I should be able to make this

try wild river state park, that is pretty close to you.
they have horse and people only trails, fyi some horses tend to think backpack turns you into a hunchback...

have fun on your outing, I spent most of my time there on horseback, so don't have any helpful feedback. It is a fun place to go and should provide what you need.

good info there
hydration is a huge factor in staying warm

how much snow is there? enough for skis?

thanks i did watch the videos from that hang and it was very helpful.

I have made a tyvek tarp with 1/2 foam sandwiched inside to hang on my hammock ridgeline, this helps greatly. It makes the air...

wow tuff weekend! what would you guys change to be more comfortable and warm?
I am finding that wind is a huge factor in staying warm while in the hammock, something i didn't notice much when tent...

Glad your ok, just get out and do some walking with or without a small pack.
it won't take long to improve your stamina, just be consistant.

i will bring bacon, unless nobody likes bacon:scared:

No Beans in the stew, or none will survive:scared:

Wind is a multiplier when it comes outdoor activities, it will find your weakest link.
I use tyvek under my pads and drape it over the hammock/under the tarp to keep the wind out.

I like small campfires, not the towering infernos. and small ones to cook on.
I also use wood to heat my home, so get to start a fire almost everyday, satisfies my pyro tendencies.

thanks, i will try this next time.

I wish i had read this last nite, :eek:
side zip model, with the hood i didn't tie closed, so air could still drift in some, I think i need to wear a jacket with this system as intended.
I went out...

military sleep system- 2 mummy...

do you use chisels or knives to carve? and what is the preferred wood?
edit to add
i found your previous post...

Hey all,
Looks like i have my sleeping gear figured out, with some DIY quilts, so count me in also.

I slept in my military modular last nite at 10degrees no wind, to test it for possible frozen butt hang.
no UQ, no tarp just a emergency blanket between the wbbb 1.1 dbl layers.
i was wearing...

thanks everyone for all the ideas, the plan for now is a overnighter in uwharrie then a long weekend at linville gorge....probably uwharrie next week sometime.
i will report back

Not thru hiking, as i will need to get back to the car and only have weekend.

would like to park the car and hike in to a site less than 5 miles, could go on to another site or not and just hike...

Linville gorge looked good on shugs video report, more info on that would be great.
uwharrie was suggested by several people too.
where is shining rock?

thanks!
Jesse

I will be in N.C. for about 6 weeks and would like to go break in my new WBBB 1.1 dble.
anywhere in the western half of state would work.
Thanks
Jesse

have fun, my family is coming here to camp.... which sucks for me
oh well you can pick your friends but not your family

thanks for the info, I haven't been to the BWCA in a long time. the first couple times in the late 70's when i was a teenager and the last time in the late 90's.. but were always with others who knew...

how do you waddle in a canoe?
I am up for hike in or canoe/kayak in, wherever the most interest is.
i am trying to trim down the weight of my pack so I won't be waddling....

Is there interest in going to northern MN for Bwca canoe trip?
perhaps the weekend of the 18th or later, even 4th of july weekend?

hey Walter, hows the knee doin?
