So if you try winter hanging with a scout and throw in 2 sleeping bags, 2 blankets, and a pad, then try to get in the bottom with someone my size 5'10" 185lbs, you can have an adventure and learn how...
I had my warning out there about the cake!!
he has made his own hammock tarp and under quilt. I believe, and his boys.
Thanks Mac, that is really thoughtful of you, I would love to try that. I will admit with Iafte living so close I know that it is cheap and easy to make a hammock that is if you have skill and time...
well its not that difficult, I don't get many opportunities to hike/camp anymore now that I have little ones, so I only get to try hammocks 1 or 2 times a year and I cannot see spending a decent...
So this Spring Mahha I had the luxury of trying out the wonderful Blackbird. Those who know the story know that I tried this in the Fall Mahha but was unable to get comfortable due to a too high...
The Group shot really does have everyone that attended, minus The Dutchess, Loser and his GF Julie.

Rum Cake is cooking now, going to do the glaze topping at the camp site, will require a couple minutes of cooking on a heat source.
Dutch is kind enough to bring the BB for me, however I am always up for trying out new hammocks in my great search to find one I like.
agreed, weather matches, setup maybe in rain for late comers, cooler temps possible. Any require a certified temp/humidity check while I am there?
Question for all who is coming, my goal as some now is to try Hammocks until I find one that really like and then buy it. I have someone lending me the BB, but I am in need of a tarp to go with it. ...
Well I plan on trying a new recipe with a cake... pirate style.
Very sad not to have the Jacks in person, but they are def one of a kind. Thank you so much Jacks for your contributions!!
Well first off, welcome to the group, we all look forward to meeting you. There is a 1.5 mile hike, some of it is upwards and not totally flat to bring a hand cart. Can it be done, sure, might be a...
AMEN to that!!!
The switchback looks like the hammock for me, however I need to test one before I can buy one, then there is the issue of getting the money. Anyhow, great job with the mods.
That depends on if you survive me doing the procedure... :eek:
Switch? I was planning on doing the procedure while your pulling, a few bumps here and there will cover up, I mean fix, I mean...

If I can convince my wife that I need that weekend and do nothing else till the Fall MAHA I might be able to make this hang. I will know closer as it approaches, but I am aiming to go.
I will have a pirate's hat instead of a chef's hat. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:QTzxczDtkKARAM:http://chefarmstrong.com/images/small.jpg

I have a question to all that went to this or will attend next year. I will be bringing a meal to cook next year for our full outdoor kitchen, would people rather I bring a Italian Dish, a Scottish...
Learned a few things this trip, I am not a fan of getting into a hammock from the bottom. I am also not a fan of the Hennessy Scout as a 5'10" 192lbs Scottish Pirate cannot fit in one with winter...

Ok so my plan is to borrow a hammock, I am bringing my -10 bag, my question is what is a DD underblanket?
