I've been tempted by this hammock several times...as luck would have it, my dividend notification arrived yesterday. I think it's time to take the plunge and try a bridge hammock, thanks for sharing...

I remove my net as soon as possible and leave it off as long as possible here in South Carolina

Awesome! Glad you both enjoyed the trip!

Interesting! Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely have to check it out.

Hello from South Carolina! You have some beautiful country to hang in up there in PA...have always enjoyed my visits to the western part of the state while visiting friends in Moundsville, WV!

Hello from South Carolina!

Stumbled across Shug’s videos and this forum about the same time as I was looking up information on the Foothills Trail here in SC. Decided that I needed to check out the hammock scene and ordered a...

I love using my hammock in lounge mode. I keep my rig in the top of my pack just so I can set it up for rest and meal breaks instead of carrying a stool

Oh man, such great videos! So glad I found this thread. I had to subscribe to your YouTube haha

So very sad and tragic

Wow...just wow! Such beautiful scenery

Thank you for the kind words! Oh yes, we are looking forward to many more memories made...he’s been dragging me into the woods for 30 of my 34 years. I’ll drag him where ever he wants to go next for...

Delightful as always! Thanks for giving us a peek into you and Hickery’s hike. I imagine we all feel like we know you just a bit and speaking only for me, I find great solace, comfort, and peace in...

Thank you, Shug for bringing a smile to my face this evening. It’s taken me two weeks to post this as I’ve been loathe to admit that I won’t spend another night in the woods with my Dad. It was a...

Just did an overnight with my dad, very likely our last one. Thoroughly enjoyed your video!

Excellent! Thanks for taking us along.

My Dad wanted to do a bit of a last hurrah overnight backpacking trip as his health is catching up with him and he can no longer walk well even without a pack. He says he’s retiring to campground...

My scariest moment just happened on my last trip to Ellicott Rock Wilderness. This was just after Hurricane Irma passed through the area and there was a ton of trees still down and the trail...

As mentioned by others, I carry a candle lantern on every trip, but I never have it in the hammock with me. It's on the ground or hanging nearby.

Congrats on a successful hang and a well done video!

I wish I would have saw this before my first outing with my Amok last night. I discovered your method in my own after rolling around for several minutes hahaha

Nothing special, just some instant Quaker Steel Cut oatmeal, brown sugar I think was the flavor. Coffee wise, I always carry the Medaglia d'oro instant espresso after learning about it from Shug's...

I just wanted to get out for an evening and test out the new set-up. So I drove up to the Sumter National Forest- Andrew Pickens District and did a short (literally maybe 1.5 miles) hike from the end...

Awesome! A lifetime of memories being made

Welcome from a fellow South Carolinian Army vet(field artillery 13S for me)...there's plenty of hanging all over this great state regardless of where you are located if you're willing to get out...

Welcome from SC! Good luck with your pursuits.

I test in the yard all the time but because I live just inside the town limits the ambient noise means I don't often sleep overnight in the backyard. I have free camping in the national forest 15...

Very nice! Working on purchasing my first kayak now, just have to decide which I want

Enjoyed it, Shug. Lots of great info

Great video and looks like a very nice hike. I agree with TrailSlug, that's a shame about the graffiti. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a great trip! Thanks for sharing

Howdy! I also joined back in 2012 and lurked for a very long time before deciding to become active in the last few weeks. I'm from SC too (Laurens) and just wanted to say hello and welcome!

Lol, close to it. Perfect sleeping weather though, got down to 55 last night.

Watching the sunrise this morning...

Tonight's hang...just a quick trip to see my parents at Calhoun Falls State Park.

Awesome report and pictures! Looks like a great time had by all

Been a mostly lurking member on here since 2012...grand total of 5 or maybe 6 posts in all those years spent reading and learning. Last night I decided it was time to give back and try to participate...

Wow! Some absolutely gorgeous scenery, thanks for sharing with us.

Well by golly when/if/where/etc you do do, hehehe I said do do, them again I will be ready and one shall come back to ancestral land of Shug Ancients. Or today known as the Woodruff/Enoree/Laurens...

Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area in the northwest corner of SC is my most frequent and favorite location. Though, I also enjoy hiking, camping, and kayaking in the Congaree National Park near...

I added my name to the SC list!

I worked in Woodruff from 2005-2008 and my ex-Wife is from there. Her and her new husband and my kids still live there. I am there each weekend to pick them up. It is a small world.

Anyone did any hanging in the Enoree District of the Sumter National Forest? I'm itching to get out and a backcountry permit for dispersed camping is free. There's a lot of acreage, I'm just...

I've had nothing too terribly dramatic so far, however the one moment where I thought that my heart stopped for a few beats was when I somehow managed to climb up a tree while hunting without...

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I certainly hope to pop in and make an appearance at a few group hangs...my work schedule is crazy.

I like to wander around in the southern Appalachians...hence the name ;)

Hello all. I'm new to hangin' and have been a lurker on here for a year or so, finally decided to come and hang out! Thanks to all for all the great information I have gleaned so far and I can't wait...
