I use an old army ground pad from my days of yore. I also don't put mine in between the layers, for no reason at all. It is wider than most and doesn't move around on me.

I am really hoping to get to this hang. I haven't been able to even open the forum in forever and it has been almost two months since my last hammock night. Ryan, however, spent 22 nights in 2012...

Hey SkyGEEZER I keep reminding myself to thank you for the blog, the pics, and coming all the way up to hang with us. I look forward to more trail time with a fellow Show Me Hanger.
3 season, it was probably around 30* at night. So chilly but not really cold. I also had a 0* bag in the hammock with me, and that may have been part of the problem.

I use "old blue especially" on car camping trips. The blue cargo tarp from Walmart is 12x 10 and costs around $10. If sparks hit it I go pay $10 and get "new blue". It isn't fancy or light weight,...
Is anyone else a "hot sleeper" I was chilly Friday night so RB told me to try his yeti Saturday night... I woke up hot and tried to just vent but ended up moving the yeti out of the way.
Maybe the...

It may just be me, and if I have learned anything on this forum YMMV (your mileage may vary)

I am checking Boy Scout calendar now, and it looks like I am golden for this one. I may bring along Ryan, he does love to hike. I am going to snag RBDodger to see if he wants to go too.
I personally would like to be further from home... to prevent the continuous walk in of crap I did... I think I am still cleaning stuff out of the woods...DANG I have to get that...
I suppose we should start looking at fall dates now.
November is bambi killin' time, October? Halloween Hang?
Spetember is busy with scout outtings, I could take one off and hang though... just...
I have been using a pad and bag for the last year or so. My good buddy RBDodger came to the Central Wisconsin hang this weekend and said, "Try this out". What contraption is this? "A Yeti" he said...

Hey I am making a sign to go on that fence post out in the Forest Unit, who do I need to contact to put the HF logo on the sign? Anyone know for sure, I want to make sure we have permission.
I hope your foot feels better soon, and we will see you on the dusty trail.
I went out this weekend also, and lugged in a metal fencepost and a hammer. So when you come in from the North parking lot, head south on the main trail. Then cross the creek and head up the hill. ...

Hey SC, talk about your lay, are you a "head higher" or "Foot higher" guy, laying on your back or on your side? Are you at 30* angle or steeper? Is your ridgeline taut or slack?

Wiscoman and Butwhat2 if you get a chance to get out this week let me know. My son is home from the Air Force so my woods time is diminished, as Mom won't let him out of her sight. I left a tarp at...

I think we could use a bit more firewood, nothing large in diameter, smaller wood burns more evenly and brightly. "nothing bigger than your wrist" ... or MY wrist, I am pretty fat.
Ryan and I went back to the site for the Central Wisconsin April hang and cut up some firewood. then trimmed up a couple evergreens so we could hang for a nap
