Thanks sir.. pretty good find, maybe a better flip.
Hello folks, picked up a working Pfaff Hobbylock 796(?) Serger at a yard sale this weekend. Lots of experience with the Singer HD thread injectors, but have you all been using Sergers for any DIYs,...
I do similar, but between Costco and Underquilt (which is snugged to hammock as normal), I try to leave a gap (fiddle factor), that small amount of air gap in there will also trap a little heat that...
I was told just the opposite about USPS, they prioritize "Priority Mail", because if lost or significantly late they have to settle on Insurance. First Class is treated as "economy", and in the...
Degenerative disc (between L3 and L5), with quite a few bulging discs and small non-cancerous tumors in Dura... had Lower Back pain maybe 20 years. 3 things I have found... a) ultralight is more...
Love that, what underquilt are you rocking?
Heres one from a long time ago, $15/night. Even have some showers available, something you may want if on the road the next morning. Pretty close to 75

Thanks all for the recommends.
Making a quick trip down to Columbia SC, thought I might stay overnite in GSMNP... this campground, anyone have any experience there or close by that is hammock friendly? Will be car camping it as I...
Looking to do this at least on Friday night
For the Saturday breakfast, 2 lbs Sausage and 2 or 3 onions?
Looks like I am going to be able to make it at least Friday night.
+1 on Auxier Ridge, so many different Vistas to see in the dawn/daybreak its unreal. Love the view from Haystack. Planning on going up there next Thursday and ending up at Hansons Point Friday...
Just about everything I use now (Pack, Quilts, Hammocks) are DIY, only have myself to blame for something that doesn't meet expectation... Its rather satisfying when you "Nailed it"!
Welcome, I also hail from Lexington... there is a hang in Louisville area late april, would be a good way to meet up some of the Bluegrass folks. Love the sheltowee hammocks, made right here in Lex!
Stroopwaffel?
I run 18" into the channel, and secure one end with bartack. pull other end to 24" and bartack. Gives me 6" of tension on cord, enough to keep out the flop. Have both sides down about 18" from the...
Loving Dutchwares dehydrated water, now base gear weight is total weight!
Bought one for 55 at bargain hunt in Lexington, but you can find much cheaper than 130. good strong machine!
This one will happen to you guys at one time or another in your future, get ready to laugh! Midnite run to a nearby downhill tree, relieve internal pressure, head back to hammock. Of course with...
Sprint you have on most of the ridges, last weekend couldn't go to Auxier area due to the forest fire. Stay out of the valleys about now, youll stay warmer. Some pretty nice campsites on south side...
For a couple of hammocks I did the W whipping, on the foot end only. Broke the width into 4 sections, and deeper cut into inner corners by 6 inches. This seemed to create a shape I will loosely...
I have the 23, its a solid good machine. Lighting is no good, fixed me up an LED flashlight to supplement. I don't use the needle threader but love the stitch combinations.
Looks like the house hunters Saturday are taking the bait, might be a little before some spare machine time but I got you on the possibles list!
Great time out, I enjoyed the fellowship Friday Night! Looking forward to some more, wish I could have hit the trails there Saturday. With all the pines and maples creakin and crackin Saturday...
Welcome all from Lexington!
As of now, looks like Friday night I will be able to come out. Got to leave Saturday night, but lookin forward to some hang time!
Whats a Bieber?

Reducing inventory... need to let er go, but still got my Turtledog. This one folds fairly easy, and no centerline bar to bust your back. Letting it go...
That is correct sir. And those 2 campsites are awesome, but the path to them is a little screwed up (4 foot tall pine trees lol).
BigE, Outrageous Maps has a good Topo set for RRG, cant go wrong with that one.
Degenerative Disc Disease L4-5-6, cant sleep on the ground for more than 3 hours before heavy pain... that diagonal lay with a gentle curve, most times I sleep about 8-9 hours, and wake very...
Just put in for Vacay that weekend... hoping to get into this trip.
You're a tool dude. Anyone can install a carburetor on a car, but to get it to run right takes a tool guy, that understands a machine, and how to optimize it. A thread Injector is a sewing MACHINE....
Welcome to the forums... I'm in Lexington also. RRG absolutely rocks, lots of hangers in the area.
Well, this is awesome! Count me in!
Go Big Blue.... Lexington Hanger here also! Welcome!

Halo from Lexington. Welcome!
Looks Gold and White to me, probably defective. You can just send it to me!
Hello from Lexington! Love the RRG, awesome for backcountry. There is a hang there weekend of 3/14 with a group here, look up funky pig hang!
Hansons point, Staircase, along the Sheltowee, you...
Binder clips of various sizes to hold material, find them in Staples pretty cheap, cheaper at Dollar General.
Taped small magnet to Sewing Machine (around non-moving motor or mechanism area) to...
Looks like I am able to get to this one.... but will need to come out after work Friday afternoon. Where should I expect to find everyone?
Bargain Hunt Store, Don't know if you have one in your area, last night scored a new in box Singer HD 4423 for $65! Best Walmart price, $139. Check your area, all the Sewing Machines 30% off.
Not sure how he has gathered the ends, and if it is truly rectangle or trapezoid for hammock body. Best way to determine if possible, reverse your lay and see if it gives you same comfort level...
Welcome to HF from Lexington. Many a low-cost method for insulation and tarps here, need to know if you are going light weight or not so long a hike + car camping.
Hola from Lexington!
You can get thru this addiction on the cheap starting out. A lot of the high cost runs are for people needing to make quick decisions based on activities.... if you are a long distance hiker, you...
