"You Do Not Go to Ground" photo contest

**somniferous** · 04-07-2015, 08:28

Did some gear testing of my new superfly (with wilderness logics pole mod), dutch bling, and UGQ flightjacket 20 last night. It was really windy so no porch mode.

UQ was a Jarbidge kept me toasty warm.

Ok let's see....No shoes, Napping, Jealous ground dwellers in the background, Sweet truck, Sweeter Road Armor bumper. I think that about covers it all

I see a hammock among some tents using the actual tent poles as ... Err trees? I know it's not really possible but it sure shows some determination to follow rule 1 and 2.

Btw great initiative Paul.

Some great entries so far! Keep them coming, one more day to get your photo into the contest. I will be picking the winner this weekend and announce it Monday. Got some great gear in the winners pile!

Here are my 2 "I will not go to ground" experiences. First is my turtle dog stand...too bad you can't see the hammock, but it was blowing light rain so I had things pitched down tight and I had to keep it staked down to prevent blow over.

And my YATS that I set up for my son and the other hammockers in my troop.

I'll take my hammock over a colman air mattress any day.

This isn't a contest entry I'm just sharing my photo.

A perfect site for tents but I had to hang off of the shelter. Surprisingly difficult to find space to hang in NZ as the vegetation is really thick, this was last week in the Waitakere's on new Zealands West coast

Another UK campsite with boring flat grass everywhere so the landy got used as a surrogate tree

I posted to Google+ but thought I'd share here too. This was in the Owyhees where trees are slim pickings. Scouts wanted to check out the hieroglyphs so I had to accomodate but was not about to "lower" my standards.
