I will have an extra UQ/TQ with me if you need to borrow either.

I will have a couple of complete set ups as spares if you need anything MuadDale. I wont be hard to find, just look for the Tensa display.

Wow thank you both so much, that's very kind!

It may be a non-issue if I get my quilts by then or rig something from an old sleeping bag here. Heck, it may be warm enough for my Costco DIY set, weather outlook looks like high 50's/low 60's at night.

I'm really interested in seeing the Tensa so either way I'll swing by!

[MuadDale]

Aaaaand I just got the shipment e-mail notification. They're on the way.

Thank you for the kind offers, hopefully someone else will be able to take advantage of your generosity!

Do vendors have deals at this hang? Are there quite a few?

[lilricky]

There will be several vendors in attendance. We try and stress to them that Hangcon is a time for them to unwind, but many show off their wares and are eager to talk to prospective customers. Don't forget, winning raffle prizes are some of the best deals around!

Hello everyone! I just signed up for HangCon! I think this is my first post on the forums, too. I've been on one of the FB groups and was stalking this page and Reddit for a year or so.

I'll be driving from Colorado and plan to arrive Thursday and stay thru Monday. My husband just found out he has to be at his Miami office for 3 weeks straight starting the 21st, so I am driving down ahead to go to this event, see my family in Sarasota and then join him in Miami. Perfect timing!

I am still a hammock newbie. I have a Hennessey Ultralight setup, but only used it this summer for a section of the AT in PA. I am doing my second attempt of an AT thru-hike in March so I need to beef it up a bit -- I ran out of time last year and ended up in a tent and that didn't last my hips past Franklin, NC. Oy.

I just got my Warbonnet Superfly yesterday. I realize I ordered it without any guy lines or whatever...so I'll have to figure that out before I arrive. Ha. I have Jack R Better quilts coming tomorrow or Friday. I also have a backup hammock from Ripstop guys' Appalachian Hammock venture which I have yet to figure out how to setup.

Soooooo anyway... I may be that person asking for some shakedown help with all the bits and pieces from the experienced hangers so I can rock the AT this time around. I watch videos on Youtube and think I understand, but I have zero hangable trees around me here and so it just all slips my mind.

See you soon!

I’ll be glad to help you out. As would every hanger there. You may wind up with too much help!! Just don’t be afraid to ask. We have all been there.

[Cajunracer]

Would like to attend this year, it’s me and my better half’s wedding anniversary on the 18th and I would want her along. Does anyone have an extra setup she could sleep in? If so please pm me so I can add our names to the list. I keep telling her how good a hammock would be for her back

I’ll have a few spare complete rigs if y’all need. Just find the Tensa display. That will be me.
