My current plans are to set aside the 19th through the 22nd of May for this trip--I expect a great time.
I will be there at Hawksbill (HB) parking area the 20th and spend the night. The next...

That is mighty fine work Ken. How long you been using those toggles?
Great video there, "Ain't no doubt" (said in a Karl Childers kinda fashion and in the same direction, the followin stuff as we'll). Ya dun ouwt deed yourself Hawk-Eye. I caint thank of any other...
For my first trip hanging in the Gorge, I am in awe. What a wonderful place to vacation.
Thanks so much for the wonderful time and your efforts for organizing really paid off for everyone...
Man that makes me wanna go back NOW!!!! Great job Jerry!
All made it safe and sound back to Mobile, Alabamy. Don't know about her, but I STINK! Will post more pics and videos soon. What a trip!!!!! Loved meeting you guys and will definitely do it again.
Will you carry my pack for me? Or as Hickery said, "Will you feeed meee?"
My pack is all loaded! I am ready to get to the Big Ole Ditch!
My pack weighs in at 32 lbs with water, fuel and food. That, I am not too happy about....but it is for 5-6 days of food anyway...
That is SUPER NICE of you! I am in your debt! WOW! Sent you a PM.
My WBBB is really nice but this winter hangin will be much better without a "sky purana" net. :)
Thanks Million!!!!
I would love to have a simple hammock (no bug netting, gathered-end type) to lay on the diagonal easily. I just can't see investing in a sewing machine (lost in hurricaine Katrina) for just a...

I moved every 2-3 years since I was 2 years old except for one 5 year stint. It stinks to unpack!!!!!
You have done a great job coordinating all this and kept us updated along the way too. I have GPS info and should have no problem getting to base camp. Guess I will show up there and find ya, or...
Glad you scaped by there! Isn't it funny how each of us got into hammocking? I started out just trying to get a stove (light-weight) to heat up some coffee, purify water at Tinny's Youtube site and...
What is a good trip without some chilling nights, rain, high humidity--a great wet cold? Nothin! Bring it on, Bring it on, "Did I say bring it enuff ya'll?" :) I happen to agree with the Ole...

Base weight (no fuel, no water, no food) 13.5 lbs
Yea baby!!!
Come along way from a 45 lb pack with...
Given the latest trend, I would estimate low 30s at times and high of mid 70's. Here in Mobile, AL, we have seen very lows cp to the usual temps we see. For instance, over the last 5 years in...
Got a phone call today from JRB after I gave them an old PayPal address to ship to. My mistake. They called me and said that they would send the items I wanted and didn't want me to pay for an...
Any day above ground--well us usually a better one! Welcome to the forum!!!
Remember that you enter in the bottom--THROUGH YOUR PAD (if you have one).....etc and you will have a direction to head. Lovers of all camps out there love their stuff for reasons particular to...
Welcome aboard! Great place to get a ton of great information! You will fit in greatly. Whooooo!
Great to have you! Take a look around and get what-ya-know-ya-gonna-need not want and save the money for the loans! :)
Glad to have you!!!!
Welcome to the forum! Glad to have you. I am pretty new myself and I will say that this is the place to get some great info and some great folks too....
I thought we might start an "x area" place to store info people could go to for info---ie this one thread without detailed minutia (dates, teasers?, etc...) Include a "Hiking Site" area on the forum...
I hope this is ok. I surfed through this post and gathered some really important info. While I was going to send this to friends/family to have in case of an emergency and for general purposes, I...

Well, believe it or not, I finally received my tarp this week! Sorry I haven't been more active here on this thread but since I had not received all my gear there seemed to be no point. I should...
As work would have it, I will not be in the Gorge till the 28th of Oct, along with Starrione, who is hitching a ride. Let me know where we can meet on that day, when you get a chance. Thanky!
I was looking into the Gorge info on the web and clicked the above one and got a resume instead. What is the URL?
Edit; Link corrected.
I will be at the Gorge the 27th of Oct through the 1st and head out 2 Nov. Please count me in!!!!
Having traveled Europe many years, I know what you mean by trying to figure out temps and insulation. Hope you will not be offended, but how are you traveling (bike, walking, by air)? Many...
Hey all!
I was wondering where to place this post but this seems to be the best spot.
I was hoping we could create a network of sorts for various situations based upon our locale that we might...
I looked through my posts and didn't see any into that I posted? Might-of missed something? Anywho...so here goes....
I have always enjoyed being outside--except when air is over-humid and feels...
Sounds great. I know I could use a map of the area! I have an ideeaaa that folks might like to have them as well, that wanna go. Shoot me a PM and we can trade, me have a song to sell. LOL
Will figure the date etc...when I get my packages. Maybe St Stephens in AL instead of so much northern. I am not for sure. When I get my gear will have to test and setup numerous times and get it...
I am so excited and depressed. I ordered my WBBB about 8 days ago and no bird in sight. I watch night and day for even a light whisper of hope. Not yet :(
kts
Seems to bet the general gist in every WalMart these days. :(
I also ordered one from Brandon about 10 days ago. Hope it will be here soon. Also ordered a Big Mamajamba and a Crow's Nest. Getting the stuff together for a great time in the woods
KTS
Wound up with a Big Mamajamba. Sweet!!!!
Nice response! I am waiting for my WBBB, Crows Nest, Tarp and what-nots. I am hoping to head out to Cheaha? I haven't been so, I don't know if they allow overnight camping. Will contact them,...
