We are unable to make this one as other family plans were made for this weekend, but please keep us in the loop for any possible winter hangs. Safe travels to all and hope to see you all again soon....

It may be a little too far out of your travel zone, but two trips I've taken are as close as I know to what you may be looking for. Both are in Michigan.

The Manistee River Trail is a loop that...

I'll be there with three friends and Aiden will likely come along. It will be good to catch up.

Work has not been cooperating with my backpacking life lately. Does not look good for us attending this year.

Aiden and I will not be there. This year is due to other obligations rather than inability to navigate off of the Sycamore Loop in the dark. Have fun and we'll catch you again soon!

A couple of Thanksgivings ago a friend and I spent the night on Browning Hill on a weekend overnighter. I had my hammock set up right where you were. I woke in the morning to the scream of a child....

We had a great time again. It was good to spend time with you all.

Here we are a week away and Aiden and I are excited to get to see everyone and get some much needed time in the woods.

Well, disregard my last post. My back went out yesterday. Chiropractor wasn't able to fix me - too much inflammation. I guess I need to set my sights on the spring hang.

I'm hoping to be at the campground around 1:00 or so on Friday afternoon.

Unfortunately he has a school function to attend. Although as that weekend approaches he has been asking questions and seems to be torn as to which to go to.

My wife has shown concern as to...

Aiden won't be with me this trip, but I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Aiden and I got a late start on Friday and wasn't able to find you guys, obviously. Trail ignorance and arrogance, on my part, not Aiden's, actually helped us to knock out two bucket list items: I...

Once again, Aiden and I are planning on making it. We shall know more when we are closer. Always a good time with you all.

Although I have only scratched the surface on the trails there, Garden of the Gods is certainly one of the best places in the Midwest for vistas. Even if you set up a base camp anywhere you can,...

HARTFORD CITY!?!

As always, we had a blast. It was great to meet new members and to see old faces. Thanks again to all who put this together and also to those who participated. We hope to see you all again soon.

Aiden and I are almost all packed up and ready to go. We should be at the north trail head around 5:30ish on Friday.

Mule, its too bad we don't get to see you this trip. Perhaps in the fall,...

Aiden and I are planning on being there. We're excited to see you all again.

Being from Terre Haute, I've hit a good deal of the areas mentioned above. Most places I go are at least an hour away.

Turkey Run is a cool park, but has no back country camping and I have not...

I get it. I really do. These were hurdles for me to overcome for a few trips actually. But, I can say with confidence, I did overcome these concerns with experience.

I cannot say enough...

The pics look great guys. Wish we could have made it. We have our sights set on the Winter Hang!

Well, Aiden and I will not be able to make it after all. We already have our sights on the Winter Hang in January if that is going to happen. We are sorry that we will miss you all! Have a safe...

Yes, sir! It was good to see you again too.

Thank you for setting this up and allowing us to join you all! We had a great time.

Check that, I'll be bringing both of my boys now.

Please count me and my son for being there for Saturday night!

I am planning on making this hang. Aiden will more than likely be with me. I too am looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting some new people as well.

I'm headed to NMI next week with my two boys and two other families. For the men, its our first return trip -- for everyone else its their first trip to the island. Some are backpacking for the...

Very good trip report and analysis!

I believe my son and I spent two nights at that very campsite (I hung my Amok Draumr 3.0 between those same trees, if I am correct) in February and had...

Thank you to all for a great time! Aiden and I always learn from you and we look forward to the next time our paths cross.

I'll have one there.

Great video!

We had an awesome time as well.

It was really nice to meet you all and I look forward to future hangs. My son is already planning for the Spring Hang.

We are looking forward to meeting all of you!

I finally had a break in the action to try mine out today. Nothing extensive, I just set it up, got in and tried out the bells and whistles.

I did have to concentrate and work to get in the first...

I ordered mine on Black Friday and received it yesterday afternoon (Tuesday). I'm about 3 1/2 hours away from Chicago, but I was still surprised to see it on my doorstep so soon.

I'm chomping...

This discount was too good to pass up. Mine is on its way as well.

Hello all from Indiana!

This forum is awesome!

I have been a tent person my whole backpacking experience, but recently decided to change it up. I was looking to go with either hammock camping...
