We had a great time there as well. Loved talking shop, whether it be knots, hammocks, or smoking (meat). Excellent BBQ all around.

For those of you interested the folding charcoal chimney is...

Eta 6:30. Will there be any food left? :-)

Lucky for you I'm just around the corner, I'm bringing BBQ! ;-) Hope to be there today, just a little delayed.

Looks like we will be delayed by a defective tire on the van...not sure if we will make it there tonight or have to turn this into a day trip tomorrow...

Haha. With all the rain here I haven't been able to smoke the butt. I'm trying something completely new for me with butts - sous vide. 24 hours at 165, then refrigerate and finish for 1-2 hrs on...

We'll have a perc and stove along :cool:.

Bringing Akorn Jr. for some smoking, have 15lbs of butt waiting to be smoked. We'll also do a chocolate cherry cobbler.

I've been enjoying ABTs (jalapeno poppers) lately.

I hope to be able to make it this year. No conflicts that I am aware of at the moment, but need to do a bit of checking first. It's been a blast each time! I also now have a portable smoker, so can...

Thank you so much Hotlips and Kingsford for all the time and effort you put into this hang. We had a great time!

So sad we missed you guys! Hope you feel better soon.

Hotlips, did you get a spare smoker for me to use tomorrow? Anything for us to bring?

Packing up...heading out tomorrow afternoon and really looking forward to this weekend!

Was planning on bringing pulled pork again. Suppose I could do ribs or something else instead.

I just put 10 lbs of vacuum sealed pulled pork in the freezer. Did my first overnight cook.

The hennessy hex is a great tarp, will work in the wind ok if you can place it right. If you can afford it (and the shorter ridgeline looks like it will work in your setup since you list an ENO DN...

Fired up the smoker for some tenderloin tonight...looking forward to some butts!

That is my plan as well.

Definitely!



I was just looking at those a couple of days ago. Not sure I would go with that one but it looks pretty nice.

Hotlips, I am so happy for you guys - glad to hear that you...

Yes, the bridges could be a bit of a problem. Last year I made several trips to and from the campsite. Here is the first trip up: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/471630380

This hang was a...

Ok, finally think I've figured out this weekend. I'll be dropping by with the boys for a while around lunchtime. Is there anything else needed? Could bring dessert for lunch...

Working on UQ right now so I'll go with a top quilt. 3 season, as much as I can go with 12 oz of down. If I win, I would gladly pay for an extra 4-8oz of down. 52x84 with a mitten-clip and shock...

Must have pictures! (or a video)

Still not sure about our plans - very unlikely I will be able to spend the night there, but may get out on Saturday.

I have some 5.0 on the way from RBTR and am planning on doing something like this, but with a differential cut on the outside layer:...

Yeah, I forgot the smiley. That was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. Still not sure if I'll be able to make it.

With my Fronkey style bugnet I have found that the UQ and TQ (sleeping bag) I leave in the hammock easily fill the gaps - so I don't think that is something to worry over. It is easier to get in and...

I have used the side tie outs on the noah 12 with a hiking pole to the ground, but not with an over-the-tarp pole. This was the first time I set up the tarp - have gotten better at it since then. ...

So is this one hang or two?

Yes, it should work.

I've never used one of the blue poly tarps but I've seen them at a few hangs. They work but aren't the lightest or most elegant solution. There are many, many options out...

Funds received, shipped. Item is SOLD.

Sold pending funds

This is a standard Hennessy Expedition Asym Classic bottom entry hammock in good condition. The previous owner slept with his dog in the hammock which caused a tear in the netting (fixed by me,...

I agree with the vast majority of this post. Dutch ships quickly and should have most of the items you need. I would also think about the vented sock - that will allow you to extend the temperature...

Been thinking about doing a vented sock myself. Have the noseeum already, just need the fabric. What is the width of the fabric before sewing? Did you just sew 60" fabric into a tube?

This sounds like an awesome adventure. I do not know if I will be able to do it or not but I will be trying to find ways...

If you haven't already, please start a new thread, there is too much to discuss in a thread hijacking.

Phantom - I've started using that diamond knot with loop in my suspension (from the fall Yates hang) - love it!

I think that is an awesome idea!

Maybe, hopefully, I will have a kayak for this hang. Anyone else planning on paddling?

^ That.

Hopefully I will be able to make both Yates and Smoked Butt.

This sounds like a great place to use adutchable clips and/or cinch buckles.

Since you specified hammocks, here goes: I would make a gathered end hammock setup for my wife - with integrated privacy screen (think like the freezer flaps, it would slide along the ridgeline)...

What Shug said.

Cheap and get you to freezing or so? Pads work. Not for everyone though. Underquilts work too but not as cheap. I made a simple one with about three yards of clearance fabric and...

We certainly hope to be able to be there. I'll bring some smoked pork goodness if we do come (and I now have a vacuum sealer so it won't dry out reheating it this year). Should have a good idea of...

Hopefully (one or more of) the boys and I can make it to this hang. Not sure about schedule at this point as my oldest just crossed over to boy scouts which makes for even more events to plan around.

It is 10'4"x6'4" if I did my calculations correctly. That is about the size of the eno profly, which I do have experience with. It kept my son's hammock dry in a moderate rain.I would worry about...

I'll test them for free!

I don't think either weekend is better or worse for us, as of right now anyway.

That. Is. Awesome.

How thick was the ice?

I have the guardian and a diy fronkey style made with noseeum from rbtr. The fronkey is much easier to use. I was wondering why I was sweltering in the guardian in the summer - will have to see if...

I understand that. This plus the double hook from dutch means 2 trees, 2 stands, and I can have my entire family in hammocks - and that would be only for car camping so weight wouldn't be much of a...
