    LA > Kisatcie Bayou, Feb 25-28, 2016 5th Annual Louisiana Fall Group Hang

    Hey guys its finally here. The thread everyone has been waiting for. I'm gonna try and knock out as many questions as I can before they are asked, so here goes.

    Who's a hanging?
    Anyone and everyone, we don’t discriminate cause you use a tent. Go to the spreadsheet ( the link is in my signature)and sign in. It helps us keep a head count on who is coming.

    What we hanging for?
    The 5th Annual Louisiana Fall Group Hang is a car camping event. You can hike, fish, paddle (if the bayou is up) or just hang out.

    When we hanging?
    The last weekend in February 25th- 28th

    Where we hanging?
    We will be hanging at the Kisatchie Bayou campsite. You can find directions here

    What is this going to cost me?
    See link above for campsites.
    We will be doing a raffle again this year. Tickets are $1 per ticket. Donations for the raffle are always appreciated. All proceeds from the raffle go toward raffle prizes for the next years hang.

    What should campers do about food?
    Granger has said he will cook again the Friday night.
    We will be cooking a pig again the Saturday night but any other main or side dishes are welcome.
    All other meals are up to the individual camper.

    How much food do we need to bring for Saturday should I choose to cook something?
    For a main dish look at serving size of 25 and for side something around 10-15. Don't be afraid to show off your cooking skills. We do have a pretty awesome pair of cooks but we love to eat.

    What about firewood?
    In a state park it is always hard to find wood. It is just such a used area. It will get chilly and we usually have a communal campfire to sit around and tell Russian Topquilt or Cookie Coon stories. Bringing a couple logs would sure help a bunch.

    A few things to remember for those attending for the first time.
    Come completely self-contained as you would on a car camping trip at home. Don’t forget a camp chair. My stories can get lengthy and you may need to sit down for one or two of them. Also any donated items for the raffle.


    Let the fun begin again.

    This sounds great! We camped at Kisatchie Bayou Campground this past weekend. LOTS of trees for hanging! We had 5 hammocks on one campsite with room for more. One question...what if we can't make it there until the 26th? Do you think there will still be room? Are people willing usually to share campsites if they are all full? This will be my first time doing a group hang...looking forward to meeting everyone!

    I think you'll be fine. Most are more than welcome to share sites. Plus I don't think finding trees in the forest will be hard to do

    Jazz, the directions given on the link can be shortened about 25 miles if you get off I49 at the 119 Cloutierville exit before you get to Natchitoches.
