We are planning on Friday. Worst case on Saturday morning.

Great. Then plan on following us out there. You can watch olddog burn a half tree of fatwood he keeps finding in the woods. It's good times.

it was surely nice to meet you. Can't wait for the drone vids.

well, you know you're invited to come on down next year. It's always on MLK weekend. We don't have the snow from your trips but we...

Yes. We park just before the Withlacoooche River bridge(heading South). We park there overnight for several nights at a time.


Me and blueskycat are in for Sat morning thru Sun.

Good to hear. See you soon.

See you Sat. Pictures should be in the Trip Report setting up later today.

Awesome. It's official. Sugarlands is inbound. Safe travels and see ya Thursday.

Can I change my answer to...



Challenge Accepted!

Agreed.

A couple more work days and off to HangCon 2022. Staying until Monday or when AJ kicks me out(or Britt claims I drank all his Coconut Rum and Dr Pepper). Whichever comes last.

Cell coverage is pretty good there. Enough to use your phone as a hotspot if running a laptop or tablet. But it sure eats up that data if using long term.

HangCon 2022, here I come!

Hot diggity. I got my approval for time off. Soo worried due to family medical issues, but, now I'm "legal".
I missed last year for the first time since I missed the...

Vendors,
4 more days until Vendor Appreciation Day on Thursday. Relax at HangCon and sit back and watch the chaos that abounds. Enjoy yourselves as our family and camper before you jump in and...

Thanks. I have been loaned a seat already.

If you have an extra yak(I may not be able to bring mine), may I borrow it to take this trip?

Also, any vendors still wanting to go on Thursdays Vendor Appreciation Day kayak trip, please PM me...

not a problem. I have at least a 10'x6' area to work with. I doubt I will use it all. Still hoping...but doubtful...

there will be a wash station but take it with you to dry it.

Just to add, if you have straps and a hammock with a continuous loop for the ends, you don't need any buckles or bling at all. Of course bling makes everything better and easier, but for basics, not...

Just looked over the list of attendees. Wow. So glad to see some of y'all coming back that I haven't seen in a while.

Good question...

Pheonix, where is the parking gonna be? Still the same West field or the East field near the entrance road?

As a side note, Red, the camp host, is moving on from selling wood so we are probably getting a few chords of wood ourselves. The good news is as we sell some stacks to those that want their own...

Yes, thanks. Everything went better than expected and the preliminary results look great. Now just waiting for confirmation from pathology. Prayers answered so far.

Silly rabbit. Temps are not an issue for me.
Where a person sits will determine the shade of tan they get. A big fire will be had at night. That's the only way to go. Maybe even a set of twin fires...

We're still a bit far out for an accurate weather report.

That said, we've seen temps from 20's for lows to upper 60's for highs and maybe into low 70's. It's also been sunny and cold/warmish and...

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend. My son is having surgery on Thursday with an Oncologist for a mass on his wrist. Hopefully y'all can send us some pics.

See yall at HangCon in a few weeks.

It'll be great to see y'all again. Missed everyone last year.

I will have a nice fire in front of your set up this year. Find me when you get there and I'll help you set up your "Shine Stand"....

Anyone else interested in showcasing your new hammock gift or maybe quilts or tarps.

Come on out next weekend to Hidden Pond on the FT.

Have a Merry Christmas and see y'all in 3 weeks.

Awesome to hear you're on the mend. Be well and get stronger daily at your own pace. Hopefully we will get a stronger you for HangCon 2023.

Well then. Now you definitely have to come down and taste the BearScat, Peach, Cherry, and Apple Cobblers.

There is a hang scheduled for New Years at Hidden Pond in Ocala off the Florida Trail if anyone is looking for a hang in Central Florida.

Wow. That's very kind of you. Remind me to put you first in line for some Dutch Oven Cobblers. Or Mountain Man breakfast. Dealers choice.

Great, Rando. It'll be nice to see you again.

I believe AJ has a plan.

usually go thru 1 bag per meal or 2 per day. In total about 8-10 or so of the large bags of Walmart or Kingsford.

Another item we were talking about is desserts.

Anyone up for some Dutch Oven goodies? We have several cobblers on tap for each night.

Y'all are welcome to come on down and see how to cook in...

As a note that the regulars already know, This is a Hike and Hang. This means you should be ready with your own food, mess kit/stove, and toiletries.

Use that new dehydrator and make a few days...

Come on out and test your new Hammock, Tarp, Quilts, gear, clothing and join us for a New Years celebration at Hidden Pond.

It's a little different from our Summer/End of Summer hangs and we...

We were there this past weekend for some bonding and event planning.

Those of you that weren't there last year, we are now on the East side of the little creek. Bring some stands to get next to...

Coolbobby, didn't know you moved away. And I was hoping to go kayaking with you down the Chaz. See ya next month.

Oh no. Looks like I'm not going.

AJ, add me please.

For all of you, check to see if you're on the list. If not, add yourself. If you can't, ask someone to add you. It's important to know who,...

What a fun time this past weekend. I'm glad I was able to make it out there. And the temperature were awesome. On a side note, we had a lilrcky sighting.

See y'all Friday night. Hopefully before 7p

Weather reports for my area next weekend show Friday rain with overnight lows in the 40's. Yes!

Slept in hammock last night and woke up to the glorious sound of rain hitting the tarp. So nice. Can't wait to get back out to the woods.

Any good weather reports for next weekend? Is anyone...

We've had folks come from WA and OR(I think). Hopefully something will fall in place for you.

As did I, planning on making this one, though.

I see you jumped into the way back machine.

So true. We've even had cottage vendors come down with their families and have the families as their first hang.

If your friend likes camping but hasn't been in a hammock, bring a tent and a spare...

Yes. It's been a while since y'all came down our way.

Anyone interested in taking some short classes? In the past, we've had a variety from paracord bracelet making, orienteering, cast iron cooking/cleaning, stove making, knife sharpening, archery, etc,...

Is there anyone else that wants to go to a beautiful place and hang in wonderful weather?

Also, what time y'all getting there? I'll probably be rolling in Friday night after 8p unless blueskycat...

It'll be nice to see you again.

I've been reading the previous HangCon Planning Threads and Trip reviews since 2019 when we first changed the venue to Sertoma Ranch. Combined with the current...

Been sleeping outside the last few days in the hammy. Low to mid 60's and 1 night at 58*. Love the current temps.

Yes, sorry. My son has very, many medical issues that don't mix well with Covid. Trying to do my part to keep him safe. Very scary situation with him.
