The Brule down through the Menominee to Lake Michigan at Marinette/Menominee would be a nice clean stretch. A few portages involved.
It's the border betwixt UP of MI and Wi. Some beautiful spots...

It is a beautiful spot. Nice thing is it is not crowded. I've canoed/camped there a few times when my kids were young. Another fine spot is Big Island Lake. It's northeast of Escanaba, south of...
Thanks all. I really wanted this to work out since I can't find shock cord locally and wanted to get going on this before I miss all this beautiful winter weather...
I guess I'll just slow down...
I like the clew suspension design I have seen by leiavoia. I'm wondering if I can build the clew with some 1mm dyneema and make a final 12" section beyond the ring with 1/8" shock cord. I'm...

Thanks HF!
I watched this guys youtube video and despite his failure to test a product in some resemblance of a scientific method I still was unsure of the ability of these warmers to do the job. ...
Never heard of those. I'll hafta give them a looky see.
Yup, those are the ones. I have used them extensively (I live in NE Wisco on the UP Michigan border) but have no experience with them in a hammock. I have read the 6 to 8 hours burn time and I know...
Yeah, I've had similar results with years old packs. I think I'll buy new before my trip as I cannot remember when I bought the ones in my closet :shades:
What are your thoughts on whether Hot Hands warmers, toe, hand or body, are effective in use while winter hammock camping? Last through the night? Too warm?
I will be camping with less than...
+1 on the Ridge Outdoor Gear Lay Flat. I have it and first thing I did was replace the suspension with Amsteel. Then I seam ripped the stuff sack off and converted it with a hole/grommet on the...
I have a Chill Gorilla 10x10 that I've used camping for three years and will now use as a hammock tarp. It has held up well. I think most backpacking purists would balk at it as it is kinda heavy,...
Ridge Outdoor Gear has a tarp with a window. I have no experience with it. Just throwing it out there. Seems like a simple diy modification to an existing tarp if you can find the right material....
That all makes sense. Thanks for your input.
My hammock doesn't have zippers on each side, so, I'm thinking moving the top cover back away from over my head may be easier with it inside rather...
Thanks cmc4free! If I stand on my house roof and look east I can see Norway (I'm in Niagara). Matter of fact my Pa-in-law grew up on Belgiumtown Road. You don't have to reveal your secret fishing...
Heck yeah! Thanks Overland. That gives me some great ideas. That's almost exactly what I was thinking about.
In photo two and three is there a bug net installed? I can't quite see one in those...
I considered the Dutch Chameleon with moonlight top cover for the longest time but I just couldn't swing the cost. I'm sure from the reviews it is worth the cost, unless you don't have the funds,...
First i want to say to the HF community to give your thoughts to HF's Rick Towle who's parents had a house fire recently. I sent a note to Rick about how to get activated and learned he was dealing...
