I hate to miss this one guys but i'm in Houston Texas for work and I wont be back until the middle of April :( Since I can't be there y'all make sure you have an extra good time for me!!
HB's method is pretty slick, and I'm sure it works like a champ. If the have the insulbrite I would give it a shot. Primaloft is the more commonly used synthetic insulation. Good luck and sleep warm!
I would recommend a breathable rip stop nylon for the inner and a breathable rip stop with a DWR coating for your outer layer. Your Air gap idea is sound. However if not construed properly, once you...

Were going to miss y'all! I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas hammocks :)
The Cohuta is beautiful, and very remote...the jacks river trail is an awesome hike, especially in the summer with the 20+ river crossings one way. I'm going to hike a southern section middle of...
There are good tent spots as well as great trees for hanging! We had a few furry friends with us last time as well. So as long as your dog if ok around strangers and other pups it should be fine :) I...

Looks good man! I will get something added here shortly.
I posted coordinates for the parking area in the first thread we started for the last hang..I think I may have taken some for the site..but I'm not at home right now, I will check when I make it home...
Last time we were at a large group site just off the parking area. It is a great spot, lots of perfect trees and only a short walk to the site from the car.
Checking in from middle GA!
It's on my calendar! I won't know for sure until closer to time though. I will let y'all know as soon as I know.
Welcome to the forums! There is most certainly a lot of great info here, and awesome forum members to help with any questions. Welcome to the madness !
I wasn't sure what to except at a group hang... but I'm here to tell ya it was awesome! Beautiful weather, great spot to hang, gorgeous waterfall and a group of incredible hammockers! A big hats off...
The cords for the parking area should be N 34 42.570 W 83 47.352
I will pick up a bundle or two of wood for us :)
Sounds good 2ply, thanks for the recon and the info!
