to dabble into the realm of titanium fiddle bits, but the...
OK, all caught up. Finished belly laughing, and I have repaired my hammock. I will be there, barring unforeseen events. I even have a bed and breakfast plan for the significant other two weeks...
Hello from West Texas, Midland that is. Make plans to attend the annual hang in Fairfield, if we have room this next year
☺ there's a big Texas Hammock Hangers group on FB too. Take it easy,

I did a quick read of this, and have used the hammockfan anchors, which I had the versions where you do your own finishing. I went back to just using straps and a carabiner, mainly because of the...
One time on a business trip I walked into a totally different Wal-Mart, I think I was in Vernon, TX. They had a bolt of the gray material, and I bought all of it :-) I make a point of checking out...
+1 on the tapering. If you taper it, use a smaller diameter wire with a twisted loop, you can put the tapered end in the loop, let it fold over in half, and it will slide "easily"
Also plus 1...
Welcome from Midland, TX.
I was wanting to get some of that space age stuff that is silver with the black holes in it; to see if that would be good for insulating, or a sort of vapor barrier. It...
I am sorry, I was so looking forward to this trip. I didn't realize my daughter's senior prom was the same weekend:scared: I have to back out.
Thanks for your efforts Mr. RockportKayak, we will...
Nothing beats the great laughs from reading through the trip planner threads that are authored by Sergeant Vining.
Please mark me down as attending! I can't miss this one.
I may drag along a...
I am marking my calendar down for this. I've missed the last time, but I believe I was in on one of these adventures...
I don't have any old goat to boil up, but I might get something similar...
I believe if you want a specific spot, you have to call the park office. I did mine on the Texas parks reservation site, and they just gave me a reservation. Usually, when you arrive, you can get the...
Just FYI, it is not good for domestic bees. I poured mine on several ant Hills, and did the house perimeter...
Smart move, get the Dutch bling for the girlfriend, and settle for nite eyez for yourself

I've used heat shrink tubing, after butting together and melting the ends. Or the wire wraps, then heat shrink.
OK,
I am working on getting all the trip details in place. I think I can work in a College visit, to be able to get the kids out of school on Thursday. I will be driving back to Midland from a...
I just pulled the trigger on a reservation also. Time to put that annual state park pass to good use!

Me thinks maybe some sort of crops are growing there?

OK, I am going to subscribe and follow, I would really like to go to this one. It's a pretty long drive though, and I'm hoping to have some other issues resolved by then...so, I'm t**tative :-)

You know, when silicone cures, it "off gasses" a distinct vinegar odor.
I would try some white vinegar on a test sample? You never know until you try.
Good luck. I've done this process, and...
I just wanted to say thanks to Sarge for the cool cookset that Sarah won in the prize drawing. She now has a good reason to try it out.

My wife and I have double hanged a couple of times at Fairfield. I am interested, and am following this. I think it is a good idea. We talk about doing this at times, and to have a planned activity...
I'm so glad the whole family will be coming with me this time, including oldest son who's been doing the college thing at Baylor. Nothing beats a trip to East Texas with the family to hang out with...
Yep, go hang with a bunch of old farts. Like us Texans.

I've done a single layer, with a wool blanket inside, between those a mylar/plastic tarp down to 24*, No wind. I had a pretty robust sleeping bag on top. I can stay pretty comfortable with the single...
I would like to be considered. Either color, thanks!

My tarp silicone process worked out OK, but I did have some uneven coating. I just sat for many hours using an embroider's large hoop to hold the material taught, and rubbed on the tarp material to...
Oh My.
I almost forgot to go back and check this; so now I am officially in. I reserved a spot on the online park reservation site, and it said there are 14 left...
Bringing all the family, if...
Welcome! From Memphis, TX. Former school administrator myself, a 30 day AT hike would definitely fit the bill for summer break :-)

Sarge will get you there...just be prepared to go on a "walk about".
Just kidding. Many adventures can I chalk up to this trail. Take a look at the map, and have a good hike.
Take it easy,...
