What camp ground do you guys go too? If I can sneak away, maybe I will try to show up.

Are you going in January? I am working the 19th. Unfortunately.

I went last weekend. It poured down most of the time I was there. I drove all over the park to find a spot to hang my tarp over the fire pit. Found a spot. I didn't get hang...

Nice trip.

Nice. A few years ago I was told I could do what ever I wanted for father's day. I went camping with the guys. You would be absolutely shocked that I have not be told "do what you want" for any...

Gonna give this a friendly little bump bump. Apparently I have two new hammocks to try out.

I am going to Sleepy Creek on the 14th. There will not be much of a hike. But it should be quiet and cold. You guys are welcome to join me. At this point my plan is to sit by the fire and read...

My ultra light pack was around 32 pounds... I think I did something wrong.

Thankfully I am blessed enough that my equipment choice isn't based on financial needs. I just don't see the need to have a tarp for just camping. Besides, I always wake up to blue skies. Lol

It appears that I am in the lonely minority here. I am all using a $20 Amazon hammock that I bought years ago. I love it. Last week I bought a Golden Armor hammock. Not that I needed a hammock,...

I finally got another hammock. This one seems heavy. But it has two 10' tree straps in the pack. Let's hope it works.

Hey, let me know when you go out. I am always game for a kayaking trip. What type of kayak do you ride on?

Hey, I am down near Annapolis. I go out into West Virginia for a good camp spot. Easy to get to and get scenery.

No worries. I am sure something will prevent me from going. I also have a trip set up in January. That one hopefully won't fall through.

The hammock I ordered a couple of weeks ago was lost in the mail. Amazon refunded the money. So a new one was ordered today. Hopefully it gets here.

Wesley pipes is only used when all four guys are together. They used something different when Kenny was in jail.

I can do Friday to Sunday or Saturday to Monday. If you can only do the weekend I can send you an approximate latitude and longitude and we can meet in the woods.

So my last trip fell through. I don't mind cold, but I didn't want to be out in the rain. So we are trying again. Let's look at two locations.

Sleepy Creek: It's closer. But less remote. We...

I will post up tomorrow. I will let you know.

This didn't happen. I am doing it another day. I will do another thread. I can't edit the title with a new date.

Lol, I just did an impulse buy on that hammock. I was looking at tree straps and it popped up a few times. So I said why not.

Welcome.

That's killer!!!! An integrated pod is possible. I love it.

So looking at the weather it looks like rain all day Saturday. If that doesn't change tomorrow I am going to wait a couple weeks. If I do that I will try to go Saturday to Monday or Friday to...

Good to know. My electric green hammock and bright blue work tarp should help me to stand out.

Define "packed"? I don't mind seeing a few people. But I would like to not see 200 people.

Is there clear directions to the dam? I can head over that way?

I will probably head out around 9:30 or 10:00. I have to take a couch to the dump. Plus I want to see how bad it is going to rain. Lol.

I have a great spot in the wardensville wildfire management area. It is right on water. Plenty of areas to hang a hammock. I also have a spot that is very difficult to get to, but it makes for an...

Awesome. Where do you normally go out? I try to find a place that isn't an assigned camp spot. Hike through the woods until we see a good spot with places to hang the hammocks and easy access to...

I am taking my easy up tent to hang out under if it is actually raining. The less people the better. I was hoping that just cold will keep people away.

I have always used ratchet straps. They have nice big hooks. I bought actual tree straps. I hope to have them for Saturday. I am looking forward to trying them out.

Looks like it is going to be a snowy trip. Bumped

Mine is zippered up. I can open a spot big enough for my face. Much like your picture. I don't recall feeling cold spots on the sides of the pea pod where it gapped away from my body.

That's my goal this weekend. Once I get to the camp site, if I can find it, I will crack open a frosty beverage, light a cigar (for big control purposes, of course), and give that the ole college...

That's an awesome site, a big group of hammocks. Looks like a serene setting.

Man, summer camping is the worst. You can't escape the heat and humidity. Fall and winter is the best time, in my own humble opinion.

No prob Bob. It isn't light. But it is worth the weight. I like to be warm. Lol

I have two pea pods. One is just an el cheapo sleeping bag that I sewed the ends closed and put pass through holes in. I did it while watching star wars and having some Miller high life. It worked...

To avoid starting a new thread I am going to ask my cocoon question here. I have the, apparently much hated, snugpak cocoon. Personally I do love it. It is heavy. And I did go hiking with it. Of...

I picked up an Eddie Bauer drool pillow last year. It was basically free with a $10 gift card they sent me. It had a compression bag and everything. It offers just enough support to get my head...

I have been using a hammock for a few years now and have never heard of a ridge line. I am going to give it a try next weekend. This should be fun.

It is better to have way too much food than not nearly enough. But a trip is a good trip.

I am all kinds of jelly you can do that. I have tried to talk the wife into moving to West by God Virginia or the Carolinas. But it's a no go to leave all the family. Lol

That's awesome!!!!

I use this type of setup. My first pea pod was a $15 Wal-Mart brand sleeping bag that I sewed the open end up nice and tight. That with a 30° mummy bag was way too hot on a night that dipped into...

That's probably a good bit of info to share. I'm in Annapolis, or close by. That's pretty much the center of Maryland. Most of my camping happens in West by God Virginia. Camping in Maryland is...

Just how the heck are fine folks doing this fine afternoon. This forum popped up on another forum that I found in a search for local people to camp with. I lost my winter camping partners due to...

Howdy folks. My first post is about camping. My second will be an intro post eventually.

The weekend after Thanksgiving, the 24th and 25th I was given permission to go camping. I am looking...
