I like the idea of a circular patch with year rockers that can be added below it. So, would the convention be to put the year that you started or ended the 12 for 12?

I like the idea of the year you completed the mission but it's up for debate!

I'm with high-peak. I would go with the year completed.

That's my thought as well. Figured it was aquestion worth asking.

Got out a couple of times last month (2/2 months since I started), still in the back yard, trying out different combinations and setups. Pretty mild, comfortable conditions both times with temperatures primarily in the 50s (F). I hope to get out hammock camping (not in the yard) sometime this month. Should be getting a bit chilly during the night starting this month. IMG_6897.JPG IMG_7069.JPG

So I'm done, #12

Got to say what a great idea this was!

So I haven't posted for a bit but I did get my #12nights in last month with a backyard hang. I also went out over the Labor Day weekend and had my 8 year old son on his first backpacking trip. His first time sleeping in a hammock and he loved it. Here are a few pics of the September trip, I guess that makes me 13 for 13...

Since I finished last month my 12 Nights For A Year, I am now beginning year 2. So this is Season 2, Month 1 spent last weekend on the Toccoa River in North Georgia.

Labor Day weekend had the usual campsites all taken as expected so we pushed on down to the last camp spot available.

First to set up the "Party Tarp" which is a Kelty 12 footer complete with a Dutchware continuous ridgeline which is super easy to use and keeps the tarp strung tight.

With limited room, I had to hike up a steep hill to set up my hammock. I found an excellent spot complete with porch-mode to look out at the river.

The weather could not have been more perfect but I put up my UGQ Hanger tarp anyway. The stars were out bright once it got dark.

I put my Helinox chair in the river to soak my dogs and drink a barley pop before it got dark.

Once the sun went down, the party tarp came to life.

Another excellent night in the woods.

Love the party tarp. Carl! Congrats on 2-1!

Still hoping my Wooki gets here before it gets too cold outside, but I'm 3 for 3 right now, after spending last night in the backyard.
I've also managed to get out of the backyard the last 2 months, and I will again in a few weeks when I attend a local grouphang, but for now, this is 3/3:

I can't complain so far, with a clear view of the sky with very little light pollution and some nice weather.
