See y'all Tomorrow!
Hey guys,
First of all, a note/question to the admin.... Is cross posting like this permitted? If it is, can you do me a favor and lock this post so discusison occours in the main thread? If...
We are hosting a hang in PA, less than half an hour from Ohio the first weekend of December. Thinking about cross posting it in this forum, but not sure if the Admins are OK with that.
Here is...
PA > WPA > Racoon Creek State Park (Near Pittsburgh) Dec 2-4
Join us for our first Western PA Hang!
Date: December 2-4
Location: Racoon Creek State Park,
Sioux B rustic...
I should be able to make it. If the weather is good, this might be my second Motorcycle camping trip.
See y'all then!

The eno is a marginal hammock. A marginal hammock will make some people uncomfortable, but will work fine for others. It depends on how heavy you are, how tall you are, and how you like to sleep.
...
My ENO is a gear hammock in my hammock room. I use it to hold all of the hammocks and quilts I am currently not using.
Its been years since I have actually used it myself, but if it comes out...
Howdy!
Looking fowrard to seeing Y'all again!
Talox, I am allergic to a bunch of different nuts, but some are OK.
I am OK with Peanuts, Almonds, and Macadamia nuts for sure.

How do ya'll handle dirty dishes at this place? Is there a facility at the nearby campground, or do you pack enough extra water to wash stuff in the woods?
Is there potable water nearby? Or is...
Well.... PTO is approved, and I have ordered a new suspension from Dutch for my Sparrow... so I am thinking this is a go.
How many people would be interested in Omelets and Scrapple Friday or...
Are these sites that you need to be a group to reserve, or can anyone do it? (ie, could I just reserve one of them and stay an extra night?)
I am thinking about coming, but if I do, I either need...
Already have the PTO request entered!
I look forward to seeing Y'all again!
Is there a fountain pen version available? If not, Ill take a Pencil.
Is the Black hardware available at additional cost?
Where is this hang held?
I have a dutch webbing suspension on the hammock in my living room. Gets used several times per day on most days, and has been in service for three years. Sometimes, it even gets out of the house.
Congrats on entering a new chapter of your lives.
I have lived in the Pittsburgh area for about four years now. If there is anything having a local around to scout for would be helpful for, let...
Thank you to everyone who made this a great event.
Ive been with my wife for nearly 10 years, and this is the first time I have ever gotten her to go camping. She had a great time, I had a great...
Donna,
Thank you for keeping this thing going. Is there a planning thread yet for things you need people to bring and such?
I hope to see you all in a few months!

Thank you all for another Amazing MAHAA... I can't wait for Fall :)
--Brian (K5BPC)
Ian,
That is the worst possible reason to be grounded from the hammock :( We are sorry for your loss, and wish the best for you and your family.
--Brian
Howdy,
Wife would like me to bring a new in box Yogurt machine for the raffle. Would this be an appropriate gift for the group?
Thanks!
--Brian
A mat in a single layer is a disaster, in my opinion.
Tried it once, never again :)
Grew up in Annville, now living in Pittsburgh.
I love Wellsboro, been up there for work a few times. Beautiful area!
--Brian
Once upon a time, when shopping for a house, my wife and I sat on a cute porch swing at a house we where looking at. The swing was hung a little high... she had to slightly hop into it. It was a...
Let us know how those straps work out for you. The earlier ones Eno made where a miserable failure... things stretch like crazy. Hopefully, these guys are much better.
I had the oppertunity to meet and chat with the Q family at Mahaa.... great folks. Would definatly do business with them :)
Eno hammocks are wonderful, but their straps are utter garbage. If you want straps, return them and get some strap suspension from Warbonnet. Or, if you want to use Woopie slings, order tree hugers...
Well, it looks like we have some interest :)
I think Ill start visiting some potential sites and making some calls.
More info to come soon!
Edit: Ya'll typically free on weekends? F-S-S...
If you are going to use straps... I love the ones I got from warbonnet outdoors on my eno. 300 pounds.... solid as a rock. They even fit in the stuff sack with the hammock and their biners.
Howdy!
Just curious how many would be interested in group hangs around Pittsburgh PA and the surrounding areas.
If there is interest, Ill start scouting out places. If you have any suggestions,...
Thank you all for such a wonderful time at my first proper hang (more than two overnighters hangers.)
I had an absolutely wonderful time, and look forward to dragging my wife with me to the next...
Thank you for the Awesome event... already looking forward to the next one!
The first link does not work, but the second does.
Thank you!
Diva... When I was tearing down, I found another one of your Flashlights. I gave it to USMCStang since I recon you'll see him before me most likely.
--Brian
Diva, Thank you for the invite and the chat.. it was great meeting you and Gutter. I had a good time hanging out with USMCStang... and managed to stay dry just fine with my 7*9 tarp. Its a pitty...
Much swearing... the sewing went great until time to do some kind of footbox.
I decided to use Gorilla tape to mock up the foot box and make sure it was how I wanted it before sewing. BAD IDEA. ...
Howdy!
I am going to be building a Top Quilt tonight (material arrived yesterday). If I can get it together today, Ill be planning on leaving work to head over that way tomorrow in the early...
Just as a followup... I did eventually buy and deploy these slides. I use them to suspend a compression pole from my back porch.. the entire setup seems completely rock solid. If it drops me, Ill...
Welcome from Pittsburgh, PA.
Sounds like you picked up some awesome gear... I would love to try out one of them Blackbird hammocks.... If I ever buy another hammock that will probably be it.
...
If ENO used the same quality of Down that our cottage vendors do, and pushed their products out to REI et all, there might not be enough high fill down to go around. It is entirely possible that...
If I where you, Id be planting a few more. Otherwise, you might wait 15 years, set up your hammock, and let your wife try it.... only for her to claim it. One more tree in a triangle might at least...
Howdy folks...
If yall have room for a newbie who would love to try a hang.... I might be able to make this one. You guys are about a Three hour drive from my new home in Pittsburgh.
If you...
+1 for interested... ill be keeping an eye on this thread for further details.
Think Yall will be doing this again in 2013?
Thanks!
--Brian
Howdy,
I just want to thank all of you for your responses, especially RamblinRev and Warbonnetguy. I just came home from Walmart with a roll of "Upholstery" thread, which is Nylon, Extra Strong,...
The KAQ links I have found seem to be broken.. does anyone have a working link to plans or instructions?
Thanks!
If you want to go cheap, get some Rachet straps at Walmart. Look for the 1500lb ones.
If you want to go for the most awesome straps ever, order webbing straps from warbonnetoutdoors.com.
I love...
Cabelas and Walmart probably both have shock cord with their tent repair stuff too.
I wouldn't trust a roofrack either..... You are braver than I.
Lol... I don't even drink beer, but even I think that is hilarious :) Thank you for the laugh... I hope the vengeance isn't too painful :)
How does that walmart polyester stuff stack up to the fancy REI and like poly stuff? Is it worth the difference, or is the walmart stuff just as effective?
