KY>SOUTH EAST AREA>POSSIBLE HANG?

[Smckinney0031]

I have been watching this thread... Friends with KY and BigE.. Sorry to hear you had your stuff stolen... However being the hammock community is so tightly knit.. We could probably get you a set up together for this trip... I know a lot of us probably have extra gear that we would be more than happy to let you use...

You have no idea how hard I just cried. Thank you. Your word mean more than you know, even if I dont know you. I would be more than willing to still plan this if anyone would care to bring 2 gals hammocks to hang in!

I am totally devastated and angry. My hammock was my way of dealing with my stress and depression. I dont use medication for it. I use nature. They just took that away from me. It will be months before I can save up to replace it.

I had whoopie slings in there that were literally just made and given to me by James Fowler. I stopped to meet him on my way though Ga, and he taught me what he could about making them.

I have never had anything stolen from me. Granted, I didnt have some totally super sets of stuff, but what i had i worked hard to save up for and buy so my wife and I could enjoy this together.

They took my first hammock, a birthday gift from my mom. They took my wife's stuff and the hammock I bought her for father's day last year so she could join me.

I guess I just have to work hard on getting my first Dutch lol.

Ugh so I didnt finish my reply on that one. I like the idea that we have free roam at flatwoods. My new ranger friend is basically saying anything we want to do as long as we are respectful to the area and the forest. Turkey foot would take a bit of time to get EMS if there were to be any accidents or incidents.

Flat woods is great. Everything is close but we would be out by the lake in a little used area. He has offered to close the gate for the weekend so that random people can not come in, so still the feeling of seclusion with the convenience of town being 10 or 15 mins away.

Honestly at this rate its going to be hot as hell and the lake will be a welcome cool down spot. Close to the water is good.

That works lol!

Well crap... Just saw that your stuff was stolen.. thats terrible!! Jim is correct we can bring what you need, no worries.

I also saw the dates and I will be on our family vacation that weekend so no go for me and i'm super bummed. Sounds like a great spot and you have done so much recon to make this happen. I can send things with Jim or KY to make sure you are taken care of. Better idea, Sending you a PM.
