[QUOTE=Phantom Grappler;1978314]I’m gonna put underquilts, pack, hammock, and a few other items in my car to drive out any moisture before packing for John Rock Hang/QUOTE]

This has me thinking,...

There is also no escaping the untrained wildlife management officer. I highly recommend helping the wildlife management agency of your state create training materials about hammock camping.

You should be fine so long as you use proper straps (1-1/2” or wider, 2” preferred) and use LNT protocol.

Last year, the NC Hammock Hangers (Facebook group based in RDU) held education sessions at Wake County Public Libraries around the county. I was one of the instructors at two of the libraries.

Welcome to the Triangle!

I’m in Apex and try to get to the woods every other month.

Most of my gear is now OWL. I was in a bind for a really cold winter hang and sent a message via the website. Marty called me. They did a custom build. I picked it up just before heading to the...

Agree with Joyce Kilmer. I would also add the MST along the rim of Linville Gorge.

Love my WB Traveler. I have a different Hammock that competes against the BB XLC. I've struggled with buyers remorse and have considered purchasing the BB XLC just to do a comparison video.

Oh... And the poles are really useful for turning the hammock into a bivvy sack when there are no trees. (Such as in the southern part of the PCT.

It's a little of both. It doesn't really affect the lay. It mostly keeps the top of the sides off of me so I don't have to worry about waking up with my face on the bug net with a bunch of...

Bears Den along the AT is a great place.

+1 on the Prussics. I had to use 6 wraps a week ago on my zingit from Dutch. Worked like a champ.

I've heard others say something about that. I just leave a biner on the loop. I also replaced my slings with a loop from Dutch (dutchware.com) and then grabbed a new set of whoopies from Dutch: each...

I have a Wilderness Logics OMW. Love it. Pretty believe most all of the comments are spot on. I have a friend a JRB and one using the SLD. all are great options.

I was thinking the same. Are these DIY tarps from SilNylon!

I can personally recommend Grayton Beach Florida State Park and Big Lagoon State Lagoon. Big Lagoon isn't technically on the beach: it is on the Intercoastal. It has plenty of trees for hanging (and...

If you like Pisgah, there is a 12 mile loop around Wilson's Creek I like. Also, Uwharrie has a ~12mi. figure 8 that is not especially difficult.

Man. I wonder what was in that bear's head.

Thanks for all the input.

Don't forget Eno State Park. I hang at Fanny's Ford a lot. I also hang down at Raven Rock State Park every now and then.

Are there enough trees in Sedona area trails to even hang? Or should I plan on tent camping?

Trails I'm considering:

Nuts. I'm having to back out. Heading out of town for work. Sorry folks. I'll edit my name off the spreadsheet.

Mine is a nickname that was given to me in the Army. I was consistently chosen to be Opposing Forces (OpFor) in field training exercises. I got pretty good at infiltrating our troops, sneaking up...

Prince William Forest is pretty good. The location is close to the Metro Rail station which Will get you to all the sites in DC.

Put me down for one cooler. Do you need me to load it with ice?

Bummer.

I need to RSVP.

I use a Wilderness Logics Big Daddy, standard size on my DD MJH. I love it!

I absolutely love my DD Modular Jungle Hammock. Welcome to the club! I use my rain fly under the hammock for warmth, and a separate Big Daddy tarp from the great folks at Wilderness Logics on a...

I turned my DD Hammocks Modular Jungle Hammock bag into a bishop bag using the instructions with my grommet kit from Lowes.

I did the same with the silnylon bag that came with my Big Daddy tarp...

Greetings. There are a bunch of us hangers around the area. I'm in Apex. I'll be hanging in the Eno River group site in the cold and wet with a bunch of others.

Welcome to the tribe! I'm in Apex and have hung out all of the southeast. The summer I spent a lot of weekends doing segments of the MST. They are doing a ribbon cutting on a new segment from the Eno...

Welcome to the greatest forum on the Web! I can't wait to hear how this turns out. I'm in Apex.

Ok @FavioR... I was so inspired by your work that I went and found these plans:

Any chance we could get plans for this thing? It's a beauty!
