I had an order through Garage Grown Gear that came Frome LiteAF on Nov 28th that used USPS. My package stopped in St. Louis on dec 6th with no tracking movement till yesterday the 17th when it...
Excellent choice. I have never been to Grayson Highlands but it's high on my list. Hope everything goes well. Happy Trails [emoji41]

No problem. Lol, I'm just waking up in Lusk Creek Wilderness now. Very pretty here but the trails are much more rugged than Garden of the Gods. Many more rocks on trail and more horse usage....

That's a bummer you guys didn't get a sale you were hoping for. I know what it's like to pinch pennies or have to work overtime for non essential purchases and this gear is really expensive. That...

I have HG Econ Phoenix with 3oz overstuff and it's great. Have not noticed any smells. That said I have not had it wet or in humid conditions yet. I believe any quilt by any brand that uses duck has...
I'm not really a knot guy but I had to LOL when I got to the part "during a particularly long staff meeting" and I don't even go to meetings, just funny to hear a good example of how much most of us...
Sounds like a great trip. I personally really enjoy it when the coyotes start singing at night. I know they can be a real pain in the arse for many people but when I'm in the woods and they start...
The Dutch $30 wide shows out of stock no matter what combination of fabric color, ridgeline, and suspension you try. Bummer to cause that is a great deal on a 68" to 70" wide hammock with no seams

Yep.... 40* Phoenix. I'm 6'2" also and it's great. I was nervous when making the purchase but so glad I did for the weight, cost and volume savings. I've taken it to it's limit in no wind and was...
So sorry for your loss.... Beautiful, descriptive and sorrowful write up. God Bless you and your son

I want to apologise for 2 things here.
1 - That I went on this trip. I took many precautions but I'm not going to explain cause I shouldn't have went. There are so many who are staying home and I...
7 months since my last outing and I finally got out. I drove 4 hrs south on a Thursday to Cove Hollow trailhead to start a roughly 6.5 mile hike to the natural spillway at little Cedar Lake.

Wow! Great photography and edits [emoji41] I don't know why but the composition of the dead tree in the marsh really talks to me. Thanks for sharing [emoji106]

Hiking in trail sandals really is a great experience. I did many 5 to 10 mile hikes in Xero Z Trail sandals and they were great. I wore them down a little quicker than I feel they should have but I'm...
I mostly cancelled to stay home with my family. Got 3 kids age 6 to 14. That weekend was when things with Covid-19 got kinda scary. Panic shopping that we stayed away from, uncertainty about work and...
I'll 2nd the River to River in southern Illinois. I haven't done the entire trail yet but the few small sections that I have day hiked were great. I hadn't heard of the twin lakes loop in Indiana yet...
Interesting piece. Very different from your first set. I studied this for awhile and very much enjoyed the distraction. The fun of looking at art is it creates different ideas and story's for each...

Thanks for the idea but I was thinking just a blanket. No snaps, strings, or foot boxes. Just a nice baffled blanket with synthetic. Feel this would make it durable, lightweight, inexpensive and if I...
A lightweight (16 oz. or less) synthetic 50 degree blanket. No frills just a water resistant durable blanket for warm weather. Lots of cheap options out there but most over 16 oz. and not quality

I've got a UGQ Bandit topquilt and Hammock Gear econ under quilt. To me the quality of both is excellent and I would definitely buy from both again and probably will someday. I have also noticed the...
A quick search of average temps there in sept shows lows in the 50's. So those quilts might be a little warm but you can vent the under quilt and throw back the top quilt so they would work. I would...
Very cool[emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]....Was doing some research on the North/South Trail in the LBL and found a video of this guy on the trail but in the background he was using something I've never...

Funny, but Hmmm. Maybe something like that. Stake down the 4 corners and run your hammock through it. I think that in particular would be to heavy for backpacking tho.

Cool report...I have that tent, it's pretty good for a tent. I mostly do 1 nighters and try to keep it inside 4 hrs from me and this place fits the bill and I've never heard of it, so thanks for that...
