A BIG appetite and a hearty thank you will most likely be enough.

There always seams to be enough to go around with leftovers.

Others may have a different take on that so, you may wish to wait...

Lemmmeee think about this. People in their twenties at the hang, perhaps talking of what they plan to do and places they plan to see rather than those of us who are a bit older [ not much, only 50...

**** !@#$ !*&^$(( @!$@#$ Class Schedule has changed. A class on the 9th and one on the 11th.

Will not make it to the hang #$@#!^&@$#^&

The good news is, there will be enough food for...

nudge nudge.

Hummmm, I'm not even sure if the rest of Louisiana even claims Baton Rouge as a part of the state. For sure the traffic will make you want to leave. I think it's even worse [ if possible ] than...

Looking at the spreadsheet, there are six and a possibility of one more to make seven non-Texans going to be in attendance.

That should make the odds about even. Possibly slanted a bit in our...

What would be available in the area for things to see and do ?. A place to hang with nothing but a stream would be questionable at best.

Lemmmeeee see if I can drag this back to page 1.

Mr. Google seams to indicate that the camp ground is between the BIG lake and a side portion of the lake. If this is true, My question would be, how far is it from the camping area to the water ?.
...

I'm not positive, however, I think you are already lost.

Were you thinking about the Butt Bake Campout when making this post ?.

Don't try the ridge pole. [ don't ask ] I'll tell you. I tried one. Two 7ft sections with a 3ft slip joint in the center. I put a dowel 1 1/2 ft into one end, the male portion, and fixed it in...

This site will es-plain it better than I ever could. It's really not that hard and the result as you can see is very strong.

I had some extra fence boards [ cedar ] laying around after a canoe repair. I made sone faux birds mouth poles and they seam to work with no problems. The metal on each tripod weighs more than the...

Might as well add mine to the mix.

Buy the Vertex. Leave the wife at home. Keep one side for yourself. Fill the other side with ice and beer. Drink lots of beer so you will be numb. Then when the wife whapps you upside your head with...

Man, Y’all are killing me. Next year there has to be a bit of give and take on the time and location for the “ MAJOR “ hangs. One hang would be fantastic. Just think, 75 - 125 hangers, Great food...

Well, a little late to the party, as usual. But, I have a question for the engineers out there.

With the stress put on the top rail, would a three piece rail , 6’ center & 3’ end sections handle...

This being “ the South “ there are three fall months with weather suitable for comfortable hanging. That gives us 11 or 12 weekends from which to pick dates. It is unfortunate that there are always...

Someone will most likely correct me but. If memory serves, sites 8.9.11&13 are the most open sites.

I intend to show up either Wed or Thurs. hopefully can get site 6 [ there are, or were, two...

J Z, Have you looked at the Alexander Forest WMA ? Got about everything needed I think. Don't know about hanging but could call if you wished.

Just something to look at.

Oh, in case you are...

Sorry this took so long. But, I'm lazy.

If anyone wishes to see the set ups we had, go here [ I hope ].

Waiting on a call back from Jhonson Creek Park http://www.recreation.gov/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=71234

It is on the North side of Lake of Pines. Gate guard said nothing...

Being so close, I'd remiss in not showing up.

FINALLY, got cleared by the Dr. today. New eyes are O K to go. Will show up around noon thirty Thursday [with better than 20/20 vision ]. Now to find a spot to hang.

So much for getting there today. Dr. took 4 hrs and now a 2-3 hr wait for meds.

See y’all around 10 ish or so tomorrow.

The one ting that seams to deter many hangers, on group outings, is a lack of privacy. There is no place to change clothes except laying in the hammock and squirming.

Since this is a drive in...

Grunt, groan, OUCH just pinched a finger. Push, again darn it just can’t seam to make progress. Anybody out there know how to push a thread ?.

Perhaps I’ll go to the other end and pull for a bit....

As much as I hate to say it. At this time, things are starting to look iffy for me to attend. My bride of 43 years has severe rheumatoid arthritis and gets embril shots to relieve the pain and allow...

Nudge Nudge, drag, tug, pant, pant. Push , Call for help. drag some more. Get a running start and really slam into it.

Dayam, it's sure hard work gitting this out of the cellar and into the light.

O K if that is where y'all want it, could someone give the spot ?.
GPS cords would be nice.The trail covers a lot of ground.

Also, if there is a 1.5 mile hike to get to the campground, for those...

ARRRRGHHHH, :scared:

That is the weekend I have already committed to a canoe trip in MO.

Looks as if I will have to wait until spring.

Here ya go

Was looking forward to a nice float and hang. :) I just got word that a long delayed project for the Webster Parrish, La. tourism board is on for Fri. the 3rd. Got to do it, :( so, I will not be...

Bump, Bump,grumble,curse, drag.

Dayam this is hard work getting this on to the first page.

I'm to old for this. One of the youngsters should lend a hand.

3-4-5 June sounds doable [I hope]

Since I have no weight considerations, I attached the fixed loop of my whoopies to the loop in the stock rope on my 250. The adjustable loop clips into a biner which is also clipped to the tree...

For my 250, as soon as I find enough loose change in the WallMart parking lot, I am going to order the Clark inserts/under quilt thingees .

Using them, you still have almost full use of the...

WOW, I was not aware of the " Wash to Soften" thing.

Perhaps I should take back my tongue in cheek statement about the noise.

I used tyvek for a sail one time and the noise was awful. :scared:

Ear Plugs :lol:

1st need . nuff said.


But, will add more. It is a pump to use type but, also has a hanging bag system.

I have used mine to get water out of the bayou in back of the house. Mud, crud and...

Howdy, There is another hiker/backpacker who lives in Ruston, LA. name


taedawood hie Email is the name at yahoo.com perhaps you could hook up for some hikes and hangs.

Frac -Q comes to mind [ but that could be taken to extremes] :scared:


So, I suggest "The Kestrel" [ a small falcon that uses other birds nests.]

For all y'all who know about such things.

Is there a "standard ratio" of how much pole to bury for a given length ?.

The telephone pole and shed work but I get to many night visitors. local...

As someone who has just recently become a “hanger” , I was very impressed with the willingness of everyone at the hang to take the time to explain how ,why and what they were using for hammocks and...

Yup,

I suppose I should consider putting something together since I am leaving in the morning.

See y'all around noonish.

Ya never know what is just around the corner

http://www.abc.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/hammock.gif

I think that the folks who are worried about changing haven't been to the beach in a while. Even in skivies, you have more covered than 90% of the people on the beach.

It is a non issue for me.

I plan on getting there around noonish on friday. Is anyone going to be around to point us to the right sites ? :confused:

It be 420 miles from F Vile to Fairfield, TX.

Zip on down next month for the hang. Bet you will see LOTS of different setups.

Canoe ? did I hear someone mention a canoe ?

I am never far away from one.
