I will make this.
I'll have to keep my eye out on upcoming ones. Hope to join you guys.
Um … this doesn’t look quite right. If I tried it this way, I would break my nose.

Is that how you get two people in a double layer hammock?
Please count me in. Hope your dog wins and I'll vote daily if allowed. Hope you feel better, as well.
Regards,
Ryan
I'm probably not going this weekend. I'm going the next time I can pulk in and out, so I need snow.
Welcome Dan!
If my family can watch my mom for the weekend, I may be shooting to go January 24th & 25th. I have a pulk sled I want to try out.
Speaking as one who regretfully missed this one, as soon as possible.
My intentions are to be there later on Saturday.
Consider me in
Please consider me entered. Thanks Kyle!
I'm sure it'll depend on when it is, but I hope he can get out.
I say transparent.
I intend on going. Looking forward to it. No preference on which weekend.
Wish I could join you guys. My Mom's & Brother's birthday tomorrow. Have a great time!
Thanks trail runner. I don't know why I was that concerned about color. I figure 97% of the time that I'm in it, it'll be dark and I'll have my eyes closed and it wouldn't matter if it's zig-zagged...
Thanks for the reply Ratdog. I'm very much looking forward to the hammock. I guess for the overcover I shouldn't expect to be any warmer with a heavier fabric. Thanks for the Olive appreciation...
I've ordered a Thunderbird and from what I've heard, I know I'll be thrilled the day it gets here. Meanwhile, I'd looked at papa smurf's recent photos and I'd begun to question my fabric choices. I...
Please consider me entered in the ridgeline organizer giveaway. Thank you very much!
Looks like a nice spot. Have you gone yet? I have to visit this site a bit more often.
Thanks for all the great advice. I managed to wait out my coworkers one night and used the plotter to print out the pdf map from http://www.cowlumbia.com/images/cowlumbiacm12nb.pdf and I'm in the...
My buddy and I have been planning to go to the Illinois-Washington game in September, so I decided to come early and fly into Portland. My initial plan is to secure a camp spot at Ainsworth State...
Some of these stories make me want to coin a new term, "shammock" for when you duece in your hammock.
Thanks for the report from this beautiful area. That's an awesome pulk sled as well.
I had a great time! Thanks for the great stew Bob & George!
Bob - you had said something about pitching in and getting the city crew that plowed the drive some fish fry tickets at the Lithuanian...
I'm a little behind at work today, probably won't be there until closer to 4.
I hope to leave work at 2, getting there at 3:30. I'm putting things together tonight, so let me know if there's anything I should bring. I have a campfire grate if that should help.
Thanks Bob. Consider me in. Looking forward to it and hoping others can make it out.
Here's some more photo's:
Steve,
Sorry to hear about your return trip issues with the the wind. While the wind made for a lot of adversity for the whole outing, it provided opportunity to pick up on and demonstrate skills. ...
Thanks Dan! I will.
I don't have one. Maybe on the way out, I'll stop at Farm & Fleet to get one.
For food, I'm bringing reuben sausages and some potato pancake mix, pop tarts, granola and a packet of pancake mix....
Hope you can make it Barchetta. I'm taking a half day on Friday so I should be out there around 3pm.
Oops, guess it's not for Friday night. I have such a hard time leaving my goddaughters birthday early for this. Consider me a maybe until I know for sure about the bday date. I'll still help put...
Looking forward to it, though I'll probably just be there for Friday night. Call me a few days ahead of time when start putting firewood together and I'll give you a hand.
That'd be great Jcavanaugh. I hear it's supposed to be windy(25mph) Fri/Sat, which will impact site selection, setting up, fire, hydration, etc. Hope not to have to go to the ground. I know to...
The light weight version is something I'd been practicing lately -- finding 3 6 foot tree limbs and bring some rope. Planning on doing some camping travel to Oregon/Washington in early September and...
I'll bring a cooking grate if that helps. I have a pot as well which is intended for camping, but has only been used for hot apple cider and tequila at tailgating over a portable burner. It has a...
Surprisingly, there was only 4-6 inches of snow.
I'll make it up if you decide to go up Friday. Just let me know by Wednesday night, so I can make work arrangements for Friday.

Okay, I made a scouting trip out last week. I have some photos in this album:...
I got a Lewis underquilt shell from underquilts.com and the last of my down just arrived today. I hope to finish filling this weekend and sew it shut next weekend. I’m overfilling the shell, so if...
I guess they wound up closing the road I was on (route 38).

My scouting trip will have to wait until next week. Roads were slick and I slid off the road about 5 miles from my house. Once I got pulled out, I witnessed two other cars in separate areas losing...
That's about right, then take route 20.
Edit: OR 30, 47, 64, 39, 20 might work better, to avoid tolls.
If another person wants to make it a two night hang, I'll join in. I have a lot of new gear that I want to try out.
I just spoke with the visitor center and I was told there were trees in...
Hope you can join in, Jcavenaugh. "The best in tent camping: Illinois" by John Schirle lists this as a best for hiking and beauty.
I've asked a moderator set the date in the heading to be January 25th. That's the weekend between the NFL Conference championships and the Superbowl.
I'm waiting on some down to finish up the UQ. I hadn't started to stuff it until recently. When I had filled it with the amount recommended, I wanted to put more in it. I started a job in St....
Congrats winners! Thanks for the opportunity to win canteen boy!
