I plan to attend as well. I will arrive Friday, tomorrow. I am looking forward to another time in the woods. :D

I would like to add my experience and thoughts.

Have a plan. Know where you are going and how to get there. Make sure you leave the itinerary with someone you know, so if something happens and you...

Reading this report brought back a lot of memories. I hope to join you again in the future. :unsure:

I want to thank everyone who posted images and reports of the hike. The video was great as well. I want to thank O-Boy for nudging me to go on this hike, it is much appreciated. I am sorry that there...

I will break my long absence from the outdoors and attend. :) I, like most of you, will attempt to bring a lighter pack due to me not hiking for a few months. I always enjoyed this hike and the long...

I will make sure that I make this hang. I have not been on one in a long time. :(

Yeah I agree, the problem with meetup.com is the lack of a community focus of the website as a whole. It is just a random aggregation of groups. A completely random assortment of people will sign up...

That is strange since they let us in, as long as they where sure we did not have a vehicle. I believe it was obvious to them since we really did appear to be hikers. I am sorry we did not link up...

I have entered this hang into my calender and I will make sure I attend. It has been a little too long from my last hang. I look forward to this one.

I will hike in from Patt's Island on the 15...

I plan to make this hike. I am planning on arriving at the trail head in the afternoon and then hike in and meet everyone at the Gator Hole campsite. I have never been to the Green Swamp, so I am...

It was a fun and relaxing trip as you can see from the posted photos. The one with me covered in ashes is classic. I think it was an accurate statement for how relaxing the whole weekend was. I...

I am sorry I missed the hang.:scared::cursing: Better luck next time. Thanks for the trip reports and photos.

I will attend. Friday through Sunday. I will hopefully arrive in the morning. I will be hiking on the Bay Trail. I highly recommend this trail if you want to avoid sugar sand.

I am glad everyone had a good trip. Thanks for the report.

My trip started early Friday morning at 7:00am. I packed my final gear into my pack and hit the road. I encountered an extremely scary accident scene on I-95 just before exit 191. Apparently a...

So we are looking at over 30 people for this hang:woot: Our hammocks will be spread out a little bit. I wonder if other parties will arrive, that could get interesting. I hope everyone shows. ...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I feel as though I have cabin fever.:bored: It seems to me that the same behavior I had in the depths of winter are appearing here during the highs of summer. I...

I will be there for sure this time. :lol: I will arrive Friday morning at Patt's Island and hike in along the Florida Trail. I can't wait to see everyone there. I will stay through Sunday and...

Great report Floridahanger! Thanks for writing it. Thanks everyone for posting their photos. I wish I could have been there.

Sorry guys I could not make it. It was not the weather that kept me out, it was a personal issue that I had to deal with. :( From the photos on the other thread, it looks like conditions where...

Sorry everyone, but I am not able to make this hang. I hope everyone has a great time out there. Please stay cool.

I will have to attend. I don't have a time table yet. All of this high heat and no rain is making me come down with cabin fever. If these temps hold all the way until the hang, I will have to bow...

I just wanted to check in and thank everyone. I want to thank jem and jimj for the wonderful food they shared. Richtorfla for the beer and knot lesson. SandyKayak for even more food. Samsara for...

I will be able to attend. Saturday morning will be my arrival.

I will be arriving Saturday morning in the AM. I don't know when I will get out there. Don't wait for me. If I miss you guys; I will follow and meet up at the campsite in the evening.

I am...

I will be attending this hang. Too early to know if it will be Friday evening or Saturday morning, but I will be there.

I broke the rules on this hike. I decided to hike starting from the southern end of School Bus Road, a total of 6 miles from the campsite. I know it was supposed to be the Sherpa hang, but I wanted...

Well that is going to suck. :thumbdown: I hope you can find employment locally in Florida.



I remember you mentioned this to me last year. I wish you the best of luck in your new endevours. ...

It looks like I will be attending. I look forward to hanging with everyone. See you then.

That read like a great trip. I hope to make the next one. Thanks everyone for the reports. :)

I may be able to do this one. I have never been to the Green Swamp, although it is on my list of places to visit. My concern is the length of the hike, I would have a hard time with an 18 mile day....

Thanks for the report everyone. It read as if everyone had a great time. Sorry I was unable to attend.

I guess you where lucky Samsara. Would you have even thought to call animal control to see if they found Scooby? Do you think Scooby was trying to find you when she left the house?

On another...

I, of course, will have to attend. I need to get out of town. Saturday morning is thie time I can make it, I will not be able to leave early on Friday. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Welcome from Melbourne. I hope to see you on the trail.

I, of course, will have to attend. :shades: I can't pass up an opportunity to hang with the great people from the forum. If Timberr and Gumbo really need packs, they can always hike over to Travel...

That looks like a very interesting area, given its past geological history. Thanks for sharing the images! I also liked your cathole, very creative.

I have nothing else to add to the report. It was great meeting Tom, Wafflebox and firefly1024. I hope to see you at future hangs. Thanks everyone for joining the hang it was great fun!

Although...

I plan to arrive at Pats Island at 3 pm. I will probably arrive in camp around 5 ish or a little before. Can't wait to see everyone again.

I am going to go ahead and throw my hat in the ring as well. I will be there. Friday afternoon is my target, if I can put the time in at work during the week. If not, Saturday morning I will show...

You have to find a balance. From my experience, I have a hard time with one or the other. I need both. Most of the fun happens around the fire after the sun has set. For me, that leaves the day...

Thanks for the trip report. I am glad you had a great time.

My trip was different of course. I wanted to get some distance during this trip and actually hike during the weekend not just to a particular point and setup camp. Also, my arrival was pushed off...

Unfortunately, I will not be able to arrive until Saturday morning (don't ask) ;). I want to put in some miles this weekend so my hike will be the long way along the creek past Creek Side and Lake...

I am glad you both made it. I would love to see more pictures if you have them. Would you recommend that trip to other bikers?

More justification for my avoidance of state parks. I am sure next year they will require 3" straps and posts to be present, with an additional fee attached. I hope you guys don't let that ruin the...

I will also be attending. Friday afternoon will be my target. It would be nice for more people to attend besides the usual suspects.

Great selfie MAD! It sure looks like you guys had fun. Thanks for posting the photos.

I really wanted to join everyone out there, but I have family visiting this week. They will be here through to next week. I will have to catch the next one.

I have had an issue with pressure on my calf until I took the advice of hanging the head end of the hammock lower. I now hang with a suspension angle of about 30 degrees with the head end about 6...
