How strange, I've hung at Lookout SP several times and the Hosts / Rangers have never told me it wasn't allowed. As a matter of fact I always get a few people stopping by to ask about hammock...

TallPaul,
The Laval fields were pretty amazing. I got lucky it was a relatively cool day low 70s and a good breeze. Could have been a lot worse. The boots are a tough one. Yes, there are a lot of...

Well better late than never as they say. Back in August I spent 11 days on the PCT, hiking from Crater Lake to Mackenzie Pass (Sisters, OR). This was the 1st long distance hike I had done. A buddy...

Don't overlook the Washington & Oregon. From SEATAC &/or PDX you can get to a good number of areas. Mt Rainier, the Olympic peninsula, Mt Hood, and oh yeah there's that whole PCT thing.

Near Brightwood you could do the Ramona Falls trail up to Paradise Park area on Mt Hood. This essentially the PCT, although Ramona Falls is a detour off that, it is well worth it. The Trailhead is...

very generous, thx. I'm in

I found this website: http://www.oregonhikers.org/ to be a great resource

I'll take it. Does Paypal work for you?

I did what 2ply recommended and used a small piece of grippy rubber mat and my pad held in place great! Thx!

Very good indeed! Here's a couple more pics 92173 92168 92169,92170 92171 92172

DanglingModifier - great point about the water bottle - thx

I'm using a Mountain Hardware Sortie back pack. I find it very comfortable, even though I'm complaining about the weight.

I'm not necessarily looking to go ultralight, I was just getting tired of lugging 30lbs up that mountain :laugh:

Thanks - Yes, my wife is very supportive.

Water was not an issue. It was a little scarce between the Sandy River and Rushing Water creek near Paradise park, but after that stretch there were still running steams at regular intervals.

I spent this past weekend on my first solo backpacking trip. Mt Hood isn't too far from where I live so decided to do something familiar and something new. I basically hiked to Ramona Falls, which me...

Count me in, I'll take any color and cover shipping. Very generous of you, thanks.

excellent, thanks for posting

Thanks all. That group hang looks like a blast, i'll definitely have to check that out.

Hi All,
Got into hammock camping last year on kind of a lark. It was a 3 day raft trip on the Deschutes, and it worked great. Now I'm looking at doing a section of the PCT next summer, so I'm trying...
