Hello from Madison, WI
I have used a 3D leaf pattern covering over my tarp in the past for more stealth. Work well, but does add some weight. The 3D leaf pattern covers my ridge line to break up the horizontal shape of...
Can't forget the brats and hard rolls
I have a large in green I would sell to you for $25. It never fit me well.
QUOTE=TRog;1527179]Hi guys just checking to see if anyones got a medium, 8 liter ribz pack that there not using and...
I will be attending for sure. I am a sponsor and always donate a bunch of Browning flashlights. Lots of people will be hanging and hot tenting. Hopefully the weather is nice and cold.

Welcome. If your near Madison I could show you a variety of different rigs and techniques to put you into that slumber state in a hammock. Just pm me.
Maybe repurpose the green bean into a Hill Billy pot stuff sack. Then it will always be with you
Welcome. I am almost in your backyard in Madison. I am in Verona. Contact me if you need any help with your hammock.
$75 plus shipping
Sorry forgot the price. Asking $75 plus shipping
I have a slightly used Molly MaC cotton hammock sock. I used this for one of the frozen butt hangs a few years ago. It's in just about perfect condition. See link below if you are interested.

I put it on my calender and will try to make it. Maybe even go up a day or two early. Cry O Wild if you are driving through Verona maybe we can car pool. It got a big truck that will get us...
I plan to make it as usual. I usually grouse hunt for 2-3 days before the WCS in Northern Wisconsin, then work my way over to the symposium. Anyone you likes to grouse hunt and camp in the bush is...
Yes, great video. Very much appreciated! I need to hook up with you one if these days. Living in Wisconsin as well.
I should be up in the Northwoods in a week or two. Usually camp mostly in the Fall in either the Nicolet or ChemQ. Pm me if you want to get together sometime for some hanging, bushcraft and beer
Welcome! I live just outside Madison. Cry O Wild is up around central western Wisconsin
and is the most active camper I know of. You may want to contact him as well

Got it on my calendar. I am in Vegas again for the SHOT show the day before
the hang starts. Hopefully I can make it and bring along the big top parachute
Can't wait!!
I am in. Fingers all crossed.
My chances of attending the hang just went down. I am
traveling this week and as soon as I left earlier this week my wife got the
flu really bad. Tomorrow afternoon I will know for sure what's...
Just added some info to the spreadsheet.
- I will bring along a 5Q dutch oven
- I will bring along two smoked Kielbasa's, large onion, potatoes and two large cans of sauerkraut. This...

See the attached maps. Let me know if this all looks correct, etc.
- If anyone wants the actual Garmin GPS file of these locations or generic GPS file for other GPS units. Send me...
Hi Stairguy
I can create maps using GPS coordinates. I have software for detailed topos and satellite images. Would be glad to do this ASAP.

Bear paw rounded front with Ojibwa tail.
TZ is correct. Try to figure out if possible what was used to seal these in the past. If it's still has an oily smell or feel it could be linseed oil. If it look like a really thick coating it may...
Toe warmers - Not sure if everyone had tried this or not at the Frozen Butt Hang. The last hang I used Grabber Toe warmers with the peel and stick adhesive to help keep my toes warm. At the really...
Got most of my travel worked out for this as well. It's a long drive from Madison, WI. I got it easy compared to Mac and TZ though. I will be in Vegas working the SHOT show for Browning and my...
I had a Ford Ranger and had the same concerns. I had new tires, 500lbs in the back and I still had a few hills I could never make it up. Drove that truck more close to ten years this way. You made...
I had the same problem with the software. I think one of the better free places to get topo maps online is http://www.mytopo.com/maps/index.cfm?search_string=finland%2C+MN They want you to...
Good luck. Appreciate your efforts here to figure this out.
If you get the GPS cords for the sites, please post as well. I have been looking through my GPS topo software already learning as much...
Stairguy. Count me in for this.
I am working on the travel logistics. Good change that Jason from Lester River Bushcraft will drive up with me and attend as well. I have the same type of parachute...
I am so tempted by this. Been at the first two hangs and don't want to miss this one
I work the SHOT show in Vegas until the 1st day of the hang. So if I make it
it may not be until Friday. I...
Glad you are doing this. See you there!
Great to have you here. I am in Verona, just few mikes from you
We have at least 4-5 people in the Madison , WI area now
It's. very similar to a NX250, except:
No storage or pouches under the hammock. It's a single layer bottom with a second piece
of fabric sewn in the center for strength.
It's also like a...
It's worth waiting for. I have the very first production sample of the Flex 180
I promised Clark I would wait to post any pics or details until after they officially
put the details on their...
Count me in!
Count me it. Fingers crossed!
I think Jason from Lester River Bushcraft will also be attending. I am bringing
Jiffy pop for over the campfire, Landjaegers, extra thick peppered bacon. I figured we would have enough food for...
Not too different in size from you. 6'-2"@280. I had calf pressure and
cramping in my DL 1.7 WBBB. Finally put some extra clothes to make
a pillow in the foot box and it solved the problem. ...
I would think treating with wax would end up reducing the ability
of the garment to breath and cancel out the benefits. I don't think I would do this, but I sweat heavily and need clothing that is...
It keeps getting better all the time. Winter is the best season!
All your water is frozen around you, haul your gear in a pulk, sauna, campfire, good food and friends. No bugs! Does not get any...
That really looks great. I have been thinking about a project
like this as well, so this is helpful. I can't wait to check it out
in person at the Frozen Butt hang as well. Thanks for sharing
I will arrive Thursday afternoon as well. Want plenty of time to set up my hammock, etc. with nights coming early in the Winter. Will try to bring along some new flashlights for all that attend.
Great to see you are starting a tradition in Wisconsin. I attended the Frozen butt hang in Minnesota last year and am also going this year. I was thinking about trying to get some frozen hang time...
I will attend for sure. Hope we get even colder then last year. Good chance Canoeski will come as well
Thanks for sharing. I can understand your feeling of being disturbed in this area. I also live in Wisconsin and hunt grouse. I usually go to the other side of the Forest, actually East of hwy 70...
Welcone! I live in the Madison area and would show you anything that I have already learned, Lot's of talent in this group. Most problems can be solved easily.

I has really bad foot cramps, then cramps in my quads and finally
all the way up my back when I hug at the Frozen Butt hang in January. My ridge
Line was actually too loose with the trees too...
Hello Snipen - I may be up for this hang as well. I never hiked this part of Wisconsin, but always wanted to. I usually end up in the Porkies in the UP and end up stealth camping. Another location...
Welcome and glad your here. I live in the Madison area as well. Their are at least 4-5 of us in this area now who are on the forums.
