or your jokes :lol:

I look exhausted in just about every pic i'm in! :lol:

Thanks everyone for the good times and good memories. I appreciate everyone's help as I continue to learn about new equipment/tips for...

I'll be joining gents... Added my info to the spreadsheet.

NICE!!!!

I might be blind but didn't see a sign up sheet. I'm heading up with thunder arrows and Dave. I'll be bringing cornbread and cookies for everyone....and by "I'll" I mean my wife has graciously agreed...

Well done sir! Had a great time :-)

I'm the pain in the *** vegan of the group so i understand your concerns :-) For the Green Timbers hang last year i just brought all of my own food and brought some eggs to contribute to the group. ...

Thanks TZ. I appreciate all the hospitality, knowledge, and good company. See you next time!

I'm glad you noticed that Donk....lets just say i won't be doing it again! The stove priming really gives you a large flame for about 30-40 seconds or so and it just isn't worth the risk. I would do...

I think the whisperlite works very well and boils water quickly...My issues however are:

-It's a pain in the butt to get it out, set it up, then put it all away. Plus, you always have a small...

Sorry this is a little late…Work has been a little hectic since returning from the Piney Woods!!!
MichiganDave has most of the details covered in his post so I’ll try not to sound like a broken...

Got the pulk finished and ready to go for this trip! I don't have time to add a rudder/rails so that will have to wait unfortunately. Took some ideas from michigandave (Thanks!)

Welcome from Shelby Township!

So call it ignorance...

Since we will obviously have a ton of food...am i safe to assume that a lot of it will be stored in coolers vs. hung up in the trees etc.? ive only camped with MRE's so no...

Thanks for the info!

Anyone planning on being there Thursday? If so, what time? I will definitely be there Thursday but would rather not hike alone since i don't know the area at all.

Also, anyone down by me...

Definitely had a good time! Didn't want to go back to the real world!

Where do you think i met him! lol

Very excited for Green Timbers...just a little stressed trying to make sure i have everything ready to go.

This weekend bmwrider and I took an overnight stealth trip to Stoney Creek Metro Park in Michigan to test some new gear for the upcoming winter hangs in Michigan.

BMWRIDER used those this weekend on our camp out. I don't know if you follow each other but you could contact him. They seemed really sturdy and easy as heck to use. Good luck!

What's the plan if everyone brings a bunch of extra stuff normally pulled in a pulk and there ends up being no snow???

For those of you who have camped in the winter...how do you guys filter the water from a stream or river if you can't use a filter in the winter? Obviously you boil the water but how do you get rid...

I do have a very large RC helicopter i could fly it in with! :lol:

I can take care of the eggs... what are we thinking..a couple dozen?

My RL is an amsteel whoopie which has plenty of extra length. If a suspension line broke i'd just use that and sleep without a ridgeline if need be. I also carry 50 feet of paracord just in case for...

It is what it is... I looked at Meijer and Walmart as well but they didn't have any. Oh well.

I did receive the PM. Thank you for all the info...i'm definitely basing mine off of yours :cool:

Very frustrating day.... Bass pro shop has a Jet Sled Pro sale for $15.40 !!!! Unfortunately they are completely out of stock in store and online and back ordered at the warehouse. I couldn't find a...

Donk,

what is your reasoning behind not wanting to bring a pulk if you don't mind me asking? Assuming i'll be there, this will be my first time truly winter backpacking as well as using snow shoes...

Chances are you guys won't want my food (Vegan) LOL

I'll most likely bring baked goods or snacks etc. I will know more in February

Great suggestions everyone... Thank you all. I just purchased the Superfly a few minutes ago so i am really excited to use it!!!

Also, planning on making my own version of those black rock down...

I appreciate all the input. Hopefully I will be able to test everything this weekend!

Hoping you guys can add some advice. I've been really wanting to get into sub zero hammocking (especially after watching Shug's videos). I currently have an ENO DN which i will be replacing down the...

hoping to make this :-)

This works well for me. I got a kids hammock for $5.00 from "Five Below". Its rated to 200lbs (although i wouldn't put more than 100 on it). hang it to my side so i can easily grab...

Hey guys,

Sorry if this post shows up twice...the first one didn't go through apparently!

Planning a trip Nov 20th-22nd to Pinckney Recreation Area with the wife, Mrs_Pantologist. We are...

Wish i could be there :-(

We had a great time and can't wait for next year! Thanks everyone!!!

Welcome from Shelby Township!

The wife and I will be joining!

Question....I read on one of the posts that it was cold last year. Does anybody know what temp. range it was in ? I have one UQ but probably using a pad for the...

Everyone on here has just about covered it. Thank you for all your time and effort to teach. You were definitely the one to push me over when i was on the fence about starting to hammock. Much...

I used 2 eye bolts directly into the studs (obviously). Works out great! My wife's only stipulation is that it is taken down when i'm not using it. I just disconnect one of the carabiners...

Took a weekend trip out to Pinckney State Recreation Area. This was a perfect time/place to practice with new gear. This was my first solo trip as well as my first "backpacking" hammock trip.

I...

No problem at all! I'll send out a trip report

Sounds good. I will be at Site #2 at blind lake on Saturday. Should be there around 3'ish. I'll probably be wearing a red shirt (and i'll be the pace setter for myself! lol).I'll look out for you...

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty excited to try out the new gear. Unfortunately Site #9 is unavailable so i went with #2. After looking at the site pictures on the DNR website it looked like the next...

Okay..so here is my plan.

Friday after work i am driving to Crooked lake and setting up camp. Saturday morning i will drive over to Halfmoon lake day use facility to park the car and then hike...

Still trying to figure everything out. Most likely Blind Lake...

I had a friend planning to go but he bailed so its just me! I've never been there so i'm still trying to figure out the trails and...

I know it's late in the game but I'm hoping to test some new equipment this weekend at Pinckney State Park in Michigan. I'm planning on heading there Friday (tomorrow-April 17th) after work (i'll get...

Hi guys,

hoping to take the wife hammock camping at Ludington State Park sometime this June or July. What is the best area/camp site as far as trees go for hammock camping? Is there anywhere i...

Sure...Its a kids hammock from five below. There's a HF link below to someone else who has used it. Its the red and blue one. I will be replacing the metal "S" hooks that it comes with, with light...
