Welcome from Central Alabama.

Treefrog & myself in Sipsey: trip report

Hi, all! Treefrog and I headed out for a 3 day, 2 night adventure in the Sipsey Wilderness area. We parked at Thompson trailhead and headed in to an off-trail campsite where we could set up a base...

I've crossed that log before. Correction - scooted across that log :D It's amazing how fast the water rises up there. I wouldn't be afraid to say Borden was head high last spring after the rains....

Just got back Saturday from an overnighter with the wife on trail 200, just past Fall Creek Falls.
NOTE: I noticed a few groups with campfires, and, seems I got a notice for no burn until the end...

Good report. Loved the pics. The wife & I are planning an overnighter up there this weekend. I was actually up around Fall Creek on Labor Day when the young guy came by looking for his dog. We...

We were up on the Borden Friday n Saturday. Camped on the Borden. Went up to Falls Creek Falls, over the falls out an old logging road and out to the horse trail. Wonderful!

Thanks guys for the tips. Another thing that probably didn't help was that we turned in around 7pm, which isn't my normal bedtime. I should have read or listened to my mp3 player or something until I...

Wow! What a time! A former classmate and now co-worker was my guide for my first (and hopefully not last) trip to the Sipsey Wilderness Area. I didn't know that much about it, but Tim had spent many...

Got mine Saturday on the way to a short day hike with the wife. Just grabbed it off the mailbox and carried it along. Hung it at the campsite and tried it out. The wife also tried it and now she...

Sort of OT, but any of you guys frequent here: http://www.bushcraftusa.com/index.php? A great bunch of guys there as well. I've learned alot from them as well as you guys just in the few months I've...

Just got my PP req for 1.7 dbl. Hope to get it this weekend.

Welcome from up here in Brookwood.

Welcome from down the road! I've been getting my rip-stop from Wal-Mart in Bessemer. Don't know what it is exactly, all I know is I made tarps with it. Seems to work fine. Kept me dry in the rain...

Welcome from Brookwood.

Shug: Save them broke mandolin strings! I think I may have a gitfiddle or banjer string somewhere to try for my next one. :D

Welcome from Brookwood.

It's a hollow-braid camo webbing I got from a bait store. Prolly a little heavy for what I need. Hope to start on a new tarp soon. Got some more of the $1.50/yd Wally World rip-stop just waitin to be...

Seemed like separate suspensions worked well.

Yes, I'm gonna have to redo tarp altogether if it's gonna work in bad weather.
Any suggestions?

Got out for an overnighter close to home. 32° was forecasted with freezing rain, but we didn't get the rain til after I got home. Got to tweak with my equipment anyways.

Welcome from a Brookwood noob!

Thanks for the welcome and comments, guys.

Gargoyle: aint that mount a dandy? Gonna modify a bit prolly.

Cannibal: Yeah treenester goes a ways back to when I had a Tree Lounge tree stand for...

It's 1/2 mile from trailhead to Camp A (I said B on the vid, but it's A, sorry). From Camp A it's 0.6 miles to the Old Lock 14 Site to the east. To the west is 1.1 miles to the Day use trailhead (I...

I just took a short trip this morning to a place pretty much in my own back yard (technically front yard). Rocky Branch Park here in my little hometown just opened up a trail. Not very long, but long...
