Well with the rains decided to skip out on this weekend hopefully next weekend brings about better weather. This has allowed us to at least refine the cooking side of the gear list.

Old but new. Looks like I joined back in 2015. Didn't post much of anything, but haven't lost the hammock love, or the light camping ideas. Wife finally wants to hike out past cell service and enjoy...

Had some stuff come up. Gonna have to back out just letting everyone know so the don't think I'm lost in the woods.

I wound up using what I think is 18 guage wire for splicing. It was leftover from an underground dog fence. The cat 5 wire might work but I felt it was to small for me to try. I did use a single...

I have a partial roll of 9' house wrap tyvek and the tape. Just curious if it would worth making a set of snakeskins for my tarp. Only thing I would be out of is the time to do it since I already...

Have to make sure it is the braided masons line not twisted type. I could never get a long enough bury on it to trust it for use. Got 180' of zing it coming I can't wait to play with.

Hammock madness. I've been all through Jennings state forest in my younger years. I've just never hiked through it any. I've been in the area for 21 years. Wouldn't mind trying to go in at clayhill...

Kev greetings were actually working really close to to St auggie. We are doing condos in the world golf village right now.

Would love to head out for the last gasp, but don't wanna rush myself to fast and put together a sloppy pack. Still need a bugnet and tarp. I don't wanna buy something cheap and fast just to use as...
