I understand that the 1st Annual Gumbo Hang is merging with the Raven Cliff hang...So I will be coming and my wife (Dosei-Doe) might be coming as well.

Looking forward to it!

Woohooo!

One of my favorite hangs of the year!

Just 3 weeks away!

I am SO looking forward to it!

Fall Sprawl starts THIS THURSDAY!



*happy dance*

Just ONE more week until FALL SPRAWL 2017!!!

!!!Woot-Woot!!!

At the moment, the weather forecast for the weekend of the hang...
Sunny & mild. Highs in the mid 70's, lows in the low 60's.

Get an 11 footer...Sparrow, Thunderbird, or Dangerbird...in 1.6 HyperD (ultimate comfort) or 1.0 Robic (the "titanium" or "cuben fiber" of hammock fabrics at the moment).

Based on your criteria, I recommend an 11' single layer in HyperD XL, wide as possible. Meets your weight requirements, is one of the most comfortable fabrics available, and is still a somewhat...

Just go with HyperD XL, wide as possible.

Dream Hammocks are generally held in high esteem for their comfort and lack of calf ridge...especially the 11 footers made using the HyperD XL fabric (extra wide).

If you side sleep in the fetal position, you can get away with a smaller hammock. If you sleep on your side but only slightly bent knees, you'll be happier in the bigger hammock.

This...in an 11', 60" wide...or 10', wide as possible...

Personally, I don't thing you need to sacrifice...

Neck pain often means that the neck needs supported. Grab a towel, jacket, whatever and play with wadding it up and putting it under your neck. Many people find that the horseshoe shape neck/travel...

Yup...dates should be February 20 - 21, 2016

Yippee! I'm hoping for clear skies and COLD temps!

Nylon does sag when wet. That is normal for the material. Nothing to worry about.

And so my first year with the Palmetto State Hangers has ended, and my second has begun! This year I was able to bring not only my wife, but also another couple that enjoys camping. We enjoyed a...

If a person happens to arrive a little early...like perhaps Wednesday evening...I'm guessing that the proper way to do it would be to just pay for a regular site and set-up on it for the...

...and if you happen to bring more than you need, there is bound to be someone that will be delighted that you did.

Just 1 more week! ! !

Ohhh...that is sweet!

TWO!
MORE!
WEEKS!!!

Century Hang!!!

MSR Ground Hogs are my stake of choice for just about anything that needs to be staked out. (And all of my cordage is reflective.)

The only tents that can "hang" are those that are MADE to hang, such as the Tensile Stingray. Backpacking tents are not made of fabrics capable of supporting the weight of the occupant. Attempting...

:lol: :thumbup: :woot: :thumbup: :lol:

...and a 72" HyperD hammock or two for people to check out?

:)

Whoo-Hooo!
Look'n forward to it!

I will not be able to make it.
:(
(I've updated the sign-up sheet & facebook event.)

One thing that might be appreciated by many...a "Custom Work Gallery" on the Dream Hammock website (and on Dream Hammock's Facebook profile). It would help others see what all can be done, and...

<<<Known to occasionally jump on a soapbox and rant...

The problem, in my opinion, with so many of the products that use thermally reflective material is that they put it in the wrong place. For optimum comfort you want your body heat to pass through...

Finding the right material is indeed the trick. The "ideal" material would be thin, strong, light, silent, and (ideally) breathable. Mylar fails miserably in the silent & breathable categories. ...

Not exactly sure where would be the best place to post this, but I figured since Papa Smurf / Dream Hammocks seem to be up on the latest stuff I'd post it here...

Are there any thermally...

I am SO looking forward to this hang!!!

Awesome!!!

Thanks all y'all, I thoroughly enjoyed my first hang!

The place I see the ultra light HyperD fabrics being desirable is for top covers, since they are not a load bearing feature but they are an area that colors such as the Robins Egg Blue would be...

Making coffee is easy. Really don't even need anything special to do it. If you can boil water, you can make coffee. Each of the various methods produce a different tasting cup o joe. Personally,...

Highs in the high 70's, lows in the low 60's...according to the extended forecast for Santee.

I will be bringing my video camera & batteries. I've got a couple 12hr batteries and an 8hr battery, so we should be fine for battery life. The hard drive in the camera will hold 4 hours of video...

Just in case you didn't already know...
REI is having a Labor Day sale, and all Hennessy products that REI carries are 25% off. Sale ends 9/01/14. Sale prices are good in-store as well as online....

I will not know for sure if I can come until Friday evening, and if I do come it would be just me. At this point, best to assume I will not be coming.

If you look here:

You will notice they currently have NEW in bold red letters for that model.
It is basically a Safari Deluxe Asym Zip with a...

I wish I could come, but I think work is going to get in the way...
Sounds like a nice place, I'll have to check it out sometime.

For no-brainer knotting, get a couple knot-bones from Nite-ize.
