Have fun everyone. I'm off to NY again. :(
Have fun Phantom. Wish we could make it but the schedule is overwhelmed. Maybe if you go to Spencers creek ole bigfoot will keep you company.
I had an old pool warmer/cover laying around and cut a 30"x36" piece out of it. Works fine and is basically like a heavy duty piece of plastic. I started with a contractors trash bag which worked...
Nice meeting Y'all! Sorry we missed the purdy boil and early evening gathering around the fire. We were lazy and slept in. Missed meeting a lot of people when we visited. Thanks Phantom for hosting...
Dang Slowhike :(
I'll save you a stash of fatwood.
Just re-read this and chuckled. I know it was a typo, but the timing was perfect(Halloween) :lol:
No fee for Yates. First come first serve.
ETA: We still plan to be there Friday around noonish. Offer still stands if anyone needs me to pick anything up. King Gage wants to hit REI in Cary...
Lighter Knot express coming to Yates!

Good to know. At some point I'll be adding another hammock to my arsenal and the Chameleon with that net is high on the list.
Looks like King Gage will be going with me on this. His most gracious boss is giving him the day off with pay to go :)
He ordered himself an UQ last Friday to be prepared. We can't wait! Joe and I...
If I can make it I wanna bring some stuff for a gear swap. I have access to bullstrap, and me and Joe plan to hit our pine forest to load up on lighter knot(fatwood) to bring. I have a ridgeline...
Joe and I made it home around 4:30. Didn't hit any truck stops for biscuits and gravy :lol: Had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone. Thanks Tom Tom!
We're still a go as of now. We'll be leaving here Friday morning and should arrive sometime early afternoon. Probably will park at West Morris Campground. Is there anything I need to know about...
Dutch has a brand new spreader bar type bug net. Might be worth looking into? Looks pretty cool IMO.

Gonna try to make this. My buddy Joe has Monday off so that might shift our actual dates some instead of Fri,Sat,Sun. To Sat, Sun, Mon. Not sure yet though. We hung on my land this weekend and the...
There was a few homeless type crowd at Yates this past weekend. FYI.
I just watched his video. Looks pretty cool.

Lots of fun! Big thanks to Phantom and Roy for showing us the area and explaining some of the history there. Also Twisty for bringing the guard dogs to keep the yotes out of the camp. I believe they...
We're still a go. Leaving in the morning. Yates bound.
:lol:
Thanks for the report Phantom. I'll bring some drinking water jugs to Yates to fill up before going in. Last time was an eye opener. Got my pack hooks put on today by my local Aunt B(seamstress) so I...
Yes!! Steakums are alive and well. I had a sandwich with them last week. I was busting Phantoms chops though. If we get delayed Friday and get there late, you can bet we'll be grilling something at...
Harbor Freight has cheap tarps. I have a couple myself.
Steakums it is....... :lol:
Yates it is! As of now we plan to be there barring any issues. I'll have another guy with me and possibly King Gage depending on work schedules. Phantom said he was cooking ribeyes. SWEET!
LOL
I use the HG bags for my UQ and full length TQ and hang them in my closet. Have my Yeti, down jacket, down blanket, hang on hangers too. I think the bed he's referring to is called a Captains bed....
Just got off the phone with my hang posse. We'll be up that way Friday afternoon for a weekend stay. Grayson is gonna tough on everyones schedules so if I go to it too, it will be solo.
Zero plan...
A friend of mine uses the onewind and is pretty rough with it. Its held up good and seems to be a decent budget tarp. I'm probably gonna buy one myself for a winter setup.
Thanks for the update. We're gonna pick another time to go as well.
Okay. You have me Googling again. Crystals place?
Thanks Fellas. We downloaded the maps like suggested. Looks like late Friday before we actually get up there. Might hang at Yates that evening due to the time and roll out Saturday morning on the...
My Google fu didn't show any results for the book? We have Alltrails but I wouldn't mind getting that book either way. Where is the Outposts you speak of?
Edit: I found the Eldorado outpost...
Good chance me and a friend will show. Plan is to get there Friday evening (somewhere). We're exploring because we're new to Uwharrie and its a bit of a drive. Plan is to learn from y'all more...
Beetles installed. Work great with the WB straps. Thanks for the info fellas.
My hammock is the new version but it came with two CL's. One with the spliced buckles. one without. So I just need to swap them out.
Chinese women, kings for a day, hmmm. No lies. I'm learning :lol:
Good to know. Thanks Gents!
Seriously considering buying a new suspension setup. Dutch's Beetle Buckles currently have my attention. I use the Warbonnet strap/buckle setup and it works fine but I like the ease of beetle buckle...
I buy the Martins 10% and mix my own permethrin to match the Sawyers pre-mix ratio. Sprayed my gear(including hammock and bug net) and hung it to dry in my shop. So far so good in my experience.
...
If I make it I'm taking the short route :lol:
I'm game if I can work out the timing. Love it up there.
King Gage ankles we're eat up too. He showed me today while we were hanging out our gear. I'm now WAY more motivated on a new pack. And a moped. True story.
We got home around 7:30 and I just crawled out of the shower. Crawled is the word too LOL. This hike kicked my rump! Being a flatlander with bad knees I got a crash course on Uwharrie.
Way more...
Rolling at 6:30 in the morning to be there on time. If y'all need anything from REI let me know because I'm grabbing a chair from there on the way. Phantom has my number. Oyster out.
As of now I'm a go. Taking Friday off to go torture myself in the heat with y'all. Twistytee, I've talked with Phantom and he said that being the new guy I had to bring donuts and coffee. He also...
Oh snap! This is closer to me. Phantom expect a phone call :)
My sister has it along with her son(my nephew). Apparently its a very bad REM sleep killer. They both are on medication for it, but I don't know what kind.
LOL! Dang.
Hello Sarah :)
Phantom is correct as usual. I'm new too and I wished I had heeded advice from here prior to certain things. Happy hangin.
Welcome from the coast.
