Unfortunately, I'm out of this one. My son is in a baseball tournament that weekend. Hope everyone has a great time and that I can join another hang really soon.

I also have a mamajamba, and I use msr groundhog stakes now. I used to have titanium shepherd hooks, and they are strong, but come out a lot... I still carry a couple of them for the tie out points,...
What he said.
I would love to have one! Thanks!!
I'm in! Thanks for the opportunity!
That's great. He really looks up to you. As a parent myself, I know you must feel loved.
Another fun fact is that there is absolutely no water on Blood Mountain. It's relatively easy to cross, but you'll need to start with water there or refill before you get there. It's beautiful,...
As for what route to get there by, I'm not sure from Florida. I would Googke directions to Amicalola State Park. I would also Google directions to Springer Mountain parking lot from Amicalola. It's...
Two cars will let you travel all three days in one direction. One car will have you walking about 10 miles in and ten miles back to your car. There is what is called the Approach Trail to the AT at...
At 7 miles a day, if you start at the Springer Mountain parking lot, you should make it to Woody Gap. The last 8 or so miles are either really uphill or really down hill. A slow pace is a good thing....
Sounds like a cool trip. That date is the "official opening" of the AT in GA, so there will likely be others to meet/hike with. The trail in GA is beautiful, but can be a bit tough. There is A LOT of...
Wow! What an amazing trek! I've just finished reading through this thread. Man, i am glad your pup is ok. Good luck and God speed on the last leg of it! You're an inspiration.
Never mind, I just found the outings section. :)
That would be great. Are there any hangs nearby soon?
Thanks! Nice to be here.
Welcome from Marietta, GA. I'm new, too.
Welcome from Georgia!
That's the truth! I'm not sure what I was expecting, but one night in a borrowed hammock was all it took. Now, I look around and all of a sudden I have 2 hammocks, two under quilts, top quilts,...
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.
I must admit that I love it here in GA. Marietta is great. It's nice to be near a lot of awesome hiking/hanging what with the AT so near.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been on the forums for a few months now, and I have already learned a lot from the wealth of knowledge here! I am relatively new to the hammock...
To follow up, I just received my mamajamba tarp in the mail. It feels like a feather compared to my trusty Kelty Noah! We have some rain headed our way in a few hours, and I'm thinking it might be...
For what it's worth, I received my shipping notice today at 3AM. It's a USPS tracking number. Based on everyone else's experience, I expect to have a sweet tarp in a 2-3 days.
I ordered a mamajamba on the 31st of Jan, and I'm still waiting on a shipping notification. This is also my first experience with Warbonnet, so I emailed Brandon via the website. He responded quickly...
If you're looking for total, no-worries, zero fiddle factor comfort- you cannot go wrong with a full length under quilt. It eliminates the need for additional insulation (such as pads) as long as you...
I believe that Hammock Gear will make custom length quilts. I have the 20*F Incubator and I have never been cold in it. For warmer temps, I simply don't cinch it up as tight as I normally would. I...
I would do it. I'm new to the forum and I've never been to a group hang- and this is in my neck of the woods. Would love to see some other folks' set-ups and techniques.
Congrats! That's awesome. I'm fairly new to this, too. It's always nice to hear a success story. I also had a successful first hang (with a new under quilt) in similar conditions and I was very warm...
I have an ENO Doublenest, and I love my HammockGear.com Incubator, which is the full length UQ. I have the 20 degree, and am confident that it could keep me comfortable in lower temps. A 0 degree...
I have only recently become a hanger. Several months ago my brother in law got an ENO Hammock and brought it on a hike along the GA part of the AT. He encouraged me to try it out while we were there,...
