This picture is as comical to me as the first year pic of Flackfizer demonstrating the "Florida" pulk. I can't help but smile every time I look at it.

Now, stop playing with your new toy and post...

No, more the size of an ID badge name tag. 2 1/2 x 4 or so.

These are a bit heavier laminate than last year. I think they could be re-used as luggage tags. That's what I plan to use mine for.:)

Below is a tentative schedule. As always there is no requirement to attend any event. This is for information only and is subject to change. I will post a copy of the most current information in the...

Being a 'pound weenie' you are used to multi-purposing your gear. I say make them be your Personal Weather Alert Notification System. They would be the first to know after all.:lol::lol:

Other...

Dang it Cary! I was drinking something when I read that. Have to clean the keyboard now.:lol:

By Saturday evening the gate might be closed, but shouldn't be locked. If the gate is closed once you open it and pass through, please close it (but don't lock it) back.

Keep in mind that sending a donation and buying raffle tickets counts as a contribution too!

Yumm..I'll be paddling close to you!:lol:

I'm only planning lunches on our paddle days, and that will probably just be string cheese, apples, summer sausage and crackers.

I wouldn't worry about it. I think we have the DO's covered. I made up packages for batches for 6 cobblers, 3 cornbreads, 6 MM breakfasts, biscuits and beignets. If you feel the need to cook...

lol..I feel your pain.:lol::lol:


Timberrr and I decided to invest in a tow package for the jeep and ended up buying a hitch mounted cargo carrier. With 3 yaks on the roof and the back end loaded...

Well the details are falling into place,

The wood delivery is scheduled.

Measures have been taken to assure we can still gather in the common area, regardless of weather.

Hiking trips have...

December 29 the temp dropped to 32 at Alexander Springs when we camped there for New Years. It did warm up quickly behind that front though.

I'm planning on teaching a cobra stitch for the survival bracelets. If someone else knows a different stitch, I welcome the chance to learn something new!

Good question Sparkfly88. Consider this my public service announcement on the issue.;)

I would ask that if you don't have a reason to camp near the common area that you make room for those who...

Depends, it's a dog friendly place for friendly dogs. There will be other dogs there. If your dog does not get on well with other dogs or kids, it might not be the best choice to bring it along.
...

Those of you with kids can PM me their names (or nicknames) and I will make a name tag for them too.

One ENO DN added to the packing list...check! I'll pack her a one link system minus susupension, unless you wanna use mule tape and whoopies. I don't have an extra pair of tree straps.

Awesome job as always Cary! Thank you!

Awesome picture Cary. Thank you.

I can bring a spare ENO DN if she want's to give it a try. I only have reflectix for insulation in it though, no UQ.

Timberrr and I are in!

I can bring the extra SOT for you. There is nothing more stable than that if you wanna brave Juniper Springs again Islander.:lol:

1) Buck Lake can seem hard to find, look for the HF Logo to help guide you. If you really need it, PM Timberrr or me and we will give you our cell numbers. Texting is the best way to communicate.
...

Sorry you can't make it. Perhaps we will see each other next year!

Unfortunately there are no shortcuts or links for planning other than the two threads. I feel for you 38 pages is a lot to read (and that's only one of the two threads).

I would suggest a paypal...

Well, because I acquired permission from Hammock Forums to use and modify their logo (into a name tag) last year, I don't know how they would feel about me putting it out there for use without...

The template was just the HF Forum logo with your name written in the sun. I used a font that looked like logs is all for the writing. What made them special, and not doable this year is that I also...

Those of you who have your name tags from last year should bring them. As much as I would like to, I'm not doing that again this year.

I'll bring sticky name tags and a marker this year.

Yeah...you'll leave spoiled. We only go this all out once a year.:lol:

Olddog, you forgot largest!

And I will be making MM breakfast but am planning on eating your cheesy bacon grits one morning..save me some!

He might win a hammock in the raffle. I think there are 5 all together in there this year.:scared:

Seriously, come..meet folks..ask questions...have fun..and do KP if I ask you to..:lol::lol:JK
...

At this point there is enough food planned to feed everyone on Friday and Saturday Evening for sure.

A total of 40lbs of pork (I'll bring buns) plus a turkey on Friday evening.

Saturday...

3rd Annual Florida Hang Raffle Rules....

Must be present to play or trust the person you sent money with to act for you.

Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. You may purchase tickets from...

Does anyone know if the official HF sign is being hand carried down or shipped?

It would be a shame not to have it for the group photo this year.

It's in two weeks. The Annual Florida Hang is always MLK weekend.

I'll get back to you soon. I need to get a post together about parking and unloading zones etc.

Shannan will you make sure to grab a map for Running Feather? He PM'd me looking for one and will not be arriving before the ranger station closes for the night.

Maybe add this class to the activities page someone? The spreadsheets are fully editable you know.;)

Just did a quick head count on the attendance spreadsheet..counting guests 113..WoW!!!:eek:

Amazing!

Now Cakes, you know you will forever be legendary after the trials of getting to FH1!:scared:

So glad you come back every year. Can't wait to see you!

It looks like there is only propane boil/turkey frying pot (thanks Olddog) listed in the supplies section so far.

If there is going to be Low Country Boil and gumbo, we are going to need at least...

Awesome! So glad you will be able to join us! I'm looking forward to meeting you both.

All are welcome, but please take a moment to sign up on the attendance spreadsheet. A link to the spreadsheets can be found in my sig!

We use the spreadsheets to make sure everyone gets their...

Awesome! Glad you are going to make it.

Just two weeks from tomorrow I'll be heading out. I am really looking forward to going again even though we just got back from a New Years trip where the...

Perhaps we could ask the rangers about being allowed to shower in Alexander Springs or either Juniper Springs? I remember when I went to Juniper Springs to shower with 4 in the car they allowed me...

The toilets are vault toilets not flush toilets, but they seem well maintained.

For a shower you can make a run to nearby Alexander springs 9 (6 miles away) or Juniper Springs (12 or so Miles...

Patches have arrived! They are as awesome as always.

Islander rocks!

Enough food has never been an issue. I've found that fellow hangers have always been generous and willing to share.

I do want to minimize waste though. Last year I made waaay too much taco soup. I...
