Another wonderful year in the books. Sad I could not keep the string alive but I still hold the crown of most Yeti Winter Hangs. Look forward to seeing EVERYONE next year. Maz you make this happen...

Rip Waverly and I are heading up in the morning. Hope to be on site by 1-2pm. We have an REI Clackamas stop to make for pre orders. Leaving Corvallis at 9 am.
I'm going. Missed last year and so sad about it.
Hello All. My streak of going to the Yeti hang has to end this year. 9 years was the most I've ever committed to something. On top of Covid I am doing all of the finish work on my girlfriends new...
I'm in 9th year in a row! Woo Hoo! Can't wait, but I think we should really bring back the White Elephant $20 max exchange on Saturday evening. It's an easy hike and easy bail. Don't let the...
As someone who has been to every Winter Yeti hang. Weather is variable experienced highs in 40's to lows in teens. Check Government Camp weather expect a variance in + - 3deg. Easy bail out options...
My son and I had a blast! Is it really the sixth annual hang? I've completely lost count. Who made those great bars we had last night? I would love to have the recipe. I hope to see you all again in...
For those worried about getting lost from experience. Trail at East end of parking lot, Right, Right, Left and you are on the campground road. This goes in a circle. If you take all rights you will...

Best bet bring something for the potluck that you wont mind getting wasted or completely consumed in some way. Beat bet warm food.
Ok so I'm 90% going this year. Classically north east area of campground has privided the better trees for hanging. They dont have the toilets locked, usually during this time of year so its only a...
It will be a race to see who gets there first!
I think I have arrangements for you. PM sent.
There is a frog lake traffic/ road condition camera for those wanting to see snow where we are going.
I still cant wait. I have figured out what I am bringing to cook. Just have to arrange how I will spice it. Yea looks like someone should bring their largest tarp to create a dry hang out place. :(...
Two of the three (almost typed tree there, freudian slip there) confirmed off. Getting stoked for a real Winter Hang. Will respond later with communal dinner meal. May if funds allow go big this...
I'm down to go. Will request the time off. I've got to get out.
On our way.

Yes we will leave you holding it.
Ok so I am planning on bringing my step son if he can get his but in gear and gather his stuff together he is going. I look forward to the trip and already have our white elephant presents in order....
All are welcome with or without hammocks, old or young, fun or boring, sharing or selfish, etc..... There are always people who are willing to let people try out their set-ups too as Gary said.
...
I've seen off road bikes on the lake, the trails for those things are real compact to a point. If you bring a quad you may find we might daisy chain our pulks to it. The campground itself may not be...
Planning on being there. Perhaps will even bring my son this year. I know he has been wanting to go.
Well this boy finally got a complete custom 30 degree quilt set in the titanium gray and my wife (or me when she isn't around) got a cuben fiber tarp and a 20 degree burrow! Thank you so much for...
Car camping along the coast. Get Forrest service maps and drive up one that accesses the coast you should be able to find places to make camp. As others have said on the coast is really hard to find...
Sad, Ed says to air drop the hammock.
All packed up and ready to go. White elephant gift ready to complete when I get there. Really, really excited for another great hang. Can't wait to hang out with everyone and talk about hammocks. See...
Hello All. My son Tyler discovered he has a commitment on Sunday so will not be coming to this hang. He is very disappointed that he is not going to be able to come. I will still be there however.
It is possible to live in cold weather. You also have to be a little crazy to do it. Not sure if anyone younger than Tyler or you are coming.
Tyler is coming and would love to have someone to hang out with and galavant around with. Really want you to come so I don't have to entertain him.
Ok my son is coming. Kayt has graciously said she can provide him with an uq however I need one more thing for his hanging. A tarp. If anyone has one he can borrow for the trip that would be great.
Yea what he said. Maybe just maybe Tyler my son will come too but the wife still has to ok it.
Getting ever so close. I can't wait. This if we keep the dates is going to be right in the middle of 12 days of classes followed by another 12 days of classes.
Mikayla got her UK Hammocks custom hammock. It looks nice and Mat was very nice to work with. Pics to come!
Are you going to wear shoes.
Ed (ripwaverly) and I may be in your neighborhood the weekend of the 13th. He has a warbonnet blackbird. Honestly if weight is any consideration at all dont go for any clarks they are way heavier...
A very much appreciated thank you to DaddyDaddy
im in, thanks
Thanks I will let you know. I think I might be getting everything for the hang prior. Might be looking for a spare tarp if anything for Tyler to hang under.
We are definitely bringing a sled!
Sounds like it will be me and my step son this time around. Hopefully we will have enough warmth stuff to make this happen.
FYI my daughters new hammock is on order. Its going to be dual layer, Electric Pink Exterior, black interior with some of the extra Expedition embellishments. It may make its way to the winter hang...
I slept in my fleece liner most of the time, with a very bad DIY under quilt. And in only my underwear. So it was nice and warm at night. A bit chilly in the morning but not enough to put my fleece...
Honestly with as many people as we have usually I prefer frog lake unless we want to dig a toilet ditch down into the snow and hard ground. Bathrooms are preferable with a large group to reduce the...
I hope to have my kids hanging too. Mikaylas hammock is on order with uk hammocks. It will prob make an appearance with me at the winter hang.
It's alright Ed you prob just looked like a stick in the mud.
Well it was a good one. My family and I arrived on Thursday at dusk. We didn't know what to expect and I honestly did not do much research about where the campsites where. We huffed in our stuff and...
Grrrrrrr! Running late to get out there early again!
I know I got a hold of Rachel, jealous much. Did they send you a design or anything for it? I could print something cool out.
I'm going up tomorrow afternoon I will let him know? Any idea if his plans?
Looks like the weather is going to be a bit crazy. Chance of thunder storms and precipitation.
