Thankyou. I'm waiting for vacation schedule to get posted at work. I'm staying hopeful that I'll be able to make it.

I used to fish below the old steam plant in the winter. I wouldn't go anywhere...

I've been snooping in on y'all. I live 2 hours drive from there, and been on the creeper trail several times. Maybe I can come and visit when you all go? I love trout fishing. Afraid if these rains...

I guess I was a former Michigander from Gaylord. Long time ago tho, 43 years. I grew up east of spar on spar rd. We didn't migrate in the winter like some. My parents were always taking us kids...

@Kamileon, excellent! I like that. I've had 4 brothers in the military, and my father was in the navy during the Korean war, I never heard any of them mention hammocks. Maybe the military don't want...

Everytime I tried to stack something in the UQ it would just slip into a wad in the bottom. I was wearing jeans, tee shirt and hoody sweat shirt, and I had a regular pair of socks on inside of down...

First time using my hammock when it's cold out. Just got home from work, and I thought I'd try it out.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190111/f5f246924806b772e9da29c373138f97.jpg It says its about...

I'm still planing to be there, at least Thursday night. I've got lots to learn, and looking forward to meeting y'all. Ive just recently figured out what snake skins are.

Thank you Checklist. I greatly enjoyed reading this.

Wow, lots more to it than I thought. Thank you all for clarifying a lot of that. Lots to learn.

Sorry for a stupid, or inexperienced, question, but what is a HHSS?

Welcome from the other end of the state, hour from Bristol. There sure is a lot of great information on here, I have trouble understanding some of the equipment these people use. I don't know half...

Oh great, I'm loving it! My nephew and I did the Damascus to low gap, day hike, a couple of months ago. This is really killing me. Wife and I crossed Unaka Mtn on hwy107 from Unicoi, last weekend....

My wife ordered me a one Tigris underquilt for Christmas, but it hasn't arrived yet. I want to attend the Grayson Highlands hang, but I'll probably...

Excellent drawing.

Welcome from North East Tn.

I'd say take a bag of the little snickers bars and snuggle up with the wild ponies. They sure would love you, for a snickers. I bet one of these fuzzy critters would keep you warm...

50 to 70 sounds good to me.

Crap, now y'all got me thinking about it. I'd freeze my little ole middle age dingle berrys off. Marked it on my calendar for concideration. What's the cut off date to decide?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/44b3d92bf08bad864af22263ea3fd2cc.jpg This is a nice place to camp and hang, but the only way in is by hiking a mile from road or take a boat. Free. Can stay...

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/856e24d66bfd7cd0d665a6a6e095953c.jpg @jebediah that looks like one on the bridges on the Virginia Creeper trail?

That would be a blast. I'll be watching.

I'll 3rd that. I've been up there before. The weather can get brutal in the winter. If you hang in the park, you might wakeup with one of those wild ponies chewing on your gear. I'd love to hang with...

Oh, I believe you are right.

@sidneyhornblower, thanks this is the first one I've made, sort of experimental. I've got about 80 bucks in it, so I hope it's worth it. I thought I would just keep it a simple flat quilt for now.
...

Other than the experience of sewing stuff, did I waste my time with this quilt? I've thought about making my own down quilt for several months now, and with out enough research into it, I ordered the...

I've been using my wife's great grandmother's pre- 1920 singer.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181203/e736611b7034ff9f0935e8a703765545.jpg it's all steel gears with limited adjustments. I would...

Hello from east tn.

Hello Jebediah, I'm just north an hour of Knoxville on 11w. I've just joined on here also. Wow 500 miles on the AT! That's something to be proud of. I've done lots of hiking in the Smokeys, but no...

I like it. The least expensive it is the better I sleep. I'm not cheap, I'm frugal.

Thank you, for the welcome. I've done a little hanging, mostly in the warmer weather. We've had a little dusting a couple of weeks ago. Im interInterested in hanging out with some expert, hangers....

Hello, I've been enjoying reading the posts here. I've done a little hanging, and found it is a very comfortable way to sleep. Last time I went I had a family of racoons climb the tree I was tied to....
