I love a good storm. Nothing like rain on the tarp!

I use a loop of bungie shock cord (1/8") attached to all of the tie outs of the tarp and from that run the guy lines to whatever you attach to be it a stake sapling or root. Has worked in 50mph...

We are in!

I have had this rig in my office for years and no problems. 4 inch lag bolts predrilled into the wall studs.

I can bring an extra rig if you need it. Kammock hammock and DIY tarp. I might not be there to demonstrate but you guys will know how to se it up. Marlin straps and Dutch hook and tarp fly and...

We are definitely in. Been planning since last year. Always on our list Have requested days off to be there. Have to see how much family will be there. Already signed on the sheet.

Had a wonderous thunderstorm that night at the base of Mt Mitchell that night and slept like babies all 3 of us including the baby puppy.

Got on a nasty tree and cut the top off of the compactor bag and made a barrier under the straps. Still got a little on me/us. Zoom on on the right side of the attachment to the tree, We had 2...

Got just a little bit of sticky.. Gonna use lighter fluid on the Dutch beetle buckle straps. Always worked on everything else!

OK.. We went to a NC state park and talked to the ranger.. actually he found us. The park had 3 official campsites and upon talking to him he pointed us the best site. I told him that we were were...

Briers under the hammock are not nice. I feel no remorse. Just move the clippings away from your site. Like Shug said don't ask don't tell! Do not be over aggressive.

yes..

Right now our hammocks are running around 2 lbs with suspension. We have Dutch's beetle buckle straps and HG bugnet hammocks around 2 lbs. Can we beat this number?

SIMPLE...cut the pattern out of multiple layers of plywood stagger/overlap the layers to make an arch of the desired length, glue layers together and clamp(you know this) Figure out how to make the...

I made a 12 foot hammock and made it out of some ripstop fabric that I had and it was too slick on the surface. It slept great but it was like sleeping in teflon. I slid every where all the time. ...

I just like 15 feet no less than 13 because I have 12 foot tarps.

A good cheap way to start.

I don't use Tapatalk. Web browser works best for me.

The grosgrain on the ridge line is the outside.

New "string" what I call it will always slip until it gets a little age on it. I use Dutch's reflect it and that and it is always slick until it gets rained on a few times and washes off the slick...

Let's do this later in the year, maybe after bear season opens...I have bear removal equipment as long as that area is not a sanctuary. Never tried bear meat but hear that is good. Stew? Plus it...

If you are DIY don't use waterproof material. Luckily we were in sub freezing temps .They will form condensation, We just shook out the ice but it could have worse. Don't want to wet that downy...

I have a Kammock Roo double and it sleeps pretty good. I have a HG net hammock which is now called the Circadian similar to a Chamelion. Both feel good to me.

What is the sex and name? We know the breed!! We will call he/her (pronouns, you know) Little Pickl. Works both ways!

Yes

Glad y'all had a good time.

Yes! I have a 3 liter for the dirty water and 2 2 liters for the clean water with a standard size sawyer filter all connected with silicone food grade tubing with a pinch valve on the end for water...

pruners don't weigh that much! We are keeping Quinn this weekend so camping is out.

Young enough that I didn't participate in the old Hot Springs hangs nor did I ever know RF while he was living...A point of reference on the time line.

I agree with that, although I am not as longtimer than most. I do have SOME time in.

We ducked out on saturday because our kids and their kids were totally unprepared for cold weather. Therefore we decided to all go home. We had a great time as we always do. Thanks everyone who...

We are still in.

On the other side of the coin..we have mastered the cold and are building the mild weather kit
Sold on the store bought (HG stuff) quilts. No more sleeping bags! 2 40° top quilts on the way. If...

Gonna bring the wood stove for the tent just in case. You guys know that we are snuggle bunnies and like to sleep together. The hot tent is the best thing ever happened for us. Look forward to...

Rules for the wise for sure!

We watched it last night. BRRRRRR! You look like an Ewok with that white fuzzy wake up face! Debbie likes your big hat. Beaver?

They are...We met that weekend.

We need bigger bags!

Amen on that one brotha! I have been down the same rabbit hole!

I use a continuous ridge line and used to use prussics and have recently started using namaclaws because my prussics would get so tight I couldn't slide them easily and sometimes slipped back the...

I vote for pot luck. Can't go wrong there.

Amen on the learning curve, brother. We had the same issue on the night that it got down to 18. Night before it was great.
