they removed the bike trails closed on the website so they now must be open
I called the forest service about the Neusiok trail this past week, they gave me a time frame of 2 years to reopen. Hopefully that was bad information.
I should be able to make this one it will be my first group hang. Phil
August 1 I moved onto my houseboat in New Bern, NC. Just 6 weeks before Hurricane Florence. My boat survived and most boats in my marina did as well, although the marina across the Trent River got...
Going down to New Bern, NC next week to work on my boat and get it in the water. It will actually be my new home in the New Bern Grand Marina. Looking to hang a hammock and camp rather than spend...
I'm going down to new Bern, NC next week to work on my boat and get it in the water. Instead of paying $100 plus a night for a hotel, I figured camping would be a much cheaper alternative. Probably...
Welcome from Western NY soon to be moving to New Bern, NC. in August

Hey, Going to hike and backpack the Morrison trail, my first time there, in the Allegheny National forest April 7 -9 I see some of you have gone there. Looking for good place to put up camp and a...
I'm looking to go down and work on my boat in Deale, MD soon. The hotels are either waterfront and/or in a Marina which means big bucks. Since my boat isn't in the water yet the marina won't let me...
Where in the southeast are you looking. Plenty of places in NC. Take a short trip to Bear Island and camp out on the beach. The Neuse River, trent river among many others.
Nice video. I've been to that area many times and always hang a hammock outside the lean and the south lean to, to to camp. No one has ever checked up on us there. You also need a permit for an...
Welcome from East Aurora, NY. Arrowhead makes some nice quality gear.
Never had a problem sweating in a hammock in the summer, since you get the air flow all around your body. In a tent that is a totally different story.
I bought the twin of your hammock, since I liked it so much, only a right lay since Randy had made a mistake with the first top cover and it was available. Already been out in woods once with it and...
Derek, Love the book, everything I wrote is a compliment. Great job. I know I will enjoy all the information in the book.
looking forward to watching the full video. Thanks for the teaser.
Today I received the special autographed copy of The Ultimate Hang 2. Just browsing through there is a wealth of information. I also have #1 but Derek out did himself in this version. Not only a lot...
You can also get thin closed cell foam at an upholstery shop and cut it to the dimensions you want.
The campground itself there is no problem with hammocks. Just for some reason they don't want them on the trail. But I just hang next to the lean to. I just don't think anyone is going to hike out to...
I go to these lean to's quite a bit and when making permit reservations they tell me you need to stay in the lean to. No hammocks, no tents. I have never had anyone check up on me but that is the...
Way to go. I love my blackbird also and warbonnet has been a gem to deal with over the years
Merry Christmas
Thanks for the info. jgreenewv and gunner76. The website was very informative about the Neusiok trail. Looking forward to my visit, and possibly living in that area. I'm also looking at Wilmington as...
Hi, Bought a houseboat this past year and am moving it down possibly to the New Bern, NC area and to live on. I'm from Western NY and have gotten the boat down to Deale, MD so far and plan on...
let me know also from East Aurora and looking to get out
Hi, my daughter is running in her first professional race at the Utica boilermaker in Utica NY. I have run in the event many times but it is a small town with limited hotels. The hotels are now about...
I would contact warbonnet for the repair. I have had issues with my blackbird twice due to my own crazy way I sleep and they repaired it and returned it quickly. They are a great company and took...
Going to watch my daughter in the NCAA indoor track championships in Birmingham, Al, I have some extra time since I have retired. Taking my fat bike and looking for a place to bikepack for a few...
Got my tri-blend today and it looks and fits great. Going to wear it on my trip to Staten Island this week for a track meet at Ocean Breeze. Wonder if anyone there has heard of Shug. Also stop on the...
Happy Birthday Dutch!!!!
Pine Creek rail trail is good but you have to make reservations at the sites you want to stay ahead of time. C&O in maryland, mentioned above is one of my favorites. free camping at sites about every...
Last time I was there. The cell phone service was hit or miss. mostly miss. Wish I could come but going to a track meet in Brockport to watch my daughter run. You guys have fun.
I was just out mtn biking for a couple of hours very muddy here also so I'm rethinking my week. Thanks for the input
I will start in Cumberland, MD. Went last year and really didn't have a problem hanging. Some sites are better than others. It's been great up here in Western NY weatherwise so I'm assuming MD will...
Has anyone been out to the C&O towpath this time of year? It looks like the weather will be good this week. I want to take my fat bike out for a few overnights. Should have my new traveler sock from...
Last month I had a problem with my blackbird where i tore the bugnet, due to my own craziness, and the folks at warbonnet repaired it promptly at a very minimal cost, and it looks like new. So last...
Merry Christmas!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all
I have only had great experiences with warbonnet, communication has always been excellent. Had to send a hammock back for repairs due to my fault and they gave me a new hammock at a great price since...
Just got back from the finger lakes trail. Friday sunny in the 70's. This morning woke up to a skiff of snow on the ground and shot guns going off in the woods. 2nd day of hunting season. Made sure...
Welcome James for western NY
If the weather isn't too bad I may join you
Good pics sounds like you guys had a blast
If I was going with the Warbonnet Blackbird I would also get the Wooki underquilt since that is supposed to be dialed in together. I also love my superfly tarp. You can always use a sleeping bag you...
Did the Tracy Ridge area to Handsome Lake 2 years ago during memorial day weekend. A good number of hikers Saturday and Sunday but hiking out Monday I saw nobody. I agree great area.
I just checked my map and we parked at bay state rd and park entrance rd it also says ample shoulder parking. We left the car there for 3 nights didn't tell a soul and it was fine. Like I said if you...
They do have a portion of the Finger Lakes trail/north country trail that goes through Allegheny I believe a little west of the camping area. There are also Three lean to's along that portion of the...
I also use the superfly just got back from first landing state park. Put it in porch mode for the week.
