Dutch said if I used them he wouldn't beat me up.
Mojo found a creek!
Leaving sterling Pond we work our way to Bear Hollow shelter barely beating the rain. The next morning we make our way to VT15, complete the car shuffle and part ways. From Noon on I am walking...
Thanks for the note!
Rock climbing with a bit of hiking ;)
Only 17.2 left to go...one more trip!
May 2016, nine months since my last hike on the Long Trail. In August of 2015 I suffered the second injury to my right knee and wasn't able to complete my goal of hiking all 272 miles in 2015. I have...
If heavy rain and no wind I spread my tarp wide. If wind is in the equation I go low.
Thanks Klauss(ey) - I like takin that tree shelf out for a walk every once and a while...even though it is shiny.
Glad to provide a bit of inspiration. Here is to getting out again!

An interesting read. http://www.yellowstonepark.com/bears-to-test-bear-canisters/
It is well documented that once a bear is successful obtaining food, easily, it will return. Additionally, in popular overnight areas bears have been known to associate to the "bear tree" "bear pole"...

This is what happened to your Ursack, potentially for hours.

Although unfortunate that this happened to you, I would say it worked as intended. This (or any bear)...
Agreed! DuctTape kept his chin up went hiking. Great attitude to a crappy situation.
Glad it may help (in the future).
It is the sea to summit. I have had it for a long time. Rain on...
Trips don't always go as planned, and this one sure fit that to a T. After some bad luck early in the morning we make the best of it and end up having a blast! We are in the Silver Lake Wilderness...
Welcome aboard.
Here are the basics I look for. I hope this helps.

Excellent observation and point! Having seen this I will never pass by the board again. Thank you.
I hang mine on the headend of my hammock.
As the well used backpacking quote goes, "you pack your fears" - and fears seem to be really heavy. I share in this blog how I overcame my fears and was able to carry a lighter load in doing so....
IF you are worried about your buckles being exposed you can try double larks heading your continuous loop, thus bringing your buckle closer to your hammock and more underneath.

Greetings - glad to have you a part of our world.
Here is the original Video from Knotty himself. This may help you decide and you can hear from him why he came up with it. I hope this helps.

I will not be attending as I am off to New England for college tours. Have a blast, take a ton of pictures and let's make a plan for another meet up there.
When picking a Dutch make sure you bend at the knees. He has a ton of titanium in his pockets and you don't want to throw your back out.
v2.0 are only 2 weeks out! (I have it marked on my calendar)
4' Kevlar 2.2 huggers, Sewn on Dutch Clips and V1.0 Speed hooks.
Thanks Jeff. Here is part 2
Mix and match quilt ratings. Often in the transition months (when winter is still around and summer isn't quite here or the same in fall) I will bring a cooler rated under quilt and a warmer rated...
Agreed, as do you (as I understand from reading your post). The word partner is perfect.

It does get better (quicker). Stick with it and you will find your system and rhythm. Here is a video that may help iron out a few of the kinks.
Best wishes,

You could use fleaz on your ridge-line no problem at all. Here are some other options you may want to consider as well.

The LHHT is terrific, you will have a blast. I would head over to FeatheredProp and reach out to Dane. He is a hammock camper and has thru hiked the trail many times on top of sections. He is...
You have been hired as the PR guy :) (it doesn't pay anything) - congratulations! Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks brother! I hope all is well.
Thanks Grizz! From one junkie to another....
I have used that watch for 3 years now and it is still going strong. The one function worth memorizing is how to re calibrate the altimeter. As I...
Thanks for the note!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated!
Great video!

Thanks for watching,

I do have a flag bag, from Marty at WildernessLogics. It isn't customized though, it says WildernessLogics on it. I searched his website to link to it and couldn't find it.
However, I did find it...

The site is up and running, it is called MakeYourGear - it looks like you made it personal by adding own :) see if that link works better for you.

Yes, custom ordered. Doors only on one end. Being honest, I am not sure what exactly it is called (other than mine). I spoke with Adam and explained what I wanted and he had Harry do all the rest of...
