Hello from the peanut gallery! Dad and I are driving up there tomorrow with the kayak and Wander Mutt. Tinas making chicken and dumplings for the potluck and I'm bringing a neat little ridgeline for...

How many are brining 'yaks? We're bringing one and dad's excited there's gonna be a few more.

Close, but I believe the proper form of "y'all are" is "ya'll're". Also the pronunciation of "some (sum)" is closer to "sam" while maintaining a soft 'u' (sah-um). When attempting to blend with the...

The free section of Craigs List is pretty good for fire wood. people list it just to get it off their property and let you take as much as you can. Down side is you *might* need a chain saw. But hey,...

OMG, Sarge just Rick Rolled the thread. I quit. :scared:

I imagine that's going to be a hardship, but thanks for taking one for the team, Zort! :thumbup:

Right nice setup there! Think it would anchor in the sand? Looking for an easier way to setup on the beach.

Also Uncle M those poles were great, THANKS!!!

We're home in one piece, funky, and fed. I had a awesome time and so glad to have finally met ya'll! Tina and Ash had a great time and for the kids first time actually outside I'm quite pleased and...

Gotcha, easttex. We got 3 extra bags to add to the communal pot.

We're on our way out. Just gonna stop for some sober melons and ice. Is anyone else gonna want ice tonight? We can get a couple more bags.

Yeah, the heat's going to be brutal. I got my water cubes in and another sawyer so at any given time I should have 15-20 gallons of filtered water for people. And also because even filtered lake...

Sorry, meant on saturday. Also we're going to bring a couple of tables and there was mention of fire wood? We can bring some up for friday if there's a fire pit and people would like.

And no...

Lol, I for one am looking forward to getting lost in the woods looking for a lost lake :thumbup:

Ah, that worked out well, thanks!

So I'm going back over previous posts to start getting my ducks in a row... to get to Lot 8 it's 45N -> 75N->1375E->L on Four Notch, is that right? Also how is the hike in arranged? I don't mind...

The watermelon's vegan :thumbup:

I've made a metric sauce-ton of pasta... think chicken spaghetti, but nothing like it. Also currently cooling a cake to fill and frost, and I have a large watermelon swimming in Malibu. The dogs are...

Just ordered 50', thanks for the heads up, Uncle MJM!! Grats on the partnership and please get more T-Shirts!

97/75 98/75 99/75 for fri/sat/sun respectively 10% chance or rain so sayeth the Weather Channel App.

Does anyone hookah? I have two and was gonna bring them out for the potluck. And if y'all DO, are there any sheesha preferences! Also Imma soak a couple watermelons.

It's a large Coleman something or other. i haven't seen it yet. I'm trying to tell him that all we have to do is seam seal it, but he's convinced it's got to be treated, the whole thing, beyond what...

Haha no, it wasn't mine. I don't know how to post pics :P I made square holes that *started* vertical. There's about an 8" gap of fabric between the window and the pole sheath and when I sat in the...

It's not silnylon, just wonder with what/how sil is treated. Or rather a better explanation than I could give dad. And he want's to waterproof it with "the best stuff we can get!" I told him scotch...

So my dads jumping into camping with both feet and I couldn't be happier! He's just got a new tent and wants to waterproof it so great, lets go get some scotch guard. But no. He wants 'the best'...

Well done! I did the same with mine and it's a miracle at festivals. Have you had any issues with tearing or water proofing at the open ends? I ended up sewing ripstop 'tubes' at the ends that cinch...

So are there vendors out here then? If so how would I go about signing up? I can do custom embroidery.

Considering how crazy the winter was, this summer, as hot as it is, has been pretty mild. haven't seen a 3 digit day yet.

Welcome to the mad house! You'll love it and yes, come to the Butt Bake! Also there's the November Group Hang to look forward to!

WHAT! I call BS, and also jealousy. It hasn't left the 90's here :confused:

Welcome to the chaos! I was gonna mention the Butt Bake, but I see I got beat to it! I'll mention the GIANT November hang then :lol:

What I'm gonna do is pretty much on par with the Katadyn bag just a bit more DIY. I've rigged in the past and it worked pretty well to keep a steady supply of of copious amounts of water. Some...

YYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm signed up and have a site reserved! I was so bummed I had to drop out last year, but I'm in it this time for sure!! I'm +3 and my dads even coming, so this...

Ok, I'm confirming availability of water station services. I have an existing 5 gallon coghlans water cube and just ordered 4 more Coleman's to arrive about 7/30 or so. Plus I'll probably end up...

Put me down for two larges and a medium. How are we paying? Also we can bring a couple big folding tables and a couple Coleman stoves. And I'm going to pick up a few more water cubes in addition to...

@erinkae I assume so. I'm bringing my dog and the video from last years trip had a a couple.

The above mentioned remedies work well with a tooth brush or you can stick it in the freezer and chip it off. In my corner of Texas I'm surrounded by the Piney Woods and sap's pretty much standard...

So this is an open hang then? Count me in!

"Great, now we just need a cake big enough to hold a sweedish candle and we'll be in business."

I don't know about all that (my pans aren't big...

The helicopters run drill pretty routinely and I see them around my unit all the time. It's only for a few hours and night drill are rare, but when they do it's usually over the outlying units where...

WOOHOO!! We got another one, boys! They're both coming and moms getting a hammock! And I can't wait to get this kiddo out in the woods, she's SO excited! She's been camping, but it's always been at...

Cool! They wanna go and I'll know for sure closer to the hang. Bug is 12 and OMGIWANNAGOCAMPINGCANICANICANIPLEEEAAASSSE!!! Mom wants in, but there's scheduling to had. I got the kid a hammock and...

So since the lakes have changed, is the 20-man limit still in place? I have a couple friends that might want to tag along.

I love my profly for car camping, but holy crap it weighs a ton backpacking. It's a good tarp but I agree with the others it's not really cost effective. Hell, you can make your own for about $50 or...

Welp, as mine was the first leave-app turned in for august, I should be able to make the trip ^.^ now who likes cake?

Ok, I don't feel like such a noob now, thanks! I think the thing confusing me was the potluck, for whatever reason it didn't dawn on me it was before we hit the lake, and, well, holy CRIPES ya'll're...

I'm in for saturday with Wandermutt! I'm putting my leave app in tomorrow, goooood and early, and if it gets denied, I'll just call in dead.

Now... at the risk of sounding like a new boot...

Room for (tentatively) one more? If I can get off work, count me and Wandermutt in! Is there a date set yet? Seemed a few were thrown out, but not confirmed?

Cool, thanks guys!

I'm a Correctional Officer in a High Security Ad-Seg prison.

It's going to be her first hang out in the State park and she can't wait! I haven't spent much on her set setup as it IS her first time and she's 12... so she's excited now, but tomorrow's a new day....
