I want to give a big thank you to captaincoupal as I did not know there was a trail that connected the Bruce trail to Alleghany State Park in PA and I have never heard of Letchworth Trail. I am now...

Hi Keg,

If you do go in the new few weeks please let me know what you think

Cheers

Thank you everyone this info is perfect. I am going to read all the info provided and plan my trip accordingly. I really appreciate the community hear.

Hi Guys,

I am looking for advice on a short hike and hang near buffalo. I am from Canada so do not know the area very well. I am looking to hike less that 8 miles each day as I will have my 7...

I would say by my experience it is about 3 1/2 weeks right now.

It will be worth it.

I am sorry to hear that you did not make it out.

When you do head out I would love to see a trip report if you have time.

Blackbird has now been shipped.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:


I am so happy.:D:D:D:D

I am in my forth week of waiting and every week I get told the same thing.

Should be out this week.

The only thing you might regret from a blackbird is the wait time. I am now in my 4th week :(

If you look at Brandon's youtube video.

He recommends you always use a slippery half hitch in the continues variable webbing suspension.

That is amazing.

Is it a cookie sheet?

I would like to try making one.

I kind of expected that as I just got my backpack and it took 3 weeks from GoLite using USPS.

I hope that you get it before your hike.

I am looking at doing my solo from near Milton to Terra Cotta Conservation Area. How about you where do you intend to hike?

I am now a Donating Member:lol:

I did not buy a tarp yet, but I am waiting on a sewing machine and hope to make my own cat cut tarp eventually. For my first hike I am going to try to use a space blanket tarp that Big-t uses. I...

I ordered the BlackBird Double layer 1.7. I can not wait till it gets here I want to do a solo hike on the Bruce Trail on June 23rd and I hope I get it before that.

Wow... I love all the diy that you have done that is amazing.

Have you had a chance to test out the table yet? I would love to know how it worked.

Tarp looks amazing.

Can you explain the wall hanging and string to make the lines for the cat cut?

I have made about 20 alcohol stoves and two wood stoves trying to keep my mind off the hammock :lol:

I ordered my Warbonnet blackbird and I am in the third week of waiting.

I have been in contact with Brandon the whole time so I know it is being worked on.

I just want it so bad that I cannot...

I need some advice on this as well.

I have got my wife to tent camp now... Man did that take work.

She thinks Hammock camping is craziness. She actually thinks I lost my mind the last few month...

I can't wait to get my hammock and do this myself.

You guys have really inspired me.

It is good to see all the positive results of Hammock therapy :lol:

Are you guys still going?

Let me know, as I would love to come out and meet some people.

I can not stay over as I do not have my gear yet and I have to work.

It looks a bit flimsy but if you look at his warbonnet blackbird video. He says this is what he uses.

Here is a guy who used a space blanket as a tarp.

I love it. I can not stop laughing.... I am crying..... That is amazing.

I agree with all the fire lovers. It just does not feel like camping without a fire. Even a small one.

How much to get an IMUSA shipped to Canada?

I am trying trying Kijiji but just not sure 100% what I am looking for.

I do not know the brands that are considered good.

I thought I found something but after searching there where many bad...

I think that I will have to use a poly blue tarp, until I can get my wife to believe that a silnylon tarp is a good investment.

May never happen :(

I am glad that you and friend survived.

I am am new to hiking and did not understand the importance of an emergency kit. I was not to worried about taking anything more then a lighter, stove,...

I do not think that I have seen that many snakes in my life let alone in one trip.

Thank you for sharing the pictures are exceptional.

This is absolutely amazing.

I don't know if I could do it but it is amazing none the less.

I am very interested in seeing your setup.

I have a byers of maine traveller light hammock and that is all, so I would love to see how I can make due until I can get a real tarp and under quilt.

Thank you so much for your trip report.

It has got me very excited as I am very close to the Bruce trail and now that I have seen your trip report. I know that it is a viable place to hike and...

Can I come out for a visit?

I can't stay the night as I have to work the next day.

As I am new I would love to see someone's setup.

I know nothing about sewing machines.

Where would you suggest begin my search for vintage singers?

Hi Guys,

I would like to start making gear and I would like to know if this cheap sewing machine would get the job done.

Welcome from Ontario.

I am new as well. I think once you catch the hammock bug you just go wild, at least I have.

All the ideas on here are absolutely amazing.

I would not have believed that you could hang a hammock from ski polls.

Hi Guys,

I am so excited I just got my new hammock and I posted a video here.

Let me know what I am doing wrong and how I can fix it.

Have fun on the trail.

If I were going to use eyebolts what size would be recommended?

Does anyone know if putting holes or eyebolts in the joist would break code or be bad for the joist?

Hi Guys,

Thank you for all the ideas.

Yes it is a hammock that I am whipping.

I am trying to do a setup in my basement while I decide what to buy or make.

I am going to use a sheet to...

Thank you for correcting the thread title.

I tried but it would not let me.
