Not sure if this is accurate, the the Blue Mountain Eagle Climbing Club has on their website that a caretaker is wanted for the 501.

My very first night in a hammock, I had borrowed a Hennessy bottom entry and slept like a baby. It was summer at about 7:30 am and I was blissfully slumbering sorta on my side, well you know the...
Bobcat, they can sound like a baby crying all the way up to a woman screaming. Talk About Bug-eyes when you hear it
That is the elusive call of the Manbearpig!!
I have a Kammock and i do like the python straps and i did sleep well in it. I have not owned or slept in an ENO, but MANY MANY people have with great results.

I have a fondness for the name The RidgeRunner, but alas, that name is taken.
This is my tarp
There are many like it, but this one is mine
Without me, my tarp is useless
Without my tarp, i am useless.
Sorry, just watched Jarhead
I should mention, my Dangerbird is custom.
I'm the district camping chairman and I'm doing a lightweight/ultralight hammock backpacking presentation at our march roundtable and i have been going rounds about how i present the alky stove...
I have a Zpacks Cuben with doors which i absolutely love. I went with Zpacks for the 11 foot ridgeline.
Before the Cuben, i used a OES MacCat Deluxe which was a little snug in the ridgeline.

Ain't that rock scramble fun. That section just about did me in.
I use a HG crowsnest er a a , what is it.........Pheonix with my BB.
I can ask about renting my scout camp, it has all the qualifications but i know there are usually some lively "spirits" around the fire. The Scouts sort of frown on the "spirits" on their properties.
I just volunteered to be the District Camping Chairman.
Guess what I'm going to start pushing!!
I am waiting for the right time at a Council Camping Committee meeting to bring up a Hammock...

Giving the field testers at BP Mag a Hammock is like giving a Long Haul Truck driver an Indy Car and then the truck driver complains that there isn't a cup holder.
The Powers of the Ginger are a mysterious creature that few dare to cross. :lol:
I think i posted to this thread before, but I am now the District Venturing Chairman.

I second that, but i still couldn't get on the show. This is the first time being an Eagle Scout has kept me from doing something.
There was a thread on this a while back. I forget what the specifics were/are, but here is the link.......i think
