Crossing at spence isn't too bad if the water levels are below 200cfm like Twistytee said. Some people try to rock hop close to where the bridge was, but there is a wider shallower crossing about 75...

11' 45 degree charcoal color (in and out) Elite Superior Hammock (23oz, 950fp, ultralight fabrics) with zippered insect shield. I can weigh it if somebody needs that. It does not have snaps on it if...
I picked up rubber grommets at Lowes (in a drawer in the fastener section).

I think it depends on how fast you want to move it and how much effort you want to put into it as well. The items that I have sold were discounted below 50% just because I wanted them to go quickly...
I don't see a need for it myself. The main reason I hear people use it is in case they trip over their tie outs to absorb the stress instead of the tarp. Never really had that problem since I have...
Nice, always an adventure in the ditch. There have been several kayaker deaths when they go out after a storm, but I guess that is what they do.
The website was redone about a month ago, but is up and running. You will have to register to get access to the forums, though.
I'll second the SLD gear hammock that has a zipper. Minimal weight penalty (123g) if that is your thing and I prefer having my gear off of the ground and within reach from my hammock. If I am...
I have both, but only have one night in the JRB zip-on underquilt from Dutch so take this with a grain of salt. The Superior hammock doesn't have a place for air gaps since it is sewn in. The JRB for...
Release the line from the hook first (take some tension off the line by pulling it or lifting it up) before doing the antennae. That works for me.
As far as tents go, the double rainbow is one of my favorite designs. I have the Li version for trips where I can't hang.
All sold, moving thread.
Both sets of straps are sold pending payment. The Stratos Shield is still available if somebody wants to give it a shot.
Prices include shipping to continental US only. Sales will go in order based on replies to this thread. Follow up with a PM.
Superior Gear Suspension - (2) 15' polyethylene straps with aluminum...
All sold pending payment.
Longtrail is second in line for the Stratospire if the sale falls through.
The SLD Trail Winder is sold to Rooster.
Another batch to clear out: All include shipping to the continental us only. When you look at the prices, consider that $15-20 of that is shipping cost.
Simply Light Designs Trail Winder UQ - 11'...
All sold and paid for.
The Townsend Bridge is sold to Bartolo pending payment. GroundHog is next in line if it falls through.
Payment confirmed on the Superfly & Chameleon.
Still a great deal on the Townsend Luxury Bridge.
The Chameleon and Superfly are sold pending payment.
Got too much stuff. All include shipping in continental US.
Dutchware Chameleon Wide Hexon 1.6 Black - not a blemish on it. Only used on a couple weekend trips. Was $152 new, sale price $70

I put a small washer on mine instead of a bead when I make them.
I agree with cruiser that sometimes your butt is just going to be the lowest point on the underquilt. If I am pushing the limits of an underquilt, I carry a small piece of reflectix to slide under my...
Always a fun loop. Enjoyed the photos.
I've got one of the original ones in a gray/titanium color I can part with. Gonna cost as much to ship it across the country as it is worth, though. PM me and we can see if it is worth it.
I've put kam snaps on my tarp doors that didn't already have them (not sure who all has the option available besides Jared). They aren't going to stop sideways blowing rain, but I haven't need more....
You can get 10% off for signing up for their newsletter. Not 20%, but better than nothing if you are in a time crunch.
Congratulations. Looking forward to hearing the details.
You could tuck back into the rhododendrons at camp shortoff, but the wind on shortoff can be brutal when it picks up. Had a couple tarps get torn up there when that freight train of wind comes...
Just in case you don't have. Below is a link to my gorge master trails map. You can download the GPS file to use in whatever app you like. I use Alltrails, but most of the gorge rats use Avenza. Most...
I can't that weekend, but I'm going to do the ITAYG loop first weekend in December.
As far as east rim, water tree was dry last weekend, but there was enough coming out of gully pipe to camel up. Was told that there wasn't anything at chimney gap, but I didn't verify myself.
Make...
Good luck and have fun. I'd love to go, but already spent the last two weekends in the ditch. 2 nights is pretty ambitious - must move faster than me.
Certainly overkill, but I have Dutchware Stingerz on my tarp doors - one on each end. I can clip the doors together and go around the tree, down to a stake, or run the line through the door d-ring on...
Dutch has the sidecar and sidesling that are made to connect to the rings on the chameleon. I'm sure you could sew d-rings on whatever hammock to use the chameleon accessories.
I believe in the leave no trace principle and try to leave as little impact as I can. I know that I'll never be zero impact, but I try. If the thousands of people who visit a given park every year...
My lightest integrated bugnet hammock is also a 1.2 Darien. The cloud fabrics are lighter, but there are always trade-offs. Even having gone ultralight, I have switched back to a 1.6 hammock because...
Looks like nice weather. Someone wearing a down jacket in June is encouraging.
Below is a link to a video of one of my loops around Mt. Rogers. At about the 3 minute mark is the spot with a view that I usually grab at Thomas Knob. It's about an 1/4 mile past the shelter headed...
Attached is a 26 mile loop that I do around Black Balsam every once and a while starting at Big East Fork that hits Shining Rock, Tenet, Black Balsam, and the 3 waterfalls along the parkway. There...
There are plenty of spots, but I usually stay somewhere around the shelters since there is water access - Thomas Knob the first night and Old Orchard the second. There is also water at Scales and...
This is one of the ways that I do a loop around there. Lots of different ways to change it up, though.

I like that loop, but the 13 mile dry stretch of North Mountain is relentless. I usually do it clockwise starting at the Dragon Tooth lot, but maybe I should get North Mountain out of the way first....
I do an 18 mile loop around Mt Rogers / Grayson Highlands all the time, but there are ways to make it as much or as little as you want. Since even before the backpacker lot went to reservations and a...
Great to hear that you are getting better. I've been wanting to order a quilt for a while, but felt like I was contributing to your work overload. Maybe I'll put it in and note that their is...
Welcome. Got a few folks from the Triangle around here.
Had my 40 degree down to 32 with just a Loco Libre 20 degree topquilt and only wearing a baselayer and was plenty warm. I would say that their ratings are spot on if not a little conservative.
