Thanks to Donna for making some nylon bags for me - made for supporting my ham antenna on the beach!
Excellent craftsmanship!!

Mine actually arrived surprisingly fast - I ordered it on the Saturday it was posted, and it arrived Tuesday...I was pretty impressed on shipping speed.
I just noticed your call sign/user name as well - AK4BM on this end!
One of my friends is on the ZL9HR DX pedidition, and I will be operating as C6AGT at the end of the month from the Bahamas -...
I ordered one - arrived today.....currently making Whoopie Slings :)
Comes with a piece of spectra looking cord to gather the ends, and an S-hook....it made it 1-minute out of the box before it...
Just to add my two cents....I love my tarp Brian made me a few years ago.
I emailed him about some custom work (non hammock related) three times....twice directly, once through the website....no...
Was that RRG in KY? I live just a few hours from there, but I haven't been there in many years.
Wish I had seen this earlier!! I'm only about an hour or so from Mammoth Cave!!
I like mine!! Kept me dry during a full day and night of rain!
Agreed - Hot Springs is a great area!! Go Bat!!!
Looks like I'm headed to Alabama for work - I won't be able to make it :(
Got my Amsteel - thanks Opie!!!
I'm on 'vacation' for the rest of the week - I'm spending the night in my hammock outside tonight!
I'll be swaying in the breeze, listening to Shug and friends pickin' bluegrass on my Iphone!!
...
Smalls - problem is, my 10 year anniversary is on the 19th....so the XYL (also a ham) wouldn't me so happy about my attending that event.

Whoooo Buddy - Apparently I was in the first group! My wife called saying we had gotten a shipping notification!
I wish I were going to Dayton! I am planning to hang in two weeks and operate portable.
The city I live in has a park at the highest point in the county, which has campgrounds at it. A group of...
I just got one very similar - mine has pull outs on the sides....I was hoping to try it out tonight, but the trip got canceled....
Looks like I'll be putting the new tarp to the test tomorrow night - 80% chance of rain until midnight, 60% chance of rain/snow mix after midnight.....temps in the low 30's.
Here is what I use: http://www.hudsontrail.com/viewItem/9/80/10003
Available at any climbing store....1.5mm accessory line.
I did the same with mine - what a difference it makes! Credit goes to Shug on that one!
Nice offer Smalls! I am headed out to buy some of that today - for both purposes!

AK4BM
Yeah, it arrived today! I got it hung in the basement....its amazingly silky!
I was hoping to have my hands on my tarp today, but the mail lady wasn't nice enough to leave it in the mailbox today....maybe tomorrow.
rjcress - the bag and Petzl hangers went out today, you should see them in a few days.
Love this section on the AT!! My wife and I did it a few years ago. We got dropped off by the local outfitter at the base of Max Patch and hiked back to the truck three days later.
I used another lightweight pillow for a little while:
Take one kids floatie - there will be a sealed seam on one side, cut it. Blow it up and you have a pillow that deflates, and weighs next to...
I got my shipping notice from Brian this morning! Just in time for a wet weekend hang!!
The 4-season tarp with full doors and extra side panel pull-outs should keep me dry on our trip.
We...
Its Yours RjCress - PM me your address and I'll get it in the mail!
1. The item offered below is free and I will pay shipping.
2. You must also "Pay it Forward" by posting something free (must be worth the cost of shipping).
3. Your "Pay it Forward" offer must come...
Scooter, lets keep that one in Kentucky - I'll take it!
Good Luck Bat!!
I know there was a $1 headlamp deal, I even picked up a few...
But here is another headlamp deal I saw today:

Wow it took forever to get there! Glad it works - I have more of the climbing anchors if you need them - they are used as anchors for sport climbing (a type of rock climbing).
You could also look at the 4-season tarp - a little larger, but has purpose built doors. If you talk to Brian, he can leave some extra fabric to make sure the doors close all the way.
(BTW, I'll...
I also emailed him last week and got a prompt response about the tarp I ordered (I asked about doing some custom work). I haven't heard anything since then. I emailed him yesterday afternoon and...
I have watched the Holiday video a dozen times....it always makes me smile.
The other videos are very informative, and have empowered a lot of people with a lot of knowledge. In fact, I ordered...
Okay - I'll let it go to someone who needs it then!
Scooter - is that a full balaclava? If so, I'll take it.
Too bad I just ordered one - and I'll be in Indy in a few weeks!
Well I wasn't sure if I wanted to use the small cord (again, locally available, and cheaper) for a continuous ridge line...I hadn't thought about stringing the tarp below the line though - good idea....
I bet all of this PIF shipping is helping the economy out!!
Lol Wrangler - you know most folks won't get that joke.....
Shouldn't need any kind of modification, except maybe the top cover.
I'm working on getting some triptease, but in th mean time, I have locally available some small cord found in the climbing department - I want to say its 1.5mm or something close.
I know it holds...
I have the same user name on geocaching.com as well....
That is pretty sweet!
Wooo Hoo - I finally ordered mine as well - 4-season tarp with extra pull outs in the center of the tarp sides!!
Can't wait to use it at the end of the month!!
Fuzzie - PM me your address and I will get it out as soon as I can....glad I can help a Scout.
If no one wants my PIF, I can change it.....
Here is my PIF:

The bag is handy - has two water bottle holders, one large pocket, several small, and some on the hip belt. The...
