My posts are gone????????? What did I do this time????
So, what was the procedure and price?
Like new.... slept in maybe twice... never stored compressed. I've added shock cord in the seams on either side (like Stairguys) to help snuggle the bottom up against you and let the top half then...
from minnesota
yes I like the tarp too.... been thinking of doing that as well.
hELLO FROM mINNESOTA..... WE'RE A LITTLE DIFFERENT
Hiking in the redwoods.... most could only imagine.
beautiful state you live in.... wish I were there.
Lots of info here.... but you most likely already know that.
Lots of trees down there to hang from. I used to come all the way from Minn to do the old Georgia state fair.... many years ago.
and hello from MINNESOTA or this time of year Minnesnowta
A good place to hang for a while.....
Hiking honeymoon !!! Way cool !!! Congratulations!!
Got a dusting here in Brainerd :eek: ...and the wood pile is way too small. Lookin' good no_p55 .
Looks like a fizzle. Guess I'll wait until mid-week so I can bring the grandson along. Probably less traffic on the trail then too. Who knows...... maybe I'll run into Shug !!!! WOOOOO...
I just came from there ...ready to go back. Shorter hikes are my thing as I have health issues. Maybe the colors will be coming on stronger by then.
Lord willing..... and the crik don't rise...... count me in.
I'm already regretting not being there...... again!! OK ..... next year... fo' shore!
Been wanting to do this one for three years now..... Things just didn't work out. Looking forward to the trip reports. Have some extra fun for those of us who couldn't make it. I'll light up a...
and now (in my best Paul Harvey news voice.... for those old enough to remember him)..... The rest of the story!!!
It was friday morning and it was raining steady in Brainerd. Should I go ?? or...
count me as a "maybe." Not sure about my wifes scheduling.... (which at times dictates mine.. :-) )
even if only for one night. Even if I took the wrong trail and wandered in circles for 1 1/2 hrs. Even if the heat and ticks made it more of a challenge. The "up" side is learning new tricks...
I'll be there Friday for the short hike in and plan on hiking back out Sat. I can shuttle some that may not be up to the longer hike to point b,c.or d on Sat before I head home for an open house...
I'm in Brainerd as well. Just got back from the annual SHTA meeting up in Finland Mn. I have health issues so short distance hikes work better for me.
My feet only go so far in a day without punishing me the next. I'm hoping my schedule stays open for this one, looks good so far.
I'll have to see if I get my work done 1st though..... Are you more of a camper? ..... or hiker? My feet don't tolerate too much too fast, but maybe we can cross paths.
My understanding about heat and moisture is that "heat pushes moisture away" . It's a given that you will be giving off moisture through sweat and breathing. The question is whether you will...
It was about 1970 when I found some olive drab cargo netting and being the kind of guy that enjoys making "something from nothing", The only thing I could think to do with it was tie the ends up and...
Yes it was the improved JRB.... no private modifications.
Payment recieved.
new improved style with sewn in zippered bug net. Good as new condition. Only slept in twice (indoors) Bought it for the wife.... she still don't camp. Comes with suspension straps and tri-glide...
I have one for you. Like new, with zippered bug netting. PM sent
Glad I was able to meet everyone .... had a great time.... and "those BRATS"!!!!! PIE was fabulous as well. Hope to see you all down the trail in the future.
apparently the post was edited......
are you buying or selling?
I've been known to light one on memorable occasions. I think my 1st group hang should qualify. Your a generous man.
Thanks Fronkey. After considering your suggestions about a different parking spot, I think you can count me "in" for Fri and Sat.
Put me down as a "maybe"..... Not sure my feet will be willing to do 8 1/2 miles.... guess we'll see. Lookin forward to meeting some of you who's posts I've been reading for some time now.
Had to watch it three times..... Thank you for sharing.
Need any more newbies?? I'm new to the whole hammock campin' scene but itching for my 1st group hang. I'm self un-employed / retired and anytime works for me. Can't wait to meet all you folk...
YEP! you guys got it.
I was excited about it myself until Hangnout posted it was good for ridgeline and bugnet hammocks but then explained that without the net one could go directly to the ridgeline itself. (wow) How...
Thank you ZYHANO !! That's what I wanted to hear.... just the simple mechanics of it. .....and as time passes it all sounds more "normal" (?). Actually, what a great asset to be comfortable...
Bladder extender release nozzle??? :rolleyes: Oh yah, just above the internal disruption relief port!! ;) So.... an in the bag side shot! My loving wife (nurse) has now explained to me the...
stay in the hammock to pee .......or get out n' pee... In a HH you could pop your feet out and simply sit there and fill the bottle. In a top loader.... not so easy...(I assume) Lay on your...
Or rather, the lack there of..... I've read here that some like to avoid that frantic trip through the dark to empty the blatter in the middle of the night..... but not really explaining the...
Mine JUst arrived by UPS.... now waiting for the 2qzq zipper mods so I can string it all together.
Lately I've decided I need more relaxation and less work in my life. I'm trying to spend more time in the outdoors and figured a hammock would be the perfect way to enjoy camping.
I,ve been...
Welcome from another Mn boy .... and another HH user... or I hope to be... Expl Dlx should be comin back in the mail today from 2QZQ with a zipper mod. and my "on sale" ss just arrived by UPS.
WOOOOOO BUDDY!!! 7 pages of "welcome" and "thanks" in just one day!! Your enthusiasm and love of life are contagious. I'm still a Hammock campin' virgin.... but when I DO get out there... I...
Mine should be here by Tues evening... I'm inexperienced (not yet hung outside overnight) so the idea that the undercover could be a support system for any kind of insulation you might wanna...
