Nice seeing everyone! I had mentioned to a few of you that I might get a site this Saturday at Valens but that is no longer the case. Boo!!!

I am hoping to stay over Saturday night. Might stop in Friday night after work as I drive right by Valens!

Just got back from Kiosk, great launch lake and many routes to go! Won't be joining but have a blast!

Unfortunately I didn't get to spend the night this time, but did manage to visit three times and made my breakfast there twice! Lots of learning, lots of laughs!

My son and I just got back from a hang in Frontenac PP so likely out. May stop in to say hi though

Yikes! Have had shingles twice and wouldn't wish it on anyone! Take care

My son and I just got back from a hang in Frontenac so don't think I can free up this weekend. Will try and make it out for a beer though!

Just an FYI, was at Valens last weekend. I think site 135 was free but the sites on either side were taken. Washroom proximity is making those site desirable! Should be there Saturday evening but...

Hey Hoolio, If I can get away for this I am planning on bringing a hot tent for fun, but not to sleep in. You guys would be welcome to sleep in it if you like?

Still thinking will be a fun addition!

Nice tent btw!

I am actually looking for a liner for it in the new year. Yes, very dark but super happy with it!

Got mine! You guys did a great sales job at the Valens hang so not going to miss it. Next Valens hang I hope I have a stove to put in...

I asked Niagara the same thing, and this is what he sent me " I think Rob has made the Lure of the north kits. But the one I mentioned was Eglis sheep farm in Northern Ontario".

Thanks again everyone, it was a blast! As always, had an early morning takedown to get home for dog walking, but was definitely thinking about the breakfast I would miss. Got a half decent night...

Me too!

I think it is 134, 135. Possibly 133

Well that is great news and saves me a trip to Valens tomorrow!

The last I heard, the yurt base had been built. I think they added the stairs in October or November. I am following this thread closely but can't commit due to previous camping commitments and...

This photo right here is making me want to buy this tarp!!!

I have the nylon one. Love it and it was delivered to Canada exceptionally fast! Holds my UQ, TQ, Ridgerunner and inflatable pillow. I the the GE model is designed more like a snakeskin so comes...

Not positive on this but think multicam is only available for one door and only until current stock is sold. I think they have moved to the bushwack camo for their gear.

I was pretty sure you were making a purchase this week!!!!

I have been holding out for this! Now to start saving again...

Hey gang,

Roads are pretty bad around here. Not trying to discourage anyone just making sure you knew. I'm 50/50 right now but not weather related! May see you later tonight.

The day you left the last Valens hang you didn't seem as enamoured with whiskey?

likely in for Jan 12th. Have another hanging trip planned for Jan 19th-Jan 22 so can't do the whole weekend. Likely out for Feb 2nd weekend only because I want to stay married!

You have been winter camping with me for at least 15 years with a 2 km uphill hike in. Now you feel you need a pulk? Now is when you need a skidoo! And yes I'm in if you are getting/building a...

A few weekends ago went camping with a few guys. We were walking down to set up our hammocks and I said to a friend who was about to use his Ridgerunner for the first time, " I love my Ridgerunner,...

I got the Slug for my Ridgerunner. Just got back from a four night hang in rain, snow, sleet, and a little sun... The Slug was awesome! Put it on then could lay everything down on the leaves...

Ah! Read socks so thought spindrift. Thanks!

It doesn't look like the spin drift socks are on sale. Just wanted to check because it may be user error on my part!

Starts tomorrow but sales listed on their website!

Ya, wasn't there when I got to Valens. Must have been those darn 135 raccoons!

I wish I could have stayed the second night, if only for the food! Each hang is a learning experience for me. I had an incredible sleep Friday night, but it may have been enhanced by the...

Hey Rob,

The Valen's trip Valens Conservation Area trip was listed as October 17-19 but it is actually this weekend! Will be a little wet, but worth either stopping by or hanging for a night or...

Took me a minute!

It is looking like I may be in for Friday night!!!! I really hope so as I don't want to miss the shenanigans

I love this perspective!

I use a 0 degree Phoenix pretty much year round. Even use it set up in the basement. Don't overheat too often but when I do I just add a small gap. Not enough that the mosquitoes can get me!

I have a DIY sewn as that was the easiest. I had always assumed snaps were to convert it to a blanket. Never thought about venting. Not sure if this is related enough, but I am starting to...

Have the Ridgerunner and a HG Incubator. I have read of lots of successes, but I'm not one of them. I could have made it work with some sort of support in the middle but didn't want to rely on it...

Currently own the NX170 and 270 but have never been in a Lawson. 270 is slightly larger than the 170. I'm 5ft 8 so either work great for me. Also own a Warbonnet Ridgerunner and Little Shop of...

I can add a few things. The NX170/270 are great hammocks! Bought both used off of kijiji so the $ wasn't as critical. I think the 270 is better, but barely. I'm 5ft 8 so both are solid choices...

Looking less and less likely I will be able to attend. Let me know if anyone needs any gear. I can't believe I am missing a group hang that is 20 minutes from my house!

The best side sleep I get is in my Ridgerunner. I echo what others say, if you get your leg or arm on the edge it isn't comfortable, but a hoodie or other clothing works well to cure that issue. I...

I just got back from Algonquin and, like Bubba said, want to head right back in after reading your trip report!

Hi Niagara, you can borrow my HG Incubator 0 for that weekend if you like? Not swaying you to go that route. If I was doing it over again I would definitely go LSOH for an UQ! If you would like to...
