Hey welcome from another sotaian. Lots of real intelligent folk in here to answer anything you might wanna know. I know it's helped me a great deal.
My boy is 34 and goes with the ole man and even walks at my pace..Ya can't beat it and the memories are great..
Thanks Bud, appreciate it..walked by a few of them but don't think I was by this one. Sounds like it'll work..
Minnesota hangers, I have site 18 at Crosby Manitou for a couple of nights. Been through the park but have never camped there. Does this site have some decent trees for a couple of hangers..
...
Sounds like a well planned hang in the chilly woods...Gotta see if I can maker next year....
Nice, you boy's bring the creature comforts, hell yeah, even weinies,,,Nice..
Another 45er here. I usually start on my back and relax and just get the feel of the pitch. Then as someone pointed out slowly go my side, once there I turn my back a little back towards center and I...
Thanks, nice view of your trip..
Hey, nice trip and cool seeing the crane in the woods. Looks like you have your dog trained well for the trail. We just got a rescue dog and I'm working on getting him accustomed to going camping and...
I'm a Leftey, (feet left) and for me it's because I like to get on my side on my right shoulder, my normal sleep position in a bed. Sometimes, rarely, I'll switch it up if I'm having a hard time...
Hey man, got my start here and welcome. In here you can take it is far as you want with the all the available knowledge.
Hey Hickery, know where that lake is but haven't been out there enough to know where that boat house is. I'm sure it was good times tho!!..Enjoy going along with you and your bud Shug on your yearly...
I get eye rolls from my better half when I do something deserving. Thank god they love us eh Shug!!.
Funny stuff as always, and thanks for letting us peak.
Good Vid, looks like it was a great trip..
I am currently writing this post from the comfy splendor of my WL Night Owl. Nice set up and indeed it is a comfortable lay..
Wish I were closer. I've been to Vancouver one time a few years ago and love your area up there and hope to visit again sometime soon,,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you hangers out there...Pretty weird up here in Minnesota with grass that's still green this time of year but making the best of a snow less...
LoL, came into this thread thinking I'd see a video and saw the date...Must of been Shug pre video days..
Very cool thing to do...Good luck on your adventure..
Someone in need of a great kit is going to luck out and own a piece of history from the legend himself..
Good on ya Shug...That's a nice gesture on your part for sure...
My wife has caught me snickering more than a few times watching a Shug vid. I do get the feeling she thinks I'm easily amused and she'd be right. She has admitted that the little she has seen of Shug...
The best part about this way for me is less bulk, not to mention no knots..My toggles and straps fit into my hammock stuff sack along of course with the whoppie attached hammock. Keeps everything...
A month ago I went trout fishing in northern Wisconsin at a hunting cabin with over 15 other fella's sleeping in the cabin and RV's. Me, well I pitched my hammock in the woods and gave tours and try...
Nice Shug, ya always get me pumped to get out again..
I'm assuming it's sold, shoot...Thanks for answering the question red...
What is a differential cut??..It's 1 am where I am and will look on the WL site to see if it's on there...
Welcome from another Minnesota hammocker...This is a great place to hang out..
I'm no authority on the dangers of hammocks becoming to popular, so I don't I worry about stuff I can't control. At the same time I'd never hold back from spreading the word or getting someone new to...
I have the ground hogs but usually go with shepherd hooks and trees or roots if close by..
I was up in that area near Tetagouchie a week ago and the bugs were not that bad. I'd tote some extra water in between the lakes though..
Still do not own a underquilt and actually like how my pad firms up my hammock making it easier to side sleep in it. I may never go underquilt for this very reason.
No underquilt as well here. I put my pad in between layers of my WL Night Owl and have no problems with it moving around or not keeping me warm. What I did was cut the pad about the same length as a...
Not sure how much you're attached to using timbers but I used 2" x 10' galvanized water pipe. I dug 36" footings and filled with concrete and stuck a capped 2 1/2" x 2' piece of pvc into the wet...
You can't go wrong with WL or many of the other vendors who sell 11' hammocks. My experience has been with WL and I own the Night Owl and have no problem with side sleeping. Something that seems to...
Welcome from the Twin cities..Fairly new myself and you're definitely in the right place..
Very well done..I enjoyed watching
I have the King 20 degree top quilt, the Night Owl hammock, and the Big Daddy tarp and it's all good stuff. I've never waited more than a day for Marty to respond to a question..
Welcome mj1, welcome to a great place and life changing for some of us
Those urban woods can be interesting for sure. I was hiking such a place last summer when through the clearing two coppers with guns drawn came onto the trail heading right for me. Turns out they...
I'm 6' tall and weigh 270 lbs and really like my Wilderness Logic Night Owl hammock. I'm very comfy in this well made hammock and Marty at WL is as good as it gets if you have any questions. My first...
Just happened upon this thread and watched your video, very nice trip and that loft hang was pretty cool..
Been doing a lot of snowshoeing myself this winter but do not have your view. As everyone else who has commented said, beautiful pics..
Good video..Nothing like shoeing through the deep stuff as it will get you huffing for sure..Looks like a great time you all had..
Nice, my third one from this saga..Liked how you took time to listen to the wind blow through the trees. I was doing the very same thing snowshoeing up in Wisconsin a week ago, and not a prettier...
Nice pics of the great white north, looks like you folks had a blast..
Great video Hillbilly Deluxe...Liked you and Viney Girl's creative fort shelter very much and it looked mighty cozy and warm in there..The next time I watch a HBD presentation I'll have to pop...
Those are great snowshoes. I have the MSR Lightening with the only diff being I do not have the heel lift which would be nice for going up steep inclines. These shoes have teeth all around the edge...
Plus one on everything said on this thread so far. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting anybody in here in the flesh yet but I am sure at some point a few of our paths will cross. Much shared...
You guys know how to do it!! Very cool trip report and loved the toboggan..
Great stuff as usual Fronk..I noticed since the move you've lost the trekking poles, any reason for doing so cause it looked like they could of come in handy on some of that trail..Wonderful scenery...
