I am a Scoutmaster to a troopfull of hangers.
We have been hanging around for about two years.
Should we organized some type of event for this area?
My Troop is just north of Milwaukee.
Anyone interested?
Winter Event or Spring Event?

There are a few of us around - you can search the user list using this link. Because some people don't actually put the state in their location, you can check the google map as well. I know there was another WI scout master posting earlier this year as well - I remember him talking about hanging in the rain in July or August with his troop.
It is definitely something worth talking about. That is how our Northern Hang got started. I won't have much of a chance to do anything more this fall, and I am not sure where I will be in the spring, but I would like to hear more of what type of trip/event you might be thinking of, and where you might be thinking of going.
i also would be very interested in this, always looking for an excuse to "hang out" keep us posted on dates and locations please, 90% of the time you can count me in!!!!!! would even be willing to help with whatever you may need help with i'm west of you about an hr, janesville area
i do not remember the question, however i believe beer is the answer
Living up here outside of the Fox Cities. I believe we also have a member in GB.
Count me in.
As long as I don't have to work you can count me in. Sounds like a good time!
Good to find we have some interest...since I'm still a bit of a newbie here, what would a typical hangout look like? We have potential to hike and use some of the group sites in
both the Northern and Southern Kettle Moraine as one idea.
Let me know if you have any other ideas.
Heck, if you'll allow a foreigner from Minnesota, I might come join you!

Milwaukee is about 4 hours for me, so doable. We stopped off at the Kohler-Andrae State park this summer, passing through, and that looked like a promising place for hammock camping also.
Hangs are what folks make of them. The MAHHA style is a place where people gather for the weekend, lots of showing off of gear, meeting people. There are some off-site activities folks wander off on, and some folks spend a couple of days hiking in to the camp, but for the most part the event is centered at or near the camp site.
Others make a hike a central part of the activity, witness Northern Hang #1 and #2. This summer Mr. and Mrs Fin, a whole mess of Family Stormcrow, me and a couple of sons, and Doctari & friend had a weekend where we hiked and hung along a backpacking trail in Ohio's Shawnee State Forest.
For my part I like this latter style best. I also like cold weather camping...what can I say? I grew up in Northern Minnesota.
So....I'll come if I can. Maybe bring a couple of boy scouts from our troop along...
cheers
How does the Wisconsin Dells area sound in spring? We have camped at the group site at Mirror lake and it is VERY hammock friendly...lots of trees.
We tend to make a trip up there and then spend a day at one of the waterparks, come home (campsite) and have a nice dutch oven meal.
There are other sites in the area that people could do if their interests serve them.
Its also somewhat central to the state.
Devil's lake or the surrounding area might be nice as well, though we'd have to check the state park rules in re: hanging.
