    He’ll stick it out in the spring time for sure. Did you make it back from LA in time for this last bit of snow?

    It does always seem like Pisgah is full of people. The close proximity to Asheville is likely the cause. Not as many trail options in the Nantahala, but you’re just about guaranteed solitude...

    Had you been able to dispatch a few hogs, it may have been a perfect trip! They’re a real nuisance.

    Good stuff. I’ve wanted to take a trip up that way for years. I once worked with a guy on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that was a Yooper. He never shut up about the place [emoji23]

    I’m on fifty acres here and my son and I took a walk into our woods to set up for a quick overnight in anticipation of the snow. It hovered around 24 degrees for most of the night and began dropping...

    Should be a good time. I’m sure if they plan to stay, they’ll bring food for themselves at least. Wish I could make it.

    Warbonnet or Dutchware Chameleon are always my go to choices. The 1.6 from Dutch is rated to 350 lbs I believe and is very comfortable. You really can’t go wrong these days.

    I see that the board is titled off-topic, but it looks like all discussion is still related to hammocks in the sub topics [emoji23] Unless I just can’t access every sub forum through Tapatalk.

    Longevity is the true value from cottage vendors, IMO. You just don’t get that quality from big box stores or Amazon Chinese purchases.
