According to GT's site the Nano is 9' x 4'. That doesn't give you a lot of room at 6'. I, too am 6', and find that sometimes even my ENO can feel a little snug at 9'4" long. Luckily I got the...
I still have my mate and his fiancé coming up with me tomorrow as well! Should be a grand time!
More room in the hammock for myself!
Dammit, Adam, you had to call it! Make that no +1 for iRokk again this year! :p
Jeez, is the campsite gonna be big enough for the group this year?!
Talking to a friend who may be interested in the tarp, hopefully he can get me the cash before someone else claims it, especially with the snakeskins :D
Woooo! Just got my new straps from Gary over at Readystrap! Stoked. I guess I'll be bringing my fudge again for appetizer Friday. And Andrew sounds like he'll be bringing his family's baked beans...
Well now that Chicago-style pizza sounds pretty good, Adam, thanks a lot! No Chetter this year?
It does sound a tad familiar! Wonder who may have said that one last year too! :lol:
It also appears that my mate Andrew and his fiancé Kayla may be joining us for the 17-19. I have already briefed them on the cost as well as wood, pot-luck, etc. More newbies!
Just asking because my lady said she would come if anyone else was bringing a wife/girlfriend/etc, but otherwise didn't wanna intrude on the "guys"'s camping trip :lol:
Yeah! Little Dude is looking like a badass rokker these days! I requested the 17-19th off, and hopefully I'll find out today if I got 'em. Are any wives coming this year or is it gonna be just us...
Sorry for the absence, guys, been busy with school and work! I'm gonna try to get the days off for this and see if I can drag one of my new hammock recruits with me!
Yeah it worked really well this year, so if we did the same thing this year and just had two nights of potluck like we talked about, I think it would be perfect.
Sorry for my absence, guys! Life got in the way of living for a bit! The good news is it looks like i have converted one of my buddies to the dark side on our fishing day-trips. Every time we go, our...
I used Just Jeff's "W" method for a while and never had any problems. It was definitely more comfortable than the other gathered end method. I have since switched all my DIY's to knotty mod ends.
Whooo, Just entered!
That's right, I need to talk to the mods and change my name to "Ta Feta Oblongata"! :lol:
Great pictures, guys! Can't wait for the video!
Jeez, not even gone 2 full days and I come back and hf looks completely different!
Ok, leaving in about 5 min, just gotta grab some ice, beer, gas, and air in my tires!
Just finishing getting ready!
On one of my rafting trips one of my buddies and I performed Paradise by the Dashboard Light in its entirety for our group at the campfire
I play bass, so no chords, but I do have the vocal chords of an angel! A...fallen angel :lol:
Done. Now I can sleep easy and slave over the stove tomorrow!
BUT, now that it is crunch time, is there anyone who would be opposed to me making that fudge? (since it does use canned milk in the cooking process) Otherwise I need to think of something to make!
I plan to! I'm doing fine, and I've never been one to be a downer. Looking forward to singing around the campfire and having a blast! And like I said, if I can find a new +1, all's well that ends...
Well, as it turns out, I found myself single this week so I will have no plus 1. If I could apply that extra payment to 2 patches then the extra few bucks just to help kick in for the campground and...
Hmm, I guess you're right, I do use canned milk in the fudge, so no go on that one.
I was thinking about making fudge for the potluck...
But WHY is the clown's nose red? That's what we should be asking! Also, I'm in on this very generous raffle :D
My gf should be flying in either that Thursday night or Friday morning, but we will be there Friday.
Now that looks like a comfy hammock. I could sleep in that full time.
I've been using arrow shaft toggles for a couple years, now, and I've never had a problem with them being too small or slipping or anything. The aluminum arrows, I recall seeing a post once about...
Nothing special. My gf and I will be in either our DN or the hammock I made to be our full-time when we live together, although I never did finish the insulation for it. I'll have my DIY 1.1 SL, and...
Wooo, I know I'll be picking up at least 1
I wish I had that much rope. I have just under 100ft of black amsteel, probably 40-50 ft of red, plenty of zing-it left, and a couple hundred feet of paracord, which I can nab 100ft of for about 5...
Well, Gary, once I get my tax return, I may as well order a couple new sets of straps so you can put it to use! :p
I just thought it was a little much to say that the extra 5oz was "absurd" compared to a miniature hammock. I'm a semi-tall guy, at 6ft, and a hammock small enough to weigh 5oz just wouldn't be...
Likewise, using chrome. Sure it's no biggie
2x3 seems a little small when I look at a rectangle drawn that size, and 3x4 sounds like a better ratio for the actual shape. My .02
Whoooo! All paid up!
What's everyone bringing for the potluck?! Depending on what kinda stuff people are bringing, I can make something or get drinks or bring whatever :)
I'll get that 30 bucks to you tonight/early morning, and I'm stoked I can make it!
Put in the time off request and already approved, so put me down for 2!
Hey guys, sorry I went MIA for so long. Been a hectic few weeks. I'm putting in my time off request today, so I should know no later than Friday if I can make it! Assuming I get the days I will put...
Wow, thanks! I will bring the "experimental hammock" I have been working on, too, if I make it. In fact, the gf may want to sleep in that one instead of our DN... If so, and if it is finished, I may...
Haven't tried the Hennessy snakeskins, but I have nothing but praise for the ones I ordered from Mountaingoat, and it sure wasn't a long wait. And then you know you are getting something that will...
I won't know until february, most likely, but if I can make it I will be sure to get you the money for myself and my girlfriend post-haste! I also hope it warms up a little, as I opted to buy a new...
