Great report TZ! I love the Gorge. It truly is a gem. Glad you enjoyed your first trip!
id be interested, but im too much of a soccer fan to miss usa vs england that weekend! i did that loop about two years ago. started at pinnacle and went counter-clockwise. went out pinchin instead of...
still undecided on my final setup as i've loaned some things out recently, BUT...
-HH U. L. Explorer w/ zip mod #2 and stock suspension OR warbonnet blackbird 1.1 dbl with tri-glides and webbing...
Got it written down in the calendar. Fingers crossed, I should be able to make it.
ill try to plan on being there too. the october trip sounds great as well.
Oh I heard. On our last trip, I showed him the ropes and things went much more smoothly to say the least. If we go up together in two weeks, hopefully I'll have a blackbird to show off to him.
i've been a member of the Linville Gorge Yahoo group for a little over a year now, and wanted to thank Ken for all of his hard work. i might be going up in two weekends from now to do some work with...
i suggest 2Q as well. with respect to your sewing skills, why risk a good hammock? put it in good hands with 2Q/ZQ.
thanks, i was referring to the hammock suspension. what didn't you like about the tri-glides?
Does anyone have experience with these? forgive me if i overlooked something, but i couldnt find anything on these in the forums.
i just received my Mt Washington last friday, and with my limited testing, don't see how you're getting any draft on that quilt with it sinched up. the loft was incredible and it was toasty!!
thanks for the review, i've been looking into getting a new tarp (i currently use the HH Hex tarp). i like the 11x10's weight and options. hopefully i'll get some extra change to purchase one! i just...
i would enjoy that! i'll search the forum to find out more information about the MT. Rogers trip. we should get the locals together to meet and talk hammocks and plan trips.
for now though, i'll...
ill try to get some pictures up this weekend, NC. enjoying this weather?
just received my MT Washington in the mail today! i took it out and looked it over, and it looks amazing. the loft is incredible! i plan on taking this on a trip to a cold Linville Gorge, NC for a...
pinch in is tough- but beautiful!!! i imagine that if i hadn't hiked 20 or so miles the two days before, it wasn't mid day when i acended it, and i had water that it would be a MUCH easier climb for...
yeah i posted it right after my trip and forgot to post here. i'm returning to the gorge this weekend for another loop with a friend. i'll post another trip report when i get back.
i noticed a trip report on the linville gorge recently and realized that i forgot to post my own trip report that i undertook this past 4th of july. i'm a member of the yahoo linville gorge group and...
speaking of Golite, i have their "Race" pack also. it was a part of their Adventure Series- (i think its discontinued) but what a pack! i still use it for overnighters, but at 1lb. 8 oz., it is...
yeah, its sad that workmanship has become so hit-or-miss with big companies. how much weight were you carrying?
I'm sorry to hear about Coffee's situation. usually Gregory is better about returns than that. as far as the Z-55 is concerned, I LOVE IT!!! granted, I've never put it through a THRU-HIKE, but it has...
will do. im expecting it to arrive early this week, and i have a trip planned out to linville gorge, nc. hopefully i'll get to test it to at least the 50's at night. thanks again for your input, and...
thanks for your input! to be specific, what degree range would you think that would carry me down to?
i am about to buy my first JRB quilt, and was wondering what opinions or input anyone had on this setup:
-JRB shenandoah (used as underquilt)
-JRB weathershield 2
-Montbell U.L. superstretch #5...
is this a package deal, or would you be willing to sell seperately? im interested in the Nest
I'm wanting to get a JRB Nest underquilt and/or a weather shield version 2 (preferably with suspension as well). would like to get something in decent shape. i would buy a new one, but i'm looking to...
wow, i'd heard about the "ruins", but have never seen pictures of it. your pictures were great slowhike, it looks like a great place. i hate i missed it when they were in bloom! at least from this...
no the flowers wont be blooming, but it's a place i've heard a lot about and i look forward to checking out the place. i saw those stone piles, any idea as to what they were used for?
yeah, im really excited to take it on. i just hope the weather isnt THAT incredibly hot. i can deal with it hiking, but i have a hard time sleeping when im too hot. it's been a while since i've been...
thanks for the info. i'll seeya on the trail...David
thanks slowhike. i see we're both from winston! i am definatly more familiar with the north end of the gorge than the south, and the west more-so than the east. i just recently became a hanger and of...
hello all,
i'm planning a trip to the linville gorge wilderness area, here in NC on the 4th of July weekend (hopefully not too hot). i'm planning on taking a much different route than i usually...
