Hey man - if it gets people out there enjoying the great outdoors, then whatever. If the hammock sticks for them, I'm sure most will eventually find their way to something better. I've seen several...
You are using almost exactly what I started with. I don't have a bug net though (I smoke cigars under my tarp, seems to work like a champ, lol). I would say that if you are sleeping good already, ...
Hi Jerry! I may head down that way for at least a night. Not super familiar with the area, do you know what trail(s) lead to that or have gps coords?
Looks those guys are local to Indianapolis. Got my order today, was totally surprised. I'll have to make it a point to order from them more often. Any time I can support a local shop, I'm all...
I burned through 180' pretty quick. At that price, I don't think I would even question if I needed that much or not. I'm ordering one now!
Funds sent, thank you much!
I'll take it.
I'll take it - Inc 40
*** Update - Funds sent ***
I'm in, happy holidays!
I don't know much about that area. What's Salamonie State Forest like? I was planning to hit that area this Spring.
P.S. For you Ft.Wayne area folks. My band is gonna be playing at Pierre's on...
Because this is a family show... I'll keep the obvious joke to myself. I said out loud with my wife in the room and got the "stop being a 15yr old boy" stink eye glare. That said. I'm not 6'5...
I'm lazy and just pull two strands. Works for me but I'm pretty stubborn too. ;)

So I just dug this out of my mom's storage. Hard part was threading and the bobbin spoiling. Now to get some...
Pmd no contact. Email addy bounced
You sure? You were ahead of me. I didn't see your post in tapatalk else I wouldn't have posted
I'll take it
Thanks for the tips guys. I'm definitely not looking to restore or work on the machine myself. I just don't have the time for that between all of the other stuff I enjoy doing. My mom has one of...
Also a Dressmaker 950 w/stand for $50. Haha, I have no idea what any of this is. LOL.
I've DIY'd plenty in my time. Why not this too? So, I'm looking at sewing mach.... sorry, thread injectors, and have realized how completely and utterly ignorant I am regarding these machines. ...
No one can see you if you're camouflaged! :shades:
I honestly can't answer your question. Seems like a lot folks think they need to camo everything these days. Maybe this is just one of those...
Biggest problem I've had with bigger line, is getting it tight across longer expanses. That added weight just seemed to always create a dip in the center, no matter how tight I could get it by hand....
I wouldn't say it's a good choice, but it will work. Tarp gear wise... the lines were the last thing I bought. I made mason's line work for quite some time. It wasn't ideal, by any stretch of the...
At the REI garage sale, I came across one of these. Funny part is... I just assumed it was nothing more than a bug net. I didn't really look too closely at it until I got it home. I thought to...
I'll take the stove
Do the arms on the snow peak fold up, or is it small enough to fit in the gsi dualist cook set?
It is looking like I may not be able to make this now. Still a glimmer of hope, so I'm not counting myself out yet.
Welcome to the club
I just came away with an osprey xenith 88 for $100. Scored two sets of snake skins too
I am 6'2" and robust (260#). I have a warbonnet traveler and love it. Looking forward to getting the XLC. Though honestly I'm really intrigued with the idea of going with a 12' hammock.
Had a tree get struck by lightning once. You could see the scorch patterns in the grass around it. Upwards of 15' away from the trunk of the tree. I would think avoid tree's all together would be...
OK, so we definitely aren't going to make this. Wife neglected to mention that we had a wrestling match to attend... Step-son's last year to wrestle HS, so we're making an effort to catch every...
Two separate 12' lines (zing-it) with DutchWare Gear for hardware (hooks, and stingerz). Being that I'm not an ultralight guy... I also carry a 30' line as well, that I can use if needed. Before I...
It was everything on the shelf. My brother ended up getting a pad when we went back to get a different camp stove, and I bought another one while I was there. LOL
So this weekend I ended up using the stuff sack my WB superfly came with, as a pillow. I had it stuffed with all of my other empty stuff sacks, and a couple of t-shirts I had with me. Worked great,...
Just wondering if some of you are more conscious about staying hydrated while out on the trail than you would otherwise?
Make it a giant sand box and do a tiki bar theme? :). I know that isn't stoable tho but replenishing washed out sand wouldn't cost a fortune
I used a cheap sunshade and a thermarest camp rest pad. Worked great this weekrnd. Got down to about 39 I think.
Was at Wal-Mart tonight and decided to look at the camp gear... Then I saw this.

So I bought two. I think I'm...
Welcome to the site. The nerd in me has spotted a ham operator's call sign... or just my imagination?
what is your budget? Is the weenie still an option, or is it a bit too pricey? I think with the mod it comes in at about $75? If so, you can swing the DWG hammock, complete with whoopie hook...
sign me up for some of this action please!
We introduced my daughter to camping using tents. I let her own curiosity with my hammock setup, pull her into the dark side. On two trips I used my hammock, and on the third trip she wanted to...
When on tour we often sleep in really quiet places. To get around that I have a white noise playlist on my iPod.
Yeah, i'm expecting that we'll have to hike some from the river to get onto the trail itself. Just trying to find spots that aren't as difficult as others. I certainly wouldn't want to hold you...
Turns out the wife gifted the kindle to her sister. Sorry, thought I might have been able to help.
Hmm, all of the places I thought would be good spots are terrible spots. Haha, I'm going to have to sit down with google earth for a bit and figure this one out. Turns out, there original spot I...
Pics or it didn't happen... I know, but I felt the need to update this post. I'll have pics coming this weekend when I get a chance to setup all of this gear when I go camping on Friday.
...
Hmm. I might squeeze in some fishing on the Ohio. I'll need to figure out launch options and what not. Would hate to be that close to the river and not get my boat a little wet!
I can't make all of those dates but I might be able to meet up with you on the trail over that weekend. Where about is it?
