Black flies won't be bad in August, but the noseeums will be. Make sure your bugnet is the right size. I brought a hammock a couple years ago and didn't have any trouble finding a place to set up -...

It was great to meet everyone. Thanks for all your hard work, Tim!

I'll be stopping at the grocery store after work, so if there's anything that's been forgotten let me know by 5 and I'll pick it up.

Thanks for the hammock offer, Nighthauk! I have a beat up Mosquito Bliss hammock that I've been using for the last three years, so if necessary I can continue to slum in that. It just requires some...

I ordered on the 6th, so it's been the full and LONG 3 weeks.:(

I'm coming and looking forward to meeting all of you. With any luck, my new WBBB will have arrived by then. I've been waiting not very patiently for it for several weeks now.

Sounds like it was a great trip and a beautiful location. I wonder just how crowded it would be over Labor Day weekend?

Thanks so much for the trip report, Land! I really enjoyed it, and looked forward to each new post.

I hope you feel better, Sky Painter! Stomach bugs are the worst. I have to work on Saturday, so another weekend would be better for me anyway.

Get lots of rest!

I may have to work on Saturday, but if not, location dependent, I'd be interested in coming along. I'll keep any eye on this, and try to think of good uncrowded locales.

It happened for me when my much beloved but 15 year old tent basically disintegrated from UV damage. When I was shopping for a new one, I couldn't find anything trustworthy that didn't have a...

I have a hammock bliss hammock as well. It was on sale at Campmor, and I've been wanting a camping hammock for so long that it seemed like a good entry-level choice. I'm just back from a ten day...

Welcome to the forum! It's a great and friendly group in my experience.

I'm so jealous! I'm currently saving up money to get a KLR650 so I can go on trips this cool - with my hammock, of course. May that day come soon!

I use snakeskins and have tautline hitches permanently tied on the tarp side of the ridgeline. That way all I have to do is wrap the line around the tree a couple times for a friction wrap, and...

I think anything that fall outside the recognized "norm" is always suspect to many. I just started hanging this summer and definitely got teased about it initially, but like Cannibal says, once they...

I'd be interested in going if it's Aug. 21-22. Weekends before and after are already taken. I don't have a flatwater boat, but could probably acquire one for the weekend.

If I'd known it was at home, I might have suddenly felt sick and need to go home. I'm not sure I could have survived the anticipation and waiting for the end of the day.

Same thing happened to me earlier this week. After checking the status of my order incessantly for days, it finally changed to "notified for shipping." I then spent the rest of the day checking my...
