Robin I believe there is good interest. But not a lot we can do until the river comes up. I prefer to do the section above White Springs. If you and others want to go sooner than later I suggest...
Ron I would too just waiting for water lol. We had such a good time before. Soon as it gets there I'll get a date.

Look at white springs level. When it's showing 55' or above its good paddling.
The response to this is awesome. Thanks really thought I'd be lucky to get 4-5. Lol let's start getting a head count together. So we can get a idea. Please add your name and paste to keep it going....
Sorry guys I've been really busy and Thanks Robin for the pm I've been watching the levels and she is still pretty low. I do have a kitchen pass for a trip in Feb but I would really like to see it...
Thanks I'll let him know.
Firesweeper what's the age's of your son's? I've been trying to get my 8yr old out and other young guys would maybe help the sell.
I was out there weekend before last and no difference in the water level. We had a good rain that evening but water was still warm at knee depth while filtering.
I was back at hidden pond last night and it was pretty nice. Evening rain cooled it off and was real pleasant. Bugs weren't to bad but humidity rolled back in right before bedtime. Didn't need any...
If some one does not have a canoe/kayak and no one is able to loan them one they can rent one from the outfitter used for the shuttle service. When I start the thread after the first of the year I...
You will have to let me know how the mosquitos are. I checked the river level yesterday and it was at 50' at white springs so I'd be interested also to know if you have any portaging to do other than...
Lol deck mounted paintball guns?
man this gonna turn into a huge float hang. Lol I was expecting like 6 or 7 at most. I may take up some help as we get nearer and the numbers stay high. May need to break into a couple groups at camp...
I have been a lurking member for a few years and this was the first hang that I was able to make. All I can say I s this was a great first impression. It was warm but being a Florida native nothing...
Great interest! After the first I'll start a planning thread.
Feb or March it really depends on water level or willingness to paddle.
Yes but there is the potential for submerged logs so you would have to make that call. Doesn't the drive lift out and you can use it as a paddle yak?
I'm planning on coming Friday morning to beat the heat as well. Might have a friend coming too. I'll meet who ever is coming early to walk in so I can learn the trail or I can follow tracks either...
Alright now we are getting a group! Right after the first of the year we will watch the river level and do the best to plan dates that works for all before the level drops.
FYI I'm all about...
You got it. I will keep this thread going until we get a group together then we could start a planning thread. Or have an Admin rename it for us.
I should add if you've never been to Big Shoals It...
Thanks guys if I can it will be Friday and leave Saturday for my sons B-day. Let you know by this Saturday.
I have a classic and really dig this set up. I can already see my wife's eyes rolling. Gonna borrow your idea thanks
Is there a map showing the west trail and parking? The couple maps I've looked at doesn't show it.
Thanks
Wanted to find other hangers that may be interested in a 5 day 4 night river trip from Fargo Ga to White springs Fl. It's roughly a 56 mile trip. I'm be done this trip twice before and is an awesome...
I prefer to have someone stay in or near camp. Unless during hunting season I'm usually near my camp or packing up and heading to the next.
Earth tones are what I prefer to wear and have equipment in. Same as stated above I just like to be apart of nature and not stick out. Unless you have a cold camp most folks can smell or see your...
Great pics so far. There really should be a ton more!
I vote for Green.
Florida welcomes you!
Welcome from Florida. Your gonna learn alot and don't be afraid to ask everyone is helpful.
Last fall the wife and I took our little one to a Nat park and still had the argueeing couple problem. 2 hours of the cussing. Talked to the ranger and she said sheriff won't respond unless someones...
35721 A little island on the Withlachochee River that is great for hanging.
Yes thank you.
There are tricks to saving the cambium layer on branches. Look at "sherril tree" catalog and look up cambium savers there are a few types. Bad part is you do have to carry a little more. I'm an...

Nope I'm ready! Just been playing with a new pack and getting it ready.
Just realized that I never did the intro. I joined almost a year ago and was looking forward to the Ocala Hang. But due to a health scare my focus had to change for a little while. All is good and...

That is great. Couple more years and I'll have to copy your design. How does he do in his hammock all night? Just curios my youngest is 3. When did you start him?
Guy's and Gal's I'm leaving Mon. for Tenn with the bride for a few days in Cades Cove. When I get back I would be glad to help plan the meals. Or Deff help out with the sous chef duties. Background=...
I've have a Dutch oven and a Fryer with a big SS pot plus a couple of lp bottles. I also have a W.W.II feild oven that can tag along!
Great Idea!
How was it done last year? Were all meals prepared together or some done on your own? Doesn't Matter just so us that were not there last year can plan. Or maybe we can team up and everyone cook...
Don't Hang in Glory.
