A buddy and I are looking to hammock camp and fish up in Vermont in November. It seems most places shut down the end of October. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Looking to car camp close to...

In am not a "knot guy". I became hooked on Shug videos when he explained the marlin spike hitch. The knot, not the toggle (in slow motion). I explained it to a friend the same way.

Sure, I'll take some pics. I've stayed there before and would rate it pretty solid for trees suitable for hammock hanging. A minor concern but all trees in the area are pine so sap on the tree straps...

I've been absent from Hammock Forums for quite awhile and figured I'd start a thread and say Hey. I've been winter Hammock camping the last few years and have really found my groove. This weekend...

I have been hammock camping for a few years now and finally bought an under quilt, a Zeppelin full length. Saturday night(4/9/2016) in NJ was a miserable rain/snow mix right around the freezing mark...

If I remember right, didn't it get down to 5 degrees on the coldest night last year? I think someone reported 3 degrees too. That night was the coldest I've taken my gear. Lets hope for colder!:D

I have reserved site 7.

Olive is a pretty name. Congratulations! if this is your first girl - little girls always steal their Daddys' hearts, be prepared for the big eyes, the blink, blink, "But Daddy..." :lol:

silvrSurfr - You funny guy!

Had a great time! I left a couple of items behind though, a camo chair and a lantern with a yellow globe. If anybody picked these items up please PM me.

Thanks!!

Nope, just wanted to do a test run to make sure I could find it. Roads are clear. Dirt road is frozen so no worries about sugar sand. I don't recall any ruts that would hang up a car. There is a...

Thanks Fishbait!

Help! I got turned around trying to find the camp. I'm looking at the Carranza memorial on my right. Did I pass it? Did I not go far enough?

Thank you!!

Fell down once, so far. I just installed whoopies and forgot the sage advice of "milk the bury". I pulled the hammock open, one leg up and started shifting my weight to lay and down I went. In front...

Welcome from NJ!

IT's kinda weird to say "cool and "bridge" together but, What a cool bridge!!:)
Enjoy that pleasant weather down there.

I like how clean this looks. Bonus - setup is quicker! Really cool Sarge!

-Bob

Good luck! Packing any extra gear? Blankets, etc. .

Welcome from New Jersey!

Barring a dam* good emergency I am a go for this event! Just squared it with work!! Looking forward to this. I'm digging the trophies, I might have to make up my special Seafood Chowder. If I do that...

Welcome to hangin' and the forum! You've come to the right place! There's a big event 25-27 Jan you might be interested in, the 6th Annual New Jersey Hang. You'll get to meet a lot of people and...

I'm gonna take a ride out there in a bit. Can't stay the night but looking forward to meeting you guys. Probably be at LF by 11:30am. Hope I'm not too early

-Bob

Ordered the same thing, same day and also got mine in today! That dutchware is super cool. Intricate, really small, looks fragile but it's titanium! Diggin it!
-Bob

I'd really like to go too and meet some fellow hammock hangers but have a prior commitment. "MOD" weekend for car club and gave my word I'd give some of the guys a hand with their modifications.

UPDATE - According to NBC10 news, 50% of the fire is contained. Roughly 1000 acres affected. Evidence points to the fire being started intentionally.

KK - that's just a bit north of Apple Pie Hil, isn't it?
-Bob

Whoa. That's WAY too close of a call. Glad to hear none of your property was damaged. I've wanted to light our pit for the past couple of weeks but conditions have been really bad. Have to wait until...

I know silver surfer and a few others were planning a trip this weekend around Batsto/Apple Pie hill and I'm sure they're aware but there's a wildfire in Chatsworth, Burlington county, NJ right now....

Keep an eye on the news. Wildfire in Chatsworth running wide open right now and have an unconfirmed report of a wildfire on Ft. Dix out on the ranges. Be careful out there!:scared:

Received my Toxaway the other day and am very happy with it. Set it up yesterday over my Hennessy and then the BIAS WW. Fit over both with plenty of room to spare. BIG TARP! Just what I was looking...

Just put my order in for a toxoway! Resistance to gear sales is futile!!
-Bob

Welcome from NJ!
-Bob

Brian and Shane - I am very happy with my purchase from you guys. The BIAS WW is great, unbelievably light and well crafted! Thank you.
-Bob

The trick is very little inflation. Enough to keep from compressing the insulation but not so much that it's stiff. Seems the mat stays under you better. I've used it twice in 25* weather and it...

Demostix - I'll tell you a quick story about "Woody". Last winter Woody crashed into our sliding glass door on a really cold day. My wife, AKA Mother Nature, ran out on the deck, scooped him up and...

Shug - You got that right! The first time I camped out on my own something was sniffing around my tent in the wee hours. I smacked the tent wall to get whatever it was away and well, who knew skunks...

Great pic Steve! Nothing better than doing stuff you enjoy with the family.

-Bob

Steve D - I forgot to mention my two younger kids were out with me last night. They were in their tents though. I will be converting them from the dark side when they're ready. They were both snug as...

I've used this method as well but never with a military issue blanket. I have a large fleece blanket that goes out with me camping in cold weather. The fleece is large enough to wrap around me and a...

My wife helped with uploading the pics and posted before I was ready so here's the rest of it. Last night got down to about 38*F. I did allright, used my Kelty lightyear 0* down bag, exped 7 downmat,...

The mailman was good to me yesterday. I received my first two hammocks but didn't have enough time to setup both so I setup the Hennessy UL backpacker asym. After watching so many youtube vids...

Hi from New Jersey!

Welcome from another New Jerseyan! (is that a word?:laugh:)

I too am just starting in with the hammock community and these are some fantastic deals! Already made a couple of purchases. Thank you Brian!
