True Silverpalm, the fun is, DIY... Camaraderie...Far from perfect
I’m hard of hearing, don’t remember words to songs, can’t carry a tune...but greatly enjoy simple melodic songs that I can hum along to
Was it Miles Davis who said “ I hate one note music” ? He had lots of great quotes
Well when our group sings...several different notes can be heard at same time...
Kind of like hammock camping...all in fun
I camp well away from main fire ring and when I get sleepy and before singing has stopped
I wander far away to my hammock, remove both hearing aids and fall asleep easily

Not bad.
Straight out of Clayton.
Most physical hike: Grandfather Mountain, NC. Aug 13.
I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.
Ella, Caleb aka Bacon , and I will be there. I am TBD on what to bring, but I will cook something up and let y’all know. I am trying to talk the wife and littlest one into going with us. We will see....

I'm gonna try and make it in Saturday night.... This new work schedule is really messing with my camping availability.
"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.”

MrPickl, you gonna miss Purdy Boil contest Saturday morning. That’s alright, I’ll tell you right now...old Phantom gonna smoke Peeeeetey, Mooseman and all contestants.
I used to have extra gear to make fire burn hotter...mini blowtorches, heat reflecting mirrors etc
Now I’m so good that all my extra equipment is fire fighting gear hoses water pumps and ladders.
Tazmaniac will be our honest judge. He’s as honest as any hammock camper. Tazmaniac will see to it that yours truly does not cheat “too much”, embarrassing Peeeeetey and Mooseman.
My “Purdy Boil” will be so fast, I’ll be able to drink all of my first mug before you boys see first bubbles form on bottom of your ice cold mugs!
I GarnaUtees it!
Sign up now, coffee enthusiasts!

Mooseman has a new secret weapon in his alcohol stove arsenal. Hammock campers and coffee drinkers, Phantom needs you now to plan on entering “Purdy Boil” contest...so y’all can smoke Peeeeetey and Mooseman, on account of I’m getting tired of their incessant bragging and talking smack, while safely ensconced behind their keyboards.
Y’all will be competing for second place,
I will be new champ!
I have purchased Fronkey style bugnet from Two Speed of TwoSpeedHammock. And am very pleased with quality of build. Also TwoSpeedHammock made it custom sized to my oversized hammock.
Thank you Two Speed at TwoSpeedHammock
Two Speed is an experienced hammock camper and backpacker. This is great!
I'll be there at Yates. Looking forward to my first group hang it
