    Trip Report>MA "The Sweat Hog Hang" Harold Parker State Forest 2016 Summer

    Even though my time at this hang was short I still had a chance to enjoy the non fire , fire time with everybody.
    It was a bit of a sausage fest -Italian sweet and hot, cevapcici , chorizo, and probably the best kielbasa I have had thank you Sir Gil!
    I'm still laughing about how Bryan was talking about how a newbie enters a hammock feet first haha oH and that cooler corn
    was a nice snack!!

    Thanks for getting this started Jerry.

    When I have time later today, I'll try and post up some more pics.

    We did regret the fact that you were unable to enjoy Saturday day with us, but we enjoyed your company both nights. The Chorizo and Cevapcici were awesome.

    Look forward to our next hang together.

    All the best !

    Great hang, had lots of fun and learned a few things. I didn't take many pictures so I hope others did.

    1. A small ridgeline fan does wonders when it's hot out. My little 3inch rechargeable fan from Amazon worked great, although the fan Jerry had looked awesome.

    2. Learned how to cast for fly fishing, now I have Edelweiss stuck in my head. Thanks Chaaaz. Hopefully I'll be able to get some actual fishing in next time.

    3. Cooler corn defiantly works and is amazing. Ideas for more cooler options seem to be lobster and ramen.

    4. My MSR mini groundhog stakes might have to be retired, the crazy wind we had caused them to pull up. Back to regular groundhogs it is.

    5. You can apparently survive a storm using only a parasol.

    What a way to spend national hammock day.

    All set up in storm mode. Our site had lots of branches falling in the woods right behind it.

    Cooler corn, the best way to cook corn for a group.

    The usual HP Blast. As John (R3@LAX) aptly said, we hung with old friends and made some new friends.

    Thanks to all that came. Already looking forward to next year's HP Hang. Maybe next year the air conditioned sites will be available.

    All the best !

    Hi Megan,

    I uploaded 3 batches in 3 messages. I see the first 9 pics in the first of the three messages. I don't see the other's either although it is showing the picture file number "attachment". Not sure what's going on. Maybe the files are still uploading ???

    Will check back in a bit.
