You are a good man, JohnSawyer!!!!
Please help Neo and family with a small donation to help cover medical expenses with Jackrabbit's illness:

That is GREAT... Thanks, RainMan and John Sawyer!!!
It says a lot about the caliber of the men and women of HF, that so many are willing to assist one of our own.
What I find even more...
My donation went in as a result of a PM from JohnSawyer.
Since there is a need, AND so many willing participants, surely there is a way to publicize to let Members know how to contribute. I...
When I try to get to the Thread for Donations for Logan's medical expenses, I get the following message:

Thanks for the suggestions... the compression bag is worth the investigation to try to find one...
Thanks for the suggestion, Wags... I will do that... I guess the only way to answer "is it a good idea" is do it and see if it will fit logically into my backpack!!!
Is there a source to buy a Black Bishop bag large enough for an ENO DB, Mt Washington 3, and a Hudson River? If so, would it be a good idea to use a BB bag for all three?
Thanks!!!
Excellent job, JJ... thank you!! I wish this had been available last year when I first started; it would have saved me a buncha time... not that the time spent browsing wasn't fun, just a bit...
HobieCat, what size Black Bishop bag do you use to accommodate the hammock, TQ, and UQ? Since I am not a DIYer, can the BB Bag be bought anywhere... maybe a qpecial order from 2QZQ??? Thanks!!!!
I guess I have neck ties older than most of you!!!
I am 70; can still sleep in a tent, just don't wanna after learning about hammock camping last year!!! Thanks for all you, collectively, have...
Like Tina Louise, almost all my camping is with my Boy Scout Troop; we camp at least once a month and it varies from State Parks to wilderness areas... With the younger Scouts, it is mostly car...
Lord, AJ, I hope not... I am 70 and just started hammocking!!! I have a ton of new gear including UQ, TQ, more stoves than is necessary, Aarn Natural Balance pack, etc., etc... I never even stop to...

I bought mine from Whoopieslings.com and have been very satisfied... I use a Marlin Spike and Whoopie Slings...
My quilts arrived today!!! I won't be able to "play" with them until next week but I am thrilled to have them in hand!!! Christmas in October!!!
Great post, Swamp Fox... after reading and looking at the pix, I now judge myself to be a second tier Scoutmaster!!! I am in awe!!!
I just ordered the MW 3 UQ and the Hudson River TQ... I am relatively new to hammock camping and was procrastinating on making a choice... this pushed me over the edge!!
Thanks for the sale...

Got the "b's" (Brian and Brandon) mixed up... I am sorry!! Just saw the words "spin" and "tarp" used in the same post and went off half cocked... will be more careful in the future before sounding...
