Thoughts?

I had designed similar ideas but never got to fabrication stage. Perfect for car campers...

Really sorry to have missed the Summer Hang... :( My Jeep blew a torque converter and rear main engine seal, so I couldn't get into the hills. Plus I spent a week in Florida and got a piece of...

Put me down as confirmed, although I haven't reserved a campsite or anything yet...

I'm in for this one - and am subscribed to this thread. Looking forward to meeting everyone and learning more about my setup.

Taco -

Welcome from Colorado! :)

Spent some time in the Ringstaed area. Beautiful country, beautiful people!

Good suggestions by Food - also, check out REI store on Wadsworth Ave.... not too far from Golden, in Lakewood/Englewood area.

Cannibal -

Seg. 1 is still closed 'til early next year - the alternate is open though... I'm gonna go with Bob and see what we can see... I have a weight loss goal, and a goal to do the trail by...

OutandBack -

Will give you a call this weekend sometime to pull this together. I'm headed up for a day trip tomorrow - Sat. Oct 1. to scout out some campin' spots and 4x4 trails with some...

Jim - looks great!

Humidity down finally? Bugs?

How about the Fall version of this trip?

You've got me inspired and I went to the library and got a book on the CT.

I need to get out of the city soon!

Subscribing to this thread too... I should have all my gear (and my act) together before then! :rolleyes:

Looking forward to completing some segments of the CT soon!

I'm 6'3" and 380lbs. (gulp) and I went with the ENO DN. VERY comfortable lay, and priced right - @ $50 on eBay.

I'm also wide torso, long legs... and I lay quite nicely in the DN.

I think most...

DanaMac,

I am going to contact you about coming down for a short visit soon... Would like to get fitted for a pack - and see all of the goodies! :)

Thanks Brian - YouTube embed just wouldn't work for me...????

Well I finally got my whoopee suspension on my ENO DN - thanks to OutandBack here at the forums! I was pretty scared that something was gonna fail - I made my own tree straps out of 2" Polypro...

Dave,

I'm almost in the same stage as you - still haven't overnighted... similar rig - so yes, let's get together and do a lunch hang soon - as Bob suggests.

We're both in Littleton, but there...

Hey Cannibal...

what did the one cannibal say to the other after eating a couple of clowns?


"does this taste funny to you?"

Welcome to another Colorado Hanger!

:shades:

guys.... I just left Mid-MO last winter, or I'd go...

MrClean - I saw you mentioned SPADfest and Oshkosh (B'gosh)... are you a WWI enthusiast? Gathering of Eagles? Don Stark's Dawn Patrol?
...

I may be headed there tomorrow!

Kelty car tarp... Brunton map measure? hmmm....

Should be a sticky! These are great illustrations.:shades:

Charlie,

Thanks for mentioning these packs!

I gotta look into getting one!

4 years as a pack mule for the US Army... I know all about carrying heavy loads! :scared:

Oh, and I got some Amsteel arriving that should be in the PO Box tomorrow - so I'll coordinate with ya and drop it off to ya! :)

Just have to be careful about how you describe a hammock forum visitor... can't exactly tell your wife that you're having a friend over to make whoopie(s) lol.

Hey there!

Kinda like we discussed a little bit - I'm going to try hanging at least one end from my Jeep roof rack and see how it does... I like your thinking about using climbing nuts/friends for...

...for guiding me through making my own whoopies!

And for being a wonderful host and making me feel welcome here at HF.

:rolleyes:

Welcome Dave,

From another Mile Hi (+) Hanger in Littleton, just down the road from OutandBack. :D

Also using ENO DN with whoopies and straps.

Hope to find you soon at a Colorado Hang!...

Looking at doing something similar myself, so I'm staying tuned to this thread. Please post pictures if you can!

trailryder42 -

That's some good geetar pickin' there - John Denver would approve! :)

I think I recognize some Koa wood on that beauty... what kind of guitar is that? I have an Alvarez Yairi...

Welcome Kelly/Tex!

Lots of great resources here - have you watched Shug's videos yet?

Chuck Norris doesn't use any kind of suspension. A couple quick roundhouse kicks and Gravity is so scared of Chuck that it leaves him alone. He defies it and hangs suspended in mid-air.

Ok campers... stay tuned...

I just got my ENO DN, about to buy the whoopie/dutch combo.

I weigh in @ 365lbs. :scared:

If I don't fall, then you won't. (kinda feel like Sasquatch...

Gonna bookmark this thread as I have just ordered my ENO DoubleNest last night. Looking forward to modifying it/adding to it. Great ideas here! :)

Cool Jim!

I may have to place an order and tell them you sent me!

Great pics Jim!

Did a little trip down around Steelville earlier this summer, but no overnights. Only dumped the canoe 3 times! :scared::rolleyes:

Still haven't got my hammock done, but I'll...

Quick shout-out to Smokebait - from right down the river from you in Jeff City... I'm just getting started here, but I think I'll be ordering me some "whoopie" soon!

Starting out with an ENO...

Ok big guys... I'm the highest bidder on a ENO DOUBLE NEST HAMMOCK... I will probably modify the suspension, try it out and report back.

Any bigger guys using whoopie slings?

I will most...

Another newbie - also in Missouri. Where in MO are ya?

Found the forums first - but then found brother Shug. LMFAO after watching his video series on YouTube. I like dem fried potaters...uh...

Thanks everyone! I have found lots of info already!

Shug and RamblinRev... I have especially loved your video series, and am plowing my way through all your great info. Thanks for the laughs...
