We might get an inch by the time it all pushes through. Looks like more coming this weekend though. Should be a great weekend for the FBH!

Hey everyone. Hope you all are well. I have not done any hiking in a few years since my knees just won't allow it anymore. I had to move on to moto-camping on 2 wheels. If there is no call for bad...

Thanks for your question.
These are Premium quilts, not the Econ. IIRC, it is 850 fill power. Certainly goose down and not duck down.
I am selling my HG Incubator 20 and Burrow 20 top and bottom quilts. Both Dark Olive Green 90 Outer Shell, Black 67 Inner Shell, Standard Length and Standard Fill. Both are in great condition and...

I’ve not missed one yet, but this will be the year I do. I have a retirement party to attend for my dad and it’s the 8th. Sounds like you all will have a great time. Be safe, and looking forward to...
Just wanted to share- the roads are clear on I-49 south from Neosho, MO.

That looks like some nasty stuff for the folks in the KC area!
I updated my previous post to directly mention the forecast being for West Fork, AR so we don't get someone in trouble who isn't from...
The West Fork, AR forecast for the weekend looks great compared to our other FBH's. I would be extremely surprised if we see an ice storm. I think it's just gonna be cold and maybe a little rainy...
Hwy runners_low--I don't think you will be disappointed in the BHT, I certainly was not!
So far, I believe the plan is to camp at or near the trailhead Friday night so we can all hang out around...
I made a gear sling from a cheap Grand Trunk 9' hammock. I cut it in half, re-sewed the ends, and added whoopie slings to it. I can use it as a chair if I stop a while for lunch, then when I get to...
Welcome to the forum and the world of hammocks!
These outings are a great place for new folks to learn the ins and outs of hammocking.
As of right now, its looking like the trip will be on...
No, I didn't think that at all! :)
Unfortunately, for us both, there are really no good close options. You either have to drive well into Arkansas or up near the St. Louis area. I've not...
I would not be able to attend the second weekend of January due to my work schedule. If it works better for the group, then I understand.

LOL, I hear ya! Every past hang I have attended required at least 4 hours of driving from where I live in SW MO. I generally just get up early, go eat a good breakfast, the queue up a bunch of Shug...
Just a little more info about Butterfield Hiking Trail....
I have hiked it twice, once with a friend and once solo. Both times I walked between 17.5-18 miles for the entirety of the trip. This...
LOL. I threw Butterfield Hiking Trail out there to see if there was any interest [emoji23]
It’s further south than all other hangs so I wasn’t sure how it would work for all.
If there is...
I'll throw the first vote out there.
Wilderness Trail at Meramec State Park.
I would consider it an easier hike and water is plentiful. There are also a couple of dispersed campsites that...
Lets start a poll on the location. Feel free to add a location to the list to vote on. If I am mistaken on water, please correct me. Its been 2 years since my last hike on any of these trails.

Sorry to hear than Dublinlin! That sounds painful, hope you make a full recovery soon and can knock out some trails again!
To date, we’ve always base camped on night one. This involves a fire, some good food and great fellowship. Then everyone heads out at their own pace the next day to their destination.
Me too! Going to bring the pup again?
It is a great time for sure. Hope you can make it!
My pleasure and glad to be back! Life gets me sometimes and I get wrapped up in adulting---then I forget to make time for myself. Looking forward to some trail time, seeing everyone again and...
I hope you can make it! As -20 replied, kids are always welcome. All of the hangs we've had in the past have been family-friendly.
I do not know what your experience level is but one I thing I...
In addition to the above suggestions, you should also watch the video Warbonnet put out regarding the setup of the BlackBird hammock, but it is applicable to all other hammocks as well (less the...
Good Morning Everyone!
It's time to start planning the Winter 2020 Frozen Butt Hang! IIRC we generally shoot for the first weekend of the New Year. New Year's day is on a Friday this year and I...
I’m good with Hawn.
Looks like the new XLC top covers in any natural color are out of stock too! Hopefully more get added to inventory before the sale ends.
Anyone have any other location ideas?
Hey there. I have hiked it twice, it is actually about 17 miles in total length. The scenery is amazing with many different rock formations. Water has been plentiful both times I hiked it. 2...
I read about this location and it looks nice. My All Trails app has a note stating that backpacking with primitive camping is only allowed in 2 small highly used areas.
I found this note on...
Welcome Tmy562!
We have done the Bell Mountain Loop a couple of times. It is a nice hike, but there is very little reliable water along the trail. You'll have to carry what you need.
Devils Den State Park in AR
Alright, for the sake of tradition (and consistency) let's plan on the first weekend after the new year. January 4th and 5th. This locks our date in so people can plan.
Now we just need to...
Hi Dublinin!
Glad to see you will try yo make it. Do you have a date preference? Or location ideas?
I agree on water choices being readily available, that weight sure adds up when you have to...
Great, glad you will be able to make it!
The venison chili has been great the last 3 years, let's make it a tradition! I can bring some "fixins" to go with it if you and Mrs. Twentybelow decide...
Thanks for your reply Gideon!
In the past we have done the MFBH the first weekend after the new year, but we could certainly change it up if it means more people could make it.
I will send...
Wow, what a great trip report! Can't wait to read part two...
You are a great writer and provided a great narrative of the trail...I felt like I was there with you as I was reading along!
It’s that time of the year again to plan our 2020 MO Frozen Butt Hang! The first weekend after New Years Day.
The last 3 years have been very successful with a great turnout. I’d like to keep...
Sent you a PM
Butterfield Hiking Trail would be a good one. It’s in NE AR.
We have also done Bell Mountain as well as Wilderness Trail. Both great hikes.
I’m in SW MO.
Butterfield Hiking Trail is a great weekend trip. I’ve done it as a single overnighter, but would be quite strenuous for weekend warriors who don’t hike very often. It’s around 18-20 miles IIRC....
