i'm there as long as i'm not working that weekend

Don't let this stop you from hitting a trail.

If your looking for just a good day hike then just south of St. Louis on I-44 there is a county park called West Tyson County Park. There is a...

:scared: I leaped before I looked. For those that are still interested I'm sorry. There seemed to not be a lot of interest or response to some of my requests as to who was interested in going.
I...

Ok...It looks like that for many reasons this hang ain't gonna happen. But I'm going to keep trying at a later date but for now it looks like it's going to spring-early summer before I try again.
I...

OK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
I need some help here!
I need to know who is going to be at the 1st Annual (hopefully more in the future) Mid-West Hang the weekend of OCT 23-25 at the beautiful Lake of...

Yes..the weekend of Oct. 23-25.

Sorry for not updating as much as I would of liked but YES! this hang out is still a go.

What I would like to see is an 'AYE' for all who are attending either through a post or PM so I can get a...

I concur...small, pretty, and pack a lot of heat. A good stove to put into a home survival box...just in case. :scared:

A buddy of mine has a Lawson and he loves it. He's a big man and he loves the spreader poles that open it up like a tent and gives his shoulders lot's of room. I'm not sure what he uses for a tarp....

YEP...hiking the big piney trail in the paddy creek wilderness just south of fort leonard wood mo. Kind of a shake down hike for some new gear i got recently. just me and the pooch

Ok...I'm game. Oklahoma...not to far from family. Plenty of room with tree's and the owner of the property an active member and poster in the forum. Great start.
You have Bulldawg offering his...

Did it fix your altitude sickness?:mellow:

Nor do I see any reason why this couldn't happen.
The "From small acorns do large oaks grow" approach is the best way to go. I want to be a part of bringing this 'idea' to fruition but I also know...

You can check out the park here. The park is right on the Lake of the Ozarks and if you check out the camping areas here you'll see that it is right on the edge of a finger of the lake. So launching...

Bears?....don't think they have made it this far north although there has been reports of a stray black bear on the southern edge of Jefferson County. I know of no advisories or problems at any Mo....

Sorry you can't make it. If things do change then your more than welcome to join us. :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.
The sound of a thread dying due to lack of time and money or just plain hutspa (including my own).
Someday...SOMEDAY! It will happen.
Someday I will be giddy with laughter...

Ok....I went through and read all of the previous thread and my first impression was Cripes! there are a lot of members of this forum with the perfect credentials and experience to get this idea of...

No I guess you are closer. Your just down the road from Fort Gibson / Muskogee. Got tons of family there. Gramps and Granny are buried there.
But alas....as totally awesome as 600 acres of old...

Your closer to me. It's our east side hangers that would have a heck of a ride to make........actually if not mistaking...your just about as long a ride for me to get to as our east side hangers!...

What would your buddy say about 10 to 30 people showing up? I don't want to be a poop but thats a lot of poop in the woods!

How many campers does anyone think that an event like this would attract?
Then think about all of the wives, friends, kids, dogs etc that would be along for the ride.
Where could we find a camp...

Well to be honest....a ten hour drive to what could be a possible annual or bi-annual event is much more appealing to me than try to stuff that drive and the camping into a weekend. I work the ole...

I'm seeing all these different hangouts going on all across the U.S. Is there or has any one had any conversation about having one big Hangers Hangaree where all of the groups get together at a...

Right now the poll is showing the later dates Oct 23-25 as being the preferred weekend by 5 out of 8 votes.

I was looking at the campground map and was looking at section 4 which is next to the water and does have trees a plenty to hang from. I have to think the only competition for camp sites we are going...

Feel free to bring your "camping buddys".

I've never had any problems either and have had the ranger at the site talking about trail conditions and other things and they never said anything. So I...

We would need at least 20 people to reserve a group site. Maybe if this was a 2nd or 3rd annual Hangout and more people were involved then a group site makes sense.

I'm also looking into a...

I've searched the rules and all I could find is that you cant use anything that screws into a tree like treestand spikes or nails for lanterns. I'm going to try and email them to see if they can give...

Slooooowly but surely a few responses are coming in but I know we can do better. Check them calendars and see if even you can squeeze in 1 day. I'm considering taking a day off from work and go down...

I need to get me one of them there sewing machines. It's amazing what you can produce on your own with an idea and a sewing machine. :D

I take my PSP to play games plus the added benefit of watching a movie or 2 especially if its raining. I tie it in pretty much the same way.

I posted an official invite in the events forum to try and generate some interest. We can explore the possibilities from there and hopefully we can make something happen. :D

Ok...so there has been some interest in putting together a meet and greet hang for all us hangers in the mid-west (everyone is invited).

When: The weekends of Oct 9-11 or 23-25 Please vote in the...

Sounds like something I could get into. Will have to see what weekend dates are considered before I can commit.

My preference would be the weekend of Oct. 9-11. Will be real close to foliage peak but whatever is most convenient for the group will work for me. I'm pretty flexible on either weekend.

So how do...

What I was thinking was maybe get together for a hang just as kind of a greet and meet at lets say Lake of the Ozarks State Park for a weekend. After Labor Day the state parks tend to get blissfully...

That sounds awesome. I've done some camping up in the R.M.National Park and got a buddy that lives in Denver. Unfortunately it will have to wait until the spring/early summer before I could do...

Take all the video's Shug has posted and throw in all the other vids that pop up on youtube when you search for hammocks, backpacking, etc and edit them all together to make some sense of continuity...

Thanks for the offer. I have a work schedule similar to a fireman's shift. 2 days on 2 days off then every other weekend off. Let me look at the calender and see what weekends are still open. ...

Been the 'girlfriend' for about 6 years now. Both previously married and neither in any hurry to take it any further. Will say one thing though, she has 'the look' down. She's a blonde...

I'm seeing a lot of activities and going ons that happen on the east/south east side of the U.S. since the AT is located there. Are there any hanger clubs or groups that are located in the middle...

I've hiked Big Piney trail several times by myself and with friends. Kinda neat when the A-10's fly over at tree top level. I generally hike in from Roby Lake and if I see horses on trail I/we...

I'm not really what you call a new hanger. I bought my first HH Expedition 2.5 from REI back in 2002 and would rotate hanging with tenting depending on the weather. I never even knew there was a...

I'm in St. Louis too. Been a while since I've had my fat a$$ up on a bike seat so goin to have to pass on that one. Doing some kind of a trip the weekend of the 12th not sure if its floating or...

I bought a Claytor JH last week and couldn't wait to get out to the back yard and put it up. It was overcast and just had that rain feel to the day. Just as I got it up and got the tarp staked out it...
