I'll be on the road in about 1 hour and 45 minutes... that way I can arrive 10 minutes early :lol:

Glad you'll make it! Yes, it should be warm enough out there. Believe it or not but we had almost the exact same temps last year. Actually, I think on the Friday hike out we had lower 90's....

You are going to make me a vicodini? Thanks man! :lol:

I added you to the attendee list and put you in for two packs of thick cut bacon for the mountainman breakfast. Is that ok with you?



I think we're covered on the food front and I think we'll...

When you arrive, if there isn't anywhere left to park you can follow the road to the right (continue on Rucks Dairy road) and there is an open field to the right (but before you actually get to the...

I'm on the sidelines with a light duty chit too :) I did a bit too much at work yesterday and now my back is tweaking again so I'm muscle relaxing and heating padding :lol:

Get better... and...

Ok, here is the latest list... anyone else? My back is much better but still too tweaked to hang around for an entire weekend out in the woods (which normally hurts my back anyway). I'll hike in on...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't know... I'll try to get on his level, but I'm not so sure (he's a pro)... :)

I'm in!! My back is still tweaked enough that I won't stay the entire time but I plan on hiking in and out a lot (good for my back). I'll hike in and visit a bit with the first group at 11 on...

So far the weather looks similar to last year...

...

Well nertz! I know you'll make it down here one of these days. I don't know if it helps you to have the dates way ahead of time but there are two hangs down here that I plan on doing at the same...

Not too bad, but unfortunately we got 3/4" of rain yesterday. That might (possibly but not sure) result in a small hatch that would be up and rolling for our weekend. We'll see... bring some bug...

Weed need 1-2 packages of frozen thick cut bacon since engine can't make it

Also, since it's not likely that I'm going to stay and can't carry it in anyway I won't be bringing my DO (maybe I'll...

It's not this weekend. It is next weekend (not sure if that was the one you were talking about).

February 22-24

so it has to be true, right? :)

Yup, since I'm a full timer I won't get any extra benefit in the woods but my non-hammock time in the woods will be the hard part on my back. I knew I was in trouble on Sunday when my back started...

Ok folks, we still have some time before the big weekend but I'm currently on injured reserve. My back is fubar to the point that standing up in the morning takes a minute or two. Obviously that...

engine - one package of thick cut bacon (frozen)

Great white - Put me on...

Yes, I'm pretty sure that cooking with a wood fire is fine too but a Coleman stove shouldn't be a problem even during the deepest of a burn ban around here (and we aren't there for another 2-3 months)

Houston, we may have a problem...

Polk Officials Issue Burn Ban

Usually cooking fires are still allowed (at least for a while). I will find out on Monday what this will mean for the "Sherpa...

Yeah, I keep telling myself that I'll do that and even have a bottle of the Sawyer's premixed to try. But in order to keep myself totally safe from chiggers I would have a lot of clothes I would...

Oooooo! Oooooo! Pick me! Pick me! (anything I can bring to help out with the fixins?) :)

Should I be the one to tell him that you don't have to do nail polish or nail polish remover? I could tell him that the key is to bathe and scrub the area with soap, washcloth, and hot water as soon...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll let olddog tell you what you would need to bring for one of the big dutch ovens. He's the expert... MAD777 is the other expert.

Firewood? Screw that, I'm going to slip my Dutch oven into his pack :lol:

Cobbler fixins x2 (we'll have to get olddog to tell us what needs to be brought for this)

I'm glad you can make it! This is sort of like a mini FL Hang but with less conveniences and more in the woods. and less organized activities... and you have to hike 2 miles to get to it. But other...

Glad you can make it!

Items we still need:

One package sausage (1/2 pack per MM breakfast)
4 dozen eggs (really? )
4 packages cheese
1 package of tortillas for the MM breakfast

Ok, calling all sherpas! It's time to get some planning started and since it sounds like more and more people are coming we'll need to get some ballpark numbers started soon. So, please list if you...

We'll save a spot for you :)

There will be at least one smaller trip closer to you (3rd annual FL Hike-n-Hang) and maybe another one or two out here (nothing planned... but I like to get out into...
