Thanks Whiskey! Wound up in the emergency room shortly after running into you on the Tux Trail. Hope we can get something planned for fall. Would really give me a mental boost! Don't know if Airey...

Can we plan a fall hang? I am recovering from heart bypass surgery and could use something to look foward to in the future. Life sucks right now! Anyone interested in a fall south ms hang?

The Black Creek Trail is perfect for hammocks - plenty of trees. But for your sanity, don't go in the summer. Dense swarms of mosquitoes not deterred by deet. I have run into one of your MS hikers...

Welcome, from Gulfport. You might want to check out the Black Creek Trail for backpacking. It is 40 miles long. There are a couple of unbridged water crossings and some trees down from Zeta, but its...

Wish I could come. Cataracts restrict my driving right now. See surgeon tomorrow so hope to be back to normal soon. My brothers have both camped there and liked it. Hope we can do something in south...

Welcome from south MS!

The horse camp mentioned in the previous post does not have running water. The vault toilet is still closed.

Drifter, Airey is still closed from Zeta. Many trees are down waiting to be cleared. Prior to Zeta, it was only open for day use because of Covid. However the horse camp around the corner from Airey...

Welcome from Gulfport. A shorter trail, but also somewhat challenging is the Tuxachanie. Its only 13 miles but could do round trip for 26 miles. The remote end around POW is a little more...

Welcome, from Gulfport! It's a little ways down, but we sometimes have gatherings at Airey Lake (just south of Wiggins). Lots of trees, great hiking trail, even a restroom. Unfortunantly Airey is...

I can't imagine you would save any weight by having to carry 2 underquilts to combine them for warmth. I would go with the warmer one and just save the 40 degree for shoulder season and perhaps...

It seems that some USPS sorting centers have been absorbed and consolodated over the past few years. That changes the flow of mail/ parcels. Ex: I live in Gulfport, MS and most of my family lives in...

My top quilt and under quilt both came from JacksRBetter. I've been very happy with them. Customer service is excellent. They will help you if you're not sure which product you need. I think they...

Sad to hear of Rain Man's passing.

Welcome from the MS Gulf Coast!

Welcome from the MS Gulf Coast!

So funny! Will keep these recommendations in mind when I need a padded hammock chair or a fringe decorated hammock. Hope our awesome cottage vendors dont feel too left out!

Mine came from JacksRBetter. Dont know what their lead time is, but Im happy with mine.

I don't want to get into an argument about shooting cats. The thread was about removing urine odor. This is a family-friendly forum. Hopefully a moderator will weigh in before the cat hate thing goes...

As a cat owner and rescuer, this thread is taking a dark and offensive turn. Just bring in your hammock when not in use. That will protect it from tree sap, bird poop, limbs falling, and many other...

Don't know how the fabric would handle this, but the best urine neutralizer I know of is a mild solution of vinegar and water.

I've never seen another bottom entry hammock, but I love my Hennesey combined with my JRB Nest underquilt. Because of the velcro opening in the underquilt, it can be worn as a sarape. I like...

FYI...The govenor has declared lockdown beginning Sunday. I dont know exactly what that means.

Welcome from the Gulf Coast! There are a few of us down here. We recently had an Airey Lake Hang near the coast. Watch for southeastern region gatherings. There's one coming up in LA.

Sounds good! If I can come, it will be Saturday. Will let yall know closer to time.

Welcome from Gulfport, MS.

Welcome from Gulfport!

Had a great time and looking forward to the next one! I'm focussing on being better prepared, especially for cold weather. Have almost convinced myself to order a new top quilt. The sleeping bag...

On my way finally!

I will grab a couple of wood bundles in the morning. Forecast is pretty cold tomorrow night. Gotta love MS weather! 70's today and down in 40's tomorrow.

Still showing rain Sat am. Are yall ok with that? I won't affect me too much since I'm not arriving till Sat. If yall want to reschedule that would be ok with me.

Weather bug for McHenry at the present time showing some possible rain Sat am., but not thunderstorms. I'm planning on arriving Sat am. probably midmorning. If rain is heavy, I might be later.

Hope you can make it! I hiked to Airey today. It was beautiful! I'm looking forward to next weekend.

I would be glad to bring hot dogs, cheese, diced onions, jalapenos, and mustard. I like Hebrew National. Is that ok with you guys?

Thanks Drifter for bringing table and stove. I haven't figured out what to bring for supper. Since I will be arriving early Saturday, I can bring a bag of sausage biscuits and some fresh-picked...

Thanks guys for setting up the 'official' thread and spreadsheet!

Does anyone have a folding aluminum table? If not, I will get one. Mine was carroded so I threw it out. I had planned to replace it eventually. There are a few tables at the lake, but there are more...

Do we need to redo the thread more officially?

Has Etienne responded? Also hoping to hear from family man and Soul Embrace.Hopefully at least one other female besides me.

Anyone else interested?

It's a south Mississippi Airey Lake hang the weekend before Thanksgiving! Running water, rr, lots of trees, free camping, and great hiking trail are included! Located near McHenry, MS on Airey Tower...

How about the weekend before Thanksgiving?

Maybe familyman and medicpathetic will see this and chime in. Both were looking for an opportunity to hang with a group. I will try to lure my son. I got him an inexpensive hammock which he has never...

Not retired....yet, but soon (end of May). Meenwhile, am up for any weekend except the one after Thankgiving. Can do the one before or most any other weekend.

Now that's it's getting cooler, are we ready to start planning the soon-to-be awesome Airey hang?

Hello from the MS gulf coast and welcome! We are talking about a hang soon at Airey Lake which is about 45 miles from Slidell as the crow flies. Would that be too far for you?

I think I saw yall at Airey when I was out hiking but didn't know about the hang. Yall were behind the lake I think. I hope we can do it again.i want to see other setups. Mine has some room for...

I hope it's ok to hijack this thread. My tree huggers have been outside for several years. How can I tell if they are still strong enough to hang from? Thanks in advance.

Were yall hanging during the govt closure last year on the back side of the lake? If so, I saw yall when I was hiking in. I didn't know about the group hang. Had a new phone and couldn't access the...
