FIMB, you're in for a treat. When I said it is a picture postcard, I really wasn't doing it justice. I can't wait to get back up there.

RR, did you bring plenty of energy drink?

Bring your camera! There is 360 degrees of eye candy like I have never seen before. You will not be disappointed. The scenery is incredible. Make sure you bring eye cover (sunglasses or goggles)....

I thought wisenber preferred sheet metal screws in his boots?

I assume there were plenty of Alabama hammers laying around to drive tarp stakes into the frozen ground. Looks like the wind gets a little nasty when it wants to.

Can someone provide a link to last years 2013 RHK hang? The only one I could find was 2012.

If Johnny Knoxville is still on the governing board then the allowable use of "walkers" has already been written into the rule book. Glad Hickery is staying on top of this.

I did a test hand last night in my back yard at around to 1:00 am. It was 7*F when I went outside. On my bottoms, I had on two pair of long johns, hiking pants with rain pants as a vapor barrier,...

Didn't think about the stratolounger. How big is your pack anyway?



Sorry..disregard that last question. The late hour causes my mind to wander sometimes

Well hot diggity! Depending on how much charcoal you bring, I'll just ditch the canister stove, and bring the alcohol stove w/fuel for hot drinks and bring a few Italian sausages to throw on the...

I'm having trouble deciding between bringing my alcohol stove or my isobutane/propane canister stove. If I keep the canister warm I think it should perform better if it's windy but it is much...

Make it happen nickgann. Be fully prepared for single digit cold and expect a lot of wind the first night on RHK. This is going to be fun and one to remember with the group we have going.

They look long enough to strap a large blade to the outside...and an extra flask.

Just went to the Wiggys site. Nice looking pack boot.

Sorry your neoprene boots didn't work out, but I am grateful that we won't have to endure any stink foot in the SUV on the way back to town.:laugh:

Your photography skills and the quality of the videos you share with us goes beyond incredible. I'd like to go with you some day to watch you do these time lapse videos. Really cool what you got...

And morning fireballs:laugh:

High winds blowing in the right direction, then we could conceivably parasail up the mountain with our tarps. Just a thought...


Just got email confirmation my Spindrift Sock for my WB...

Spam I can hook you up with some really good microspikes. PM me if interested.

Jeremy, the safety of every person going is priority #1. There is no deviation from that! If someone gets sick from hypothermia, you can darn well bet the entire group will rally around that person...

Well that's good to hear HNO. I've jumped on the Navigator train and also have some FF down booties. I've got chemical warmers to use just in case, but I really planned on using them to thaw out my...

HNO , from looking at MMs pic, it doesn't look like you were wearing any overboots. Would this have made a difference?

Were there any cold hand or feet problems or issues from last years RHK outing?

That's some nice looking footwear FIMB. What the temp rating on those?

ball a clacker? ballly claver? balac calava? bala clavanger? bacala clavaca? E I E I O!

Now see what you dun did MMM, opps MM...I'll never be able to pronounce it correctly. Who cares? Its a dag...

...well heck. I was expecting a drum circle around a bon fire when we get there. I already had my two pieces of hardwood picked out. Wishful thinking

That's a great idea MedicineMan. I think a split hardwood log or two per person should be doable and would make for a needed fire Friday evening. I'm in on that one.

MedicineMan...Hiking, hanging, and cutin up around the campfire with you guys is an insane amount of fun. I loved every minute of the Big South Fork adventure and would do another hang with the group...
