I won't be able to attend. Last minute changes at work and at home. I will miss seeing you all again, but have a great time and enjoy the movie. I look forward to seeing all the great pictures...

Yeah...I like your vision much better than mine! :laugh:
Tim,
If we are doing it after the dinner and raffle at the pavillion, why not show the film at the pavillion? We can set up the screen there, people have places to sit, and you don't have to mess...
ATTROLL, do the stickers have adhesive on the back or are they the electrostatic kind that stick on a smooth surface without an adhesive?
Getting back to your original post about having your wife use the UQ when tent camping (on the ground I expect)...any UQ that will lay flat (not gathered) on at least one end will work fine as a TQ...
Count me in too!
Doogie,
A little bit of knot history/lore...actually they are very similar but the difference in the midshipmans hitch makes it much more stable when it doesn't have any tension on it, so it...
Here is one from April timeframe: https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/48220/
2Q, feel free to download the map graphic I made for use the future questions if you want.

Attroll,
Check my post on the announcement thread: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/110367-PA-gt-2016-SPRING-MAHHA-Sites-Reserved?p=1590936&viewfull=1#post1590936
Old 11B/11C here. We loved you guys, especially when it meant I didn't have to do my own call for fires. :D My dad was a redleg and I was what he called a cannon fodder butterbar. those in service...
I am planning on being there. Maybe bring my wife if I can talk her into it.
Durtsurf,
The point that myingon is making is that all of the heat in your sleep system comes from what your body radiates. That is the only source, other than the warmth from your breath. If you...
Something I have found that works really well, especially for the weight, is putting a pad of reflective material (like reflectix or those windshield visors) in your hammock as the layer you sleep...
Murray,
The individual campsites are shown on this map in the bottom left of the graphic, in the loop with the satellite that has the number 2 on it. The group camping is about in the middle of...
Do a search on Spring MAHHA 2016. It is in PA the end of April, 100-200 folks should be in attendance. Plus, there should be some folks who are vendors there, but likely not setting up booths, it's...
Tangara,
Another approach, other than an underquilt is to use an insulated air mattress. Slip it into the bottom of your hammock, or in the sleeve if it has one, and it will take care of your cold...
Maybe do one in the Summer too.
Sorry guys, but I won't be able to make it this time. And I was really looking forward to it. I might make it out on Sunday for a bit but nothing overnight.
A note on firewood. Unless things have changed, they do not let you bring in your own firewood because of problems they have had with insects damaging the trees. So, to prevent the unintentional...
Just as an FYI, the last post got me to thinking and the temps are forecast to be Hi of 48* and Lo of 22* for the weekend.
I have also seen people hang side by side with three trees. The head of both hammocks go on Tree A, then the foot of one goes on Tree B and the foot of the other goes on Tree C. Trees B and C are...
Just not any with metal foil in it. We would have to throw that away after it burned...LNT.
What about hitting your own back yard in the Apalachicola National Forest. Here is a link to their backpacking page. Seems to have a lot to offer......
Corey, have you picked a date for this yet, or did I miss it in your first post?
Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and can't wait to learn and contribute to this awesome place. I'm a HUGE fan of Shug and I watch all of his videos on camping. I'm a tent camper, but I'm looking to...
I was wondering what magazines to look for to see articles about hammocks or hammock camping. Outside and Backpacker came to mind, but are there any others I am not thinking of? Maybe outdoor/hunting...
I am going to try to make it also. I have some winter hammocking gear I need to try out. And nothing beats time around a campfire with like minded folks.
Larry
I will be there too, and will bring some extra hammocks if folks need them.
Dutch,
I will definitely have my two Coleman stoves, two burners each, there in time for breakfast tomorrow. I won't let you down.
Larry
Well, life is getting in the way for me too today. I planned to leave three hours ago (at noon) but won't be leaving until this evening. I will likely get there around dark or later. Tomorrow...
Dutch,
I see you are still short on stoves so I will bring a couple of two burner green Coleman camp stoves up with me. My browser won't let me edit the spreadsheet so feel free to add that to it...
Saint Francis,
Check out the map in my post (#119) to see where in the park we will be hanging. I will have about half a dozen hammocks set up that I am doing an evaluation on....so, if you get...
I've caught some of my biggest large mouth bass with this exact dry fly! One of my favorites.... :rolleyes:
locknload,
The camping sites are along the southern edge of the parking lot in the center of the map below. I marked them as F and A-E. The parking lot is the white rectangle.

I see that we have all of the group camping areas reserved, A-F. Since I will be setting up several different hammocks for people to see and try, and for me to get your thoughts on them for my...
Ratdog,
Thank you for the clarification, especially at this late hour.
I will be coming up sometime on Friday and will be staying with everyone else. I have a half dozen hammocks I want to set...
OK, I'm a new guy here and a bit confused on the camping locations. I see the Furnace Stack Pavilion, by the AT Museum, and I see the Horseshoe Loop with all of the campsites on it a bit away from...
I am working on a review of hammocks for one of the magazines I write for part time. If I can make it I will bring nine different hammocks and set them up for all to see, sit in, and sleep in if you...
McCormick, I will give you a call.
Anyone else in the Annapolis area? I saw on the HF Google map that there was someone at the Naval Academy at one time.
Is anyone from Annapolis or nearby. I am writing some articles about hammocks and hammock camping and wanted to get some other perspectives.
