    Town's End BGBH in NH

    Made a trip from SC to NY, NH & MD on a road trip to visit family. Set up for the night at my aunt's log cabin in the woods in Dalton, NH. The Town's End Big Guy Bridge and using my Hammeck stand. It fits perfectly! Overnight low should be high 60's or 70 so I left the UQ in the truck. We'll see how it goes. Hiking tomorrow in the White Mountains.

    Updated: added pictures of just the bare hammock in the Hammeck stand. Temps dipped so I added my UQ the 2nd & 3rd nights. Slept like a baby!

    Either Burnt Orange or Coyote Brown over Dark olive remains my favorite combos too.
    I like that Spring Green (Olive Yellow) a lot but my inner Horace Kephart always chides me to 'dress plainly' in the woods.

    Slugger-
    As they say in the UP michigan... We got Winter, Spring, Fall... and that one day in august.
    Sounds like you had at least one day of summer in NH; hope the trip went well... least I know you slept well

    Slugger why didn't you bring that orange drop cord to John Rock? I know 3 of us that could have slept a lot better, and stayed longer...

    It would have been about 6000 feet too short. At least you recognized why I had it out there!

    My Electric Margaritaville Biggydeluxe has channeled my inner Jimmy Buffet. There's a time to stealth camp and a time to hang party lights from the porch-moded tarp. I've learned to appreciate it's fantabulousness I just need a Texas flag tarp!
    But for the grace of God, there, I go...

    That's why I make em both, lol. Those who like them colors loud should hang em proud.
    I did one or two blaze orange/Olive yellow eye screamers...not for me but some folks perhaps.

    For various reasons on the supply side... I haven't had a chance to do an Olive Yellow/Olive drab combo yet. Now that I'm back sewing I finally have both in stock and I'm looking forward to trying it.

    Olive yellow and Black is a very sharp Big Boy too... though I'm partial to "woodland spring" (olive yellow over Coyote Brown).
