Don't forget Lake Maria State Park....Backpacker sites look nice...not a lot of solitude but it's real close to home!

Here is a color chart for mixing your own Sugru colors. More ideas on their website.
Nice job! How's the 11 footer? Been wanting to make one of those in the extra wide fabric...
Nice job! The best piece of gear is the one between your ears!
Arrowhead Equipment has half and full sheet for sale.....Gossamer Gear also sells pad but full sheets....
Welcome from just west of you! Lake Maria State Park is a backpacking park that is real close by. Have been meaning to try it out myself. I have used my hammock on about 7 backpacking trips and will...
That is so cool! I was looking and that brand of machine on craigslist....$$$$$$$$$$
Yes hot dish.....never say casserole....always hot dish!
Do the zero degree and just wear less clothes to bed! :)
Sean said that Shug is his backwoods alter ego.....maybe "Maple King" is Kents Minnesota backwoods alter ego! He is Hickery down south but up here he's THE MAPLE KING! ALL HAIL THE MAPLE KING!!!
Looks like a nice spot! Love those BWCA hang spots. Being outside of a tent is just something you get used to. Love the sound of water against the rocks....can mess with your head tho!
Gresh with the "Duck Tales" reference! NICE!......that being said.....I love my Superfly!
Ear plugs give me a headache! Distance and Advil PM help me!
Nice job! Looks good! Would like to try a DIY bridge myself someday!
Nice trip report! Beautiful area up there. I have camped around that area myself! Used Rockwood Outfitter too....Very nice people!
TominMN wants me to go to rehab, I said no no no!
Amy Winehouse reference.
gfortune......we could be friends!
What's wrong with being a gram weenie?
Agree with wolf8895 except on the stronger part...they are lighter and smaller then leaf bags or contractor bags so they fit in your pack a little better. I have used contractor bags in my "Duluth"...
I got my compactor bags at the walmarts!
I don't use compression sack but I do use the stuff sack that came with my top quilt and under quilt. I use a white (makes it easier to see into) trash compactor bag. I put the quilts, hammock, and...
Very nice trip report and pictures! Thanks for sharing!
I create a V and have the hammock suspension in the V. I just use a length of line on each end of the tarp and use knots, no hardware. I like to keep it simple and keep the weight down.
I'm headed out tomorrow too and concerned about the fog and dew.....not going to stop me from going though. :laugh:
You may feel cold because the under quilt isn't tight up against your bottom. You may have to really fiddle with it to get it right up against you. I'm not sure about question 1 but as far as...
Looks nice! I agree on the 72". My next DIY will be wider!
I have a Greylock3 and a DIY gathered end...I have the same issue but it doesn't seem to bother me that much. I have installed the homemade prusiks to keep the quilt from sliding down the suspension...
Nice videos Shug! Always enjoy! Where are you and Kent going? (not a stalker...don't need specifics) I'm goin up to the SHT this weekend then Angleworm trail weekend after that. Need to check out...
Sweet list of homemade gear geneaut! I would love to see some pics and instructions for the Tyvek wallet!
Made my hammock in green cause Shug's was green. RIP Greenbean!
There are no stupid questions! If you can't find a big rock use a bunch of small rocks. Or use a longer guy line and tie to a small bush or shrub!
I love mine too! Great under quilt with prusiks installed.
Great Video! Nice music too! My trip starts one week from today and I'm going through that same section. I think I'll miss some of the colors but it will still be great! Thanks Again!
Nice vid! Love the ready position!
If Shug and Fronkey are together for any amount of time.......I want Video footage!!!!!! :)
Third on the back flip, that was great. Great series WM just great!!! I love the shot of New York. Not much of a big (giant) city guy but I went there last year and it was awesome. The great thing...
Where could I go to test drive hammocks??? Well I don't live that far away from SHUG!!! He has lots of hammocks!! Maybe he will invite me to the "Nut Hut" to try out hammocks! I guessing that the...
I'm a side sleeper as well and have wondered what hammock is best for us. I'm guessing a flat lay style bridge hammock. Any thoughts on that part of his question.
I joined this here forum because of Shug! I don't own a hammlock yet but I will be getting one soon for a hiking trip I'm planning for next fall on the SHT. I watch all his vids so many times I start...
