I'm miffed about the weather. I was hoping to get away with not bringing a top quilt.

Haha glad to see you'll be back. I'll only be doing the first 7 miles like last year and I'll be lagging back as usual [emoji23]

I'm totes in! Probably Nick as well. Woot woot!

I wonder if a number of female campers consider things like changing clothes and monthy hygiene and shy away from hammocks. Tents do afford a lot more privacy.

Also, side note: REI has a bunch of...

That's not how bladders work.

Thanks for the review and pics! I'm super intrigued now.

Thanks for everything, Rat! You and Gage are the real MVPs.

I may have over zealously arrived early. I'm parked in a yellow Kia Soul by the gross terlits.

Hey, flyakker, you have me down for 3 but it's just me and my husband.

Hyyyyyyype!

Glad I texted you Saturday about food, Rat. Looks like both work friends flaked today. Back to just +1 for me. :\

Also sorry more questions but where do we pay for parking at Tejas? Stopped into Russell and there's no one here.

How safe is the remote trail head parking for Cedar Hollow? I stopped into it today and I don't know how I feel about leaving me car here for a couple days unattended.

Ooh another work friend has ultralight stuff to try so make that +3 for me

I had a CB and used to do the same when I was 12 or 13. 😂 My handle was "Guppy".

Rat, would you make that +2 for me? My hubs and a work friend are joining the fun.

We hiked out to South Prong, and I'm not a strong hiker. It was super tough for me with no cloud cover. It's only a short jaunt from parking but I took so many rests in whatever shade I could find....

I totally didn't. Just a measly ol' diamond tarp. It worked pretty keeping the rain out. Both our underquilts were damp (his worse than mine) and we did both get some spray into the hammocks, but the...

Drove up to Caprock with my man on Thursday for the weekend for our very first hammock camp without a backup tent. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban and wind advisory, so no campfire all weekend.
...

Wish I had a collapsible light fishing rod. I'd love to get some fishing in while we're there. I have a feeling I'll be dead on my feet though.

Ooh, Japan! Color me envious!

I used that Twisted Root UQ for the very first time last month at Dinosaur Valley SP (SW of Ft Worth). The first night it was windy and in the high 30s maybe low 40s...

If you click to join the drop, you can get shipping prices and you don't actually have to join and pay.

Welcome to you too! I grew up in North H-town. I was actually just camping at Huntsville SP a couple months ago.

I would kill to get one of these. I've blown my camping budget for the quarter already D:

I actually totes signed up for this the first day I joined the forum. I'm super nervous about it since I'm pretty out of shape and not a great hiker (2 miles wears me out pretty hard), I've been...

Welp, evrgrn crash sack arrived and I'll be living in it for the rest of forever thanks. New favorite!

Cheers! There does seem to be a ton of Texans here!

This is a family-friendly forum, so I'll refrain from explaining mine <_<

I have a Buff dorado-pattern neck gaiter that I adore <3 I have a feeling my new favorite might be the evrgrn Crash Sack coming in the mail tomorrow though

Haha, maybe I'm just immature but watching him lay there, swaying gently, and staring off into nothing while peeing was just a little awkward.

I'm not sure how aiming works with lady bits. Even...

Ooh, it sure would be nice to have more ladies!

Ooh, a pee bottle! Here I was squattin' with my GoGirl so it wouldn't splash my feets. Bandana is a great idea too.

I apologize ahead of time for what will likely by a series of questions I'll think up between now and April.

Will we need to bring cooking stuff for dinner like a pocket stove?
Are there any...

So, I gotta be frank here, I've only terribly recently started hiking. I mean in the heat, I'm p. miserable. If I tap out, the boat will rescue my lifeless sweaty body and troll me to the next...

Heyo, may I +1?

Cheers! I actually took that advice from an old post I found before joining the forum and washed it twice. The crinkle is substantially quieter. I'm slightly concerned about moisture getting into the...

I went super cheap and bought a new Brother CE-5000PRW from Walmart for, like, 100$. Granted, I use it for alterations not gear. I've sewn purse and bag webbing with it and have only bent a needle...

I wanted to make a couple ground mats for dry gear and clean feets. Picked up some tyvek, tyvek tape, and grommets. Nothing super special, I'm just proud to have made my very first piece of DIY gear!...

Hey, hey, hey! Austin here, but I grew up in H-town. The pines there are glorious.

Cheers for the warm welcomes, peeps!



Heck yeah, H-town! I grew up in Bammel North Houston! I miss those gorgeous pine trees. <3

Dividend is heeeere! SPENDING SPREEEE *buys socks and a bear bell*

I have the Twisted Root UQ and camped with it a couple weekends ago in 32°F weather. Hands down agree that 35°F is wishful thinking. My guess is this is useful at 45°F at the lowest. I have to add,...

I totes want a Kammock Roo or maybe put it towards one of the hugely overpriced Kammock underquilts, but the truth is almost everything I buy from REI is clearance. My dividend is probably paltry af.

Sounds like a blast. I just might be down for it!

Hey, duders! I'm an avid camper and recently started collecting gear to move from tent to hammock camping (and maybe even backpacking).

Here's my n00b setup:
