So cool!, it's a beautiful area.

Awesome! Hope you can make it. I plan to have a second car there (another friend on the trip), but we could certainly do another dropoff if you want to try and cover more ground. Filming and hiking...

Never tried that. I will look into it :-)

I know most will not be available for this, but in case any would like to come along on a last minute trip, I will be doing a 1 nigher on the Finger Lakes Trail in the M6 section. I will be hiking in...

That is a beautiful area. I've camped up the hill at one of the ponds. Need DEC permit to camp at the actual campsite though.

That was a great hike :-) - used to be "preacher40"

Thanks for the tip. Even in state forests, dead standing are not allowed?

I intend to :-) Thanks!

Honestly, I did still get a sweaty back, but I don't like dong the polk thing with a lot of ups and downs in the terrain. I still need to build some bracing bars for my sled so it doesn't flip or...

Thanks!

I fixed the video. Newbie error.

Thanks! It was my first one, hopefully more to come, plus more with hammocks.

All up and working now!

Thanks for posting the repair to the video! I will do it right next time.

Oh man, it seemed like a great idea, but the no-hammocks rule put's a damper on it. I am going to cancel this particular route and post a new one so that I am not leading a group to break park rules.

Howdy WNY Hammock Folks. Anyone up for a nice long and enjoyable winter adventure? I will be hiking the length of Letchworth State Park. If you are interested in coming along let me know and we can...

I have been doing this for 2 years now, it creates a great routine of getting back into nature :-)

Danby State Forest, Finger Lakes National Forest, Hammond Hill State Forest, Shindagin Hollow State Forest. I have hung in all of them, there are a ton of great spots since you can camp anywhere...

Thanks for the info, that's super helpful!

I really enjoyed this trip. I will get some pictures up tonight.

Hey all. I had a great time on the Interloken Trail in February, so I want to open up another trip for folks to join if interested.

We will be going over to the James Kennedy State Forest and...

Nice! Here is mine...

Tarp: Homemade Winter 12 Tarp from Ripstopbytheroll.
Tie-outs: Just paracord, but I am looking forward to getting dome dutch hardware and lash-it or reflect-it in the near...

That link helped, Your setup tarp/hammock wise should do perfectly well for ya. I have done my setup with it all the way down to the ground and in porch mode in the winter. Honestly, the need to go...

I only recently made an underquilt, I worked off a piece of reflectix and a camp pad for a while before that. If you would like to borrow the reflectix or pad you are welcome to.

I will be good, I don't mind carrying a little extra, but if someone else would appreciate it that is a nice offer.

I wasn't able to play the video, could you try the link again, perhaps non-imbedded.

That pretty much sums it up...

2/17 - Friday
1:00PM - Keroca17 meets up with Preacher40 & friend at Southern terminus (Burnt Hill Rd.) for vehicle drop-off.
1:30PM - Whole group meets at...

Awesome! You can certainly get a ride back. Would you be willing to meet at the southern Trailhead on Burnt Hill Rd (about 42.432861,-76.815863) at 1:00pm?



Yeah, I definitely want to check...

I know of myself, a non-hammocker friend, stryder, and possibly XJ35S (plus yourself). Water is available on the first day at the ponds (teeter pond and Foster Pond) so we can break through the ice...

I will look forward to it! :-)

We would love to have you come along and if you wanted to continue into Sunday you could check out a few of the other trails in the Finger Lakes National Forest or even continue down toward the...

Yes, that's the plan, though I have never been to that parking area, so I am unsure how much space there is (plan was to figure it out when I got there)

The game plan is to meet at the trailhead at 1:30PM on Friday, getting hiking by 1:45ish.

Thanks for the heads up! We are planning to stop down on Burnt Hill Rd at the end (leaving a vehicle at the end and one at the beginning). It is a 12 mile trail, so we will likely do about 3-5 miles...

I will post future trips for sure, but this one is set. The holiday is what makes it possible for me.

Hey Guys and Gals. I am relatively new to the forums, and I haven't met anyone yet so I thought I would send out an invite to see if anyone from Western, NY would like to join me for an over-niter in...

This sounds like a great plan, thanks!

Hey everyone. I want to add side panel pullouts to my tarp. What methods have you used/do you like for making DIY panel pulls? I made the tarp myself (Winter12 tarp from ripstopbytheroll | 1.1...

Hey Everyone!, I have been creepily stalking your conversations for some time now and I realized that it is about time I join in myself. I have been hammock camping for about a year now (I use an ENO...
