    My vote would be four sleeves rather than 8 half sleeves…quicker set up! Besides, if you make the sleeves fit somewhat loosely anyway (easier to slide on and off) and you use light weight material...

    The sleeves have never snagged on the telescoping connections. That’s probably one advantage to making them fit fairly loosely.

    I just used some remnant material I had on hand—Hexon 1.6, I believe. Making snake skins was super quick and simple. I don’t have any elastic in them, but did thread cord through a channel on each...

    Sure was great seeing everyone again and getting to meet Anioutdoors and Ginger! The pup and I (and my niece!) had a great time, even though we didn’t make it all the way to the top. I hate it that...

    I’ll be coming up from Southwest MO (about 4 hrs away) after work on Friday as long as the roads aren’t bad. My niece will be coming from St. Louis. Turns out I will have to have the 9 week old pup...

    Thank you Joe! That’s really kind of you! I should be able to handle my gear, though, since I won’t have a 14 pound puppy to carry, too. I do have a question, though…I’m assuming we will need to...

    Change of plans. Don’t have to bring the puppy after all and my 18 year old niece will be meeting me there. Guess I lost my excuse not to do the full trail! This means Rem (the old German shepherd)...

    Actually, the weekend of January 13th looks most doable for me, if that weekend would work out after all for Bmello and everyone else. But no worries here if we do it one of the later two weekends!...

    I definitely could not do January 6th either. Don’t know if I’ll be able to make it at all this year but will try. I’ve missed the past two years so I need to get back into the tradition! I think...
