This chick I used to go out with gave me a Kermit the Frog stuffed animal when I got home from Iraq. She then proceeded to call me Kermit because he is green and I was in the army.
She is no...
I'm 5'8'' and have a 3/4 lengths overstuffed 0degF UQ from Stormcrow.
I was also weary of the length, but you can always supplement by using a pad under your feet and using excess clothing in the...
I do prefer the 3/4 length Phoenix, especially given my manlet height 5'8'', deal with it.
In the colder months I'll just toss some spare clothes in the bottom of my topquit and that's always...
Make sure you stop at the guy's RV near the F-Mart.
That barbecue brisket is off the chain. Mac and cheese, cole slaw, baked beans.
Mm mm mmmmmm
So,
It's been many moons since I've been to HF.
I've been in Vietnam for work.
I spent many nights in my WBBB.
I've missed you all.
I frequently check daily deal websites for gear, which drains my checking account at times.
Today I found the Hennessy on sale @ outdoordaily.com
Camofire.com and Steepandcheap.com are also...
Where did you get the multicam fabric? That thing looks sweet.
I want my attachment.
Welcome, I'm from the upstate myself.
Welcome from Greenville. Feel free to ask me anything! I go camping rather regularly.
This is an accurate depiction of the indigenous population of Travelers Rest, South Carolina.
I already have a trip report in another thread. You should be able to do a search to find it. There are plenty of waterfalls and scenic spots. It's a nice place to go, plus it's totally free.
Sorry for the short notice.
Going to the Laurel Creek portion of the Foothills Trail at Lake Jocasee in upstate SC this weekend. Plan on being at trailhead off Highway 178 around 10 a.m. of the 5...
Thanks for the update, can't wait for my brown maccat.
Burning the midnight oil myself.
Good luck on the exams.
Did you try the army navy store downtown Greenville. Cheaperthandirt.com and likewise sportsmans warehouse
Just bought a Pinnacle for my Foothills Trail thru hike. Holy wow shamwow shrimp sandwich what a deal.
Thank you soooooo much.
A challenger appears....
This is very effective persuasion. Mind=blown
I was in the Army. I'm not used to having things that are top of the line, which added to the pain of deciding whether or not I should buy it.
We called such mentality, "Being in the suck".

You guys really make me feel like I belong
in some sort of therapy.
I'm actually a woman.
I claimed 0 dependents last year. I have a nice chunk of tax return money. I'm a pretty hardcore saver though. It really took a lot for me to purchase a hammock that is that expensive, albeit worth...
1.7 Olive Green Double w/ adjustable strap suspension that will be replaced with 7/64 whoopies.
I did it. I feel relieved, but left in wanting for obvious reasons.
Thanks guys, I needed the...
crying, like a child.
My ENO doublenest was my gateway drug, errrrm....hammock.
It gets the job done....
That's the problem though, it just gets the job done. I have a DIY bugnet.
I want a WBBB. I went to Frugal...
Thanks for reminding me I have to PAY the ticket. I almost forgot about it in my car visor.
Took the rock jock trail on the west side of the Gorge. Went off the trail a bit, but not too far.
And I thought I had it bad. Good Lord that would suck.
I hope I learned my lesson.
I went 3 weeks ago. It was pretty cold then, but by April it should be really nice. Still would take 3 season gear. Could get pretty cold at night.
Looking for info on this matter as well. Went to Linville Gorge this weekend, feet were bitter cold. I wore a pair of smart wool socks and a thicker pair of merino wool socks over them.
I saw...
I got a $150 speeding ticket, which sucked imo.
Yet another spur of the moment trip for me. Decided to check out the big ditch since I've never been there. It's a sight to see, that's for sure. Super cold this time of year though and the wind...
Perhaps you've seen my threads about waiting for and/or receiving my 4 Season 3/4 Phoenix underquilt.
I suppose it matters not if you have or if you have not.
So....
Yesterday I was in the...
Thanks a ton swampfox, but I am totally good now. I received my 4 season Phoenix underquilt from Stormcrow. Tested it last night and was TOASTY. Can't wait to go back this weekend.
Also, sorry...
I just received my long awaited overstuffed 4 season phoenix. I apologize for the following...
A cardboard box. Seemingly generic to the untrained eye, but behold the hint of discarded 900 fill...
Spur of the moment kinda trip. Really bad weather in the southeast last Friday, but thankfully it cleared up late Saturday.
Didn't get to the trailhead until 1:00ish P.M. Much to the dismay of my...
I envy you. I'm going hiking at Pisgah tomorrow and my 4 season phoenix is in transit.
Commence the printing stormcrow. Make sure it's in Arial though, I'm allergic to all other fonts.
Bold too. Dont use Italics, I'm from South Carolina. Don't need to church it up.
I'm at work....
It's beautiful. I wish I was that scale.
With much anticipation, I sit in my computer chair, watching youtube videos, and looking at Pisgah maps, waiting for my 4 season 3/4 length phoenix to arrive.
The suspense is almost mind numbing....
May already be a thread for this, but found this deal online.
Go go go go go!

Gotta get two myself!
Greenville/Travelers Rest here. Going to Pisgah this weekend.
Yay.
You could be correct, I didn't ask any salesperson about the fabric.
It just felt like noseeum to me, I'd seen a bit of it in theater and it looked and felt exactly the same.
Ill call tomorrow...
They had it on a spool with no listing, SKU number, or barcode. I was just skimming through their inventory and happen to of seen it. It was the Greenville store on Woodruff road. They had...
So, I've decided to fabricate my own bug net in anticipation for the warmer weather. I'm in the south so......:) make your own inference as to whether it's needed or not.
This is more of an primer...
NSDQ indeed. Checking out the hang in Greenwood, do believe I'll attend, given scheduling is possible.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
This.

One of my coworkers has the ENO ember underquilt, which I believe is the one you're referring to.
Couple of issues he had with it...

Upon rigorous discussion with Ms. Piggy, erm....the Misses, Kermit is the preferred nomenclature.
I'm Chad from Greenville, SC. Prior active duty military with a tour in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Been a hammock camper since OIF 2008, but not in the depth that most of the users of this forum are....
