…sadly, plans have changed. The kids need me to take them on a college visit to WWU that conflicts with the Yeti Hang, so we won’t be able to join this year after all. Looking forward to next time...

We’re looking forward to it. Trying to get the boys to schedule off of work to join me, so our count is 1 ( to 3).

Latest word is that it’ll be just me and the younger son because #1 son wasn’t able to get the weekend off. #2 will technically still be in remote school, so we need to stay near a WiFi hotspot...

Nanak, I’m really curious to hear more about your SS with sheet bend setup.

I can visualize the adjustability that the bend provides, but I’m curious about whether you’ve noticed any tendency for...

Maz,

I hadn’t really thought things through as far as you have, but your reasoning is good. We each need to take responsibility for keeping ourselves, as well as those around us, as safe as...

After all 3 of us missing last year, the current plan is for both boys to join me again this year, schedules permitting. I say “boys” but they’ve both long since outgrown me.

We’ll continue to...

Years ago I found a small palm sized awl while wandering around the craft store, waiting for the missus to finish her shopping. What I love about it is that the rounded butt of the tool, which...

Benson Burner,

Congrats on making the time to spend with your son while he’s still young. Those days fly past more quickly than you realize.

And I’ll add to the chorus of praise for the stool...

Welcome, Living the Highlife! I’d guesstimate that there’re probably 25-30 of us here in OR/WA/BC who are active to one degree or another on the forum. I’d guess that we have about that many again...

Doing well, CreativeKayt. And you?

I’d been getting a little twitchy when the Stay At Home order was in full effect, watching the nice days in April-June go by without being able to get out and...

As another scouter who first started hanging in the Midwest, before relocating to the Pacific North West, there are many of us hanging all around (Dejoha comes to mind). If you haven’t yet, attend a...

I’ll be watching with interest too. Unfortunately, I have a conflicting commitment and can’t make this one, but I’ll be rooting for good weather for you. It’ll be a great spot to hang.

Please...

Not enough photos... but enough for a taste of the hang.

The boys & I are aiming to get there as early as possible on Friday, but might be racing the sunset.

Yyyeeeeaahhh. . . Gonna be well after sunset, currently looking like 7pm or after

I’ve only ever used the cocoon to supplement my regular UQ when the temperatures drop below its rating (say from subzero to 15*), not directly as my main insulation. Since I have a UQ between me and...

Last year there were ~20 of us, with plenty of room to spread and we had lots of extra space. Mcbpdx shared several pics of the area last year. ...

Hi, Carolyn,

Yes, this will be the same location as last year.

For anyone else who's new, and as location challenged as I am, I hope the attached map helps reinforce Maz's.

I’m southeast of Bellevue, in Issaquah.

Also, for those who were asking about group hangs in the area, there’s another thread about the 8th annual Yeti hang coming up from Jan 18-20 at the Frog...

Hey, dasmith836,

I hammock camped Denny Creek campground with my wife and son earlier this year. There are plenty of good sites to hang from, although during the high season I don’t think I’d...

I’m trying to slot this in again. Hopefully, this year both of my boys’ll be able to join us as well. Not sure yet about the wife: I’ve already reached my 2 campouts a year quota for her...

Great to hear it, Mugs. I'm not really familiar with many of the local options either, which is part of my motivation. I'm game for some hiking as well, but I can't claim to be experienced or in...

Turns out that I've unexpectedly got a few days free from Sunday - Tuesday 6/24-26. I'm feeling the need to get out in the woods, but my usual cohorts can't make these days work. If anyone else is...

Is there still any interest in a group hang for later this summer?

I’m an advocate for “the right tool for the right job”, so I’m quite envious. That looks like a nice kit.

Rather than drive all the way from Seattle with a van full of firewood, I was hoping to pick some up when I stop for my Sno-Park pass in Sandy or Government Camp. Does anyone have suggestions on a...

I’ll be there with my 13 year old son, hopefully, enough food for the potluck and certainly too much gear.

Not sure of our arrival time yet, but as early as possible.

So sorry for your loss. We’ll hope to see you both next time.

I’ve seen a few folks comment that they plan to bring more water than last / previous hangs. Obviously the “right” amount will vary a bit by the individual, but does anyone have a suggestion for a...

My expectation is that it should be pretty close to the same effect, depending on how much venting a particular winter sock uses compared to a specific TQ/UQ protector combo.

Since neither setup...

Thanks to Dutch's awesome sale, we decided to order a fully kitted out Chameleon plus accessories as a Christmas present for my son. This morning, thanks to the speedy shop elves, it's already on...

Looking forward to it! It’ll be our first time in a group hang, so we’re looking forward to meeting you all.

I was a late enough arrival to the PNW last year that it wasn’t possible to join in, but read the recap with a lot of interest. I’m really hoping to see someone run with this inspiration and start...

Like others, I use a sewing awl that I bought at Walmart for splicing. Mine has a cap which protects its point when not in use and that is intended to be placed on the back end when working much like...

Welcome, Baloothebear!

Good times and great sleeps are in your future. I lived and camped in England and the UK for a few years, just as I was beginning to experience hammock camping. And...
