    Wish I could have made this hang.
    You were missed.

    Thanks for organizing this hang gunner. Thanks to everyone for letting us hang with you. We had a blast!
    Glad you had a good time and thanks for joining us. Got a chance to check out those Kevlar tree straps you had, Those things are crazy light weight.

    That blue hammock is made from the new ROBIC® nylon 6 fabric from Ripstopbytheroll. Not sure what the weight rating is but it held my 290 lbs with no problem and if there was any stretch, it was minimal.

    hey...we were texting each other......actually I kept checking to see if my work schedule had been posted ( it wasn't )

    we were not stealing bites of the prime rib...we were conducting quality control tests.

    Meckie set a new bar in that how many group hangs has anyone attended where prime rib was served.

    Got a request to fill out a survey about our visit to MMSP.. Please take a couple of minutes to fill out the survey. I have already done so.

    Once again I forgot to get a group photo. Some one needs to remind me at the next hang to do so.

    Gunner,
    Remember to take a group photo at the next hang! ;0)

    I also want to thank you and the Terminator for organizing another great hang. It was a blast...as I've come to expect. I think I'm spoiled since MMSP was my first ever group hang...lol. Y'all broke me in right.

    It was great to see a bunch of familiar faces... as well as some new ones.

    Pappy, was a pleasure hangin' with you as always. Loved the pimpin' new condo you built. I appreciate you showing me the side pullout support system as well.

    OBX, was good to see you out and about although you couldn't stay and hang with us.

    Meckie, thanks for the stories and the prime rib. ;op Loved seeing the gear as well.

    Sandman, Timberland, Starfish Comet, Tacoma and all the rest, it was great to spend time with you around the fire ring again.

    I hope to be able to get to more hangs this year and spend more time in the trees with you good folks. It always seems to be a pleasure!

    My family and I really enjoyed our visit to the camp, thanks for the hospitality! The Millpond really seems like a great place. Not sure about summertime, I'd be scared the mosquitos would carry me away at night. I'll be keeping my eye on the upcoming hangs and try to get geared up for one, might be a year before we've accumulated enough of our own stuff to make it a family event but you can count on seeing us again.

    Special props to Gunner, Cas52 and Meckie for the camp tours and very helpful info.

    don't let that stop you. between all of us I bet we could come up with enough gear to loan you for a weekend of hanging
