    Valens May 2-4th (Wed-Fri)

    I bought a couple WBBBs for my fiance and a friend of ours and what better place for them to test them out than our favourite site 134 at Valens Conservation.

    Being a weekday camp I don't expect much interest, but decided I'd post it up anyway.

    Good job on converting 2 more to the way of the hammock.

    You may just have the Valens camp ground to yourself being week days. Some of the more local hangers may pop out for a visit on one of the evenings.

    Have fun and take pictures.

    Cheers

    Can I come out for a visit?

    I can't stay the night as I have to work the next day.

    As I am new I would love to see someone's setup.

    Absolutely! Although my setup is not the very least bit "professional" and the two with me will probably just have their brand new Blackbirds with some cheap pads/tarps.

    I did pick up some guy-line, better stakes, and extra inserts for my IX UQ, so I'm looking forward to slowly getting there. Now I just need a purpose-built tarp!

    If you're still interested in seeing my ramshackle setup I'll PM you my contact info before I leave.

    I am very interested in seeing your setup.

    I have a byers of maine traveller light hammock and that is all, so I would love to see how I can make due until I can get a real tarp and under quilt.

    Are you staying 2 nights or 3?

    We might be able to to get out on the Thursday night. Be sure to bump this thread the weekend before. Our work allows us to take days off with as little as a days notice.

    Are you guys still going?

    Let me know, as I would love to come out and meet some people.

    I can not stay over as I do not have my gear yet and I have to work.

    Yes, we'll be going barring any unusual circumstances.

    Forecast* as of now calls for 20 degree highs and about 5mm rain each day.

    @Jayson: We're staying two nights. We'll likely arrive in the evening on wednesday and leave Friday Morning.
