I would not have minded seeing you again. The hang in Jan was fun.

Now when I get to my computer I have a lot of pics and two videos of the ride, if anyone has Owl on FB then it will be easy to...

I get along better with people older than me anyways. Do not worry to much about the age difference. I fIgure that there'd be at least one person comming that is in their thirties though.

If my ride can't pick me up or i was able to ride with ya it wouldn't be a problem.

All sounds good so far. The snow plow/beak is what i meant by using the steakouts for "venting" of sorts. I have used a mil spec poncho and a 3 mill trashbag so far as doors but i wanted something...

From my end everything was perfectly fine until i get a call at 7am asking me if i am still alive. (Please note out of eye/earshot) I was told that mom had slept very little and got wet. I decided it...

From Castaway? Owl and I bought a set at out Kmart to play around with and i sometimes use it as a lounger when i am out on day hikes or hanging out at a friend's place that has a set up to hang...

I have family in St. Louis and I don't mind going up to the Arch again but i am not sure i want to go back up to the top. Been there, done that, hate the tiny elevators.

Would love feedback about...

I am sorry Owl and I did not come. We were converting another hammocker in perhaps the worse conditions. I bet ya'll were drier and warmer than Owl and I.

+1 on this. Owl and I both swapped to woopie+biner suspension system and is better weight wise and tension forces i think are greater than the stock rope. I am still a noob so I do not knwo all the...

what does that mean when you decide it is nessicary to vent underneath the tarp when the doors are on (I.E. not so windy but cold day, or a cold day with light precip.). I assume then extra stake...

Awsome! Another new hammocker. Owl and I use to live near Lawton, OK, and I can suggest a few decent hanging spots near there, but it has been 12+ years since we have lived there.

I tend to do 3-3 1/2 season camping here in KC area. I have been wondering if it would be adviseable to buy the door kids for the BMJ and any feedback on experence with them.

The coldest I will...

Welcome to Hammocking and have fun with all your new outdoor adventures with your new shelter, whatever it maybe.

It has come in and it was wonderfully done. I cannot say anything bad about their work. I have not personally slept in my new hammock yet. Unfortunately to those whom thought Owl and I were to be...

Count me in, I already took time off work for it. Getting there isn't going to be a huge issues, but coming back from St. Louis might get interesting for me. I am thinking Amtrack from St. Louis to...

I may take a look at them but you have seen most of my stuff, I should be warm enough. The only people that maybe comming with Owl and I that might need it would be either my twin or my older...

Count me as a maybe. Would have to work things out with my twin brother whom would be the one recieving the set up. I'll keep an eye on this and my money.

I have started some training now to get more distance on these legs so that i can do a 40-60 mile a day thing without too much issues. First i am starting out without much extra weight. Any...

I got the time taken off of work now. I am now 99% sure i can go. Just now have to see how willing Owl is to comming too. That would be WAY too much of a bike ride for me lol.

I was out with my dad Owl at the KC hang in Woodridge. Towelie showed us his adaptation to the MSH and Woopies by using a "skinny biner" in place of the MSH. I prefer this for the simplicity and for...

No doors but have fashioned temporary "grizz beaks" out of a 3 Mil Trash bag, a mil spec syl nylon tarp, and little clips and some 550 cord twice. Works ok in a pinch. I use a BMJ from WB though, i...

I don't know your area well enough to say it but this is my set up temp wise in an HH.

65*F+ (25ish+C) mil spec Poncho Liner (any blanket or light sleeping bag will do)
45-65* F (roughly 15-25*C)...

Will see on that. Tempting for me since i bike all the time here in KC, and i always wanted to see the Katy Trail. My dad is less willing to do a 45-60 mile per day pace bc he hasn't done much biking...

The one and only time i did this was by accident bc i brewed tea before bed and didn't drink it all. I put in tea that was roughly 180* into a nalgene cantene and put it between my legs as everyone...

I will say you are right on the money on all of what you stated. My set up is slightly different since i usually dislike alky stoves unless i am being very very pack concious. I use a gsi kettlist...

partly why I always use a 3 season tent. I didn't get it for the reason of privacy while changing since I am both young and have next to no body shame. I just figured that if people look they look,...

Why I have always had a slight fear of down, and why I only make sure when I do the shell is a tear resistant materal. I tend to use fleece so far. poor ignorant me I guess LOL

90% Possible for me to be able to take the time off and I say a possible 50-70% my whole family will be coming, and possibly all will be hanging. We'll see when it gets closer. Mom will be bringing...

I am a cold sleeper, but if I am not sleeping I am warm and in the mornings I warm up quick as long as I get my feet warm! I am new to hammocking so I am too figuring out what gear works for me but I...

I was converted before I saw Shug's videos, but my dad looked at his videos during his research, so technically, He is also a Shug convert lol.

August 2010, My brothers, my dad, three friends of mine, and I all went out on the first camp-out in years. At this camp-out we were all in tents, but we had one noob hanger that was upset since we...

Hello and Welcome from KC! Yes, we got some hangers in Kansas and Missouri

from personal use, I believe down to roughly 50 with a top quilt, but I tend not to use the wmccf pad much. I gave mine away to my twin brother. I have not YET converted him to hammocking though :(
...

closed cell pad from Walmart, it is usually blue

Same here, but I always have been thinking about it in time. So far I have no problems with my BMJ. Not had the snow but I live in Kansas, so the winds do pick up. I have been in gusts as high as...

Generally I wear odor resistant clothing and change under the tarp, if I am worried about people seeing me naked, I put a mil spec poncho up as a door. Generally, though, I just strip down to my...

Mine looks like this one in the link below. it is almost excually like the orginal buff

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Merino-Wool-Buff-Snood-Gaiter-Colombo/dp/B004AQYZ74

Mine isn't like that. Mine is just like the orginal buff in shape but is made out of 100% merino wool. Link is below.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Merino-Wool-Buff-Snood-Gaiter-Colombo/dp/B004AQYZ74

Generally what I do too, plus if I am more worried about condensation I tie a bandana on the ridgeline over my head and the bandana catches the condensation, just worred it would drip on my head...

I'll let you get it. I may only do 1-3 cold weather hangs a year. I go camping often all year around. I'll look for more down coats if needed or I'll got to Moosejaw. The clothes The clothes I have...

I'll come back to you on this if ya want, I can check the local Eddie Bauer store to see if a Medium of that style will fit me, when I find out, I'll let you know. I am on the edge but I am between a...

I do not know much on this but I think it chould work, but since you have to make a small venting hole for the hose, wouldn't loosening the UQ/POD shock cording for the suspension do the same thing...

No dibs! No Dibs!! haha, I am a size 9.5-10.5 matering on the company and type of shoe.

I might call dibs on the down mocs, I am not sure if I would fit in a meduim but I would like down booties incase I do more cold weather hangs for when I go to sleep. My feet get cold easily. What...

Congratz!!!!!!!!!!! and unfortunately I didn't have the money to get it right now but I want! I hope the baby is healthy

If no other offers come up, I'll take them

I maybe interested after my next payday. I do not need the hammock but if it is still up I may either buy both for $75 or just the hammock for $60 since I still have an extra a-sym tarp from my HH...

Do you have a picture?

I am potentually interested if no one else is up for it. I don't have PayPal right now so I am letting others take it before me.

Owl and I came back around 3:30pm this afternoon from the hang. It was a wonderful place to "hang" out ofcourse.

Mr. Clean, as for your comment, yes the GPS on an android phone will get you close...
