I would to get packed up and make it down Thursday night to get an extra night in the woods. I am pretty sure I won't be able to because I am so slow at packing.

I just saw some videos about the new Cloud 71 from Dutchware. I'm not planning to buy a new hammock for a while but would love to see the Cloud 71 in person if anyone was thinking about bringing one to Yates.

Wish Cloud 71 hammock has a wide version
No, not now, maybe never wide.
This will push that total pack weight down even lower for ultra light hammock backpackers

I will get wide, if ever made available.
Shaw I know I need to reduce pack weight, so that I’ll be more comfortable and so that you won’t have to slowdown as much when I trek with you.

It's over a month away and I've already pulled all of my gear out to check it, clean as needed and to organize it.

I would do something like that but I don't have room to store stuff that much before a trip.

Ok. I am in. This will be my 1st trip to Yates. Looking forward to it. With other hangs getting cancelled I am itching for some time in the woods.

Loner, Yates is calling. You will probably see some hammock campers you recognize from hangs, and some you only know from their posts here on Hammock Forums.

^^ This right here. I have a spreadsheet listing my items by rows, in various categories. The first three columns are titled, Find, Check, Pack. I do this well in advance just in case any items that have been stored need some type of cleaning or repair.

Sounds good. I figured some familiar faces would be there. Maybe I won't scare anyone with my "West TN" face and accent.
