Wish so much we could be there. Dale's Mom has been suffering for a while with Alzheimers so we have been absent from the hangs. Hope everyone has a great time.

Beccy, I got the breathable one.

I wanted to order a underquilt protector to see how it did blocking wind. I wasn't sure what to expect and thought it would just be a utilitarian type of thing. I was surprised when it came and I...

The mail was just delivered and our Black Friday Sale Zeppelin 0 degree purple underquilt is here!! It is so beautiful, a work of art. Thank you Paul and Missy for the incredible product, not to...

Thanks Greg. That is helpful. I just ordered my materials from Diy Gear Supply. I hope the project goes well.

I admit I love Paypal. Enough that I will seek out vendors that accept it because it is easy to buy from them. I like to only use my credit card for things that I have to like making reservations....

Ok. O&B talked me into doing the grosgrain all the way around for...

Thank you everyone! I think I will do the grosgrain at the pull outs and just fold and sew the rest.

Thanks O&B, I have seen that in the pictures. I am not sure what that material is or where I may buy it?

I scored a beautiful working Kenmore 1516 sewing machine for $5 this weekend! I have not used a sewing machine in 20 years .

I am excited to make some gear and want to start with Grizz Beaks for...

Thanks for posting this. We had a similar experience here in SC without the wind. Dense fog came in during the night. I woke at 4 am to drops of water falling on the tarp, but it was not raining. I...

Thanks Doogie. I loved the snow hang pics you posted in another thread. I hope to experience that once we get it all figured out.

Here is an update on this. It was 26 degrees last night. The coldest we have had so far to test. We set up the hammocks on the porch. My Dutch stuff has not come in yet, so we rigged the...

Thanks Shug. Great video! It looks like I may not have it pulled high enough.

Thanks Artjrk. Haha! I was very bundled up. I will try your suggestions. We should be getting in the 20's this week and I will so some tests. :D



This could be an issue because I had the...

Thanks Dutch, we will make an order!

We were able to test gear this weekend and Fri night the low was 32 degrees.
We were using tablecloth DIY hammocks. I tried and tried to get the under quilt snug up to the hammock but I don't think...

Congrats on your new underquilt Jazame! Purple is an awesome color, My hubby got a topquilt from Paul and Missy ( also purple!) and it is his pride and joy.
We enjoyed meeting y'all and Spike at...

Nice! Enjoy your new Burrow!

Thank you for this idea. This will solve my storage problem perfectly and neatly. Right now I have big black bins stashed here and there that must go.

Looks like a great trip! Spam and Pop Tarts just make the woods a better place heehee!

Thank you for the replies. I will see about making the pad wider. I have also been looking at the Gossemer Gear pad, it is wider and softer.

I hope to have some things at the doorstep from Dutchware tomorrow too!

We recently ordered an Underground Quilts 0 degree top quilt. We bought it sized to fit our very tall, broad shoulderd, eldest son for when he camps with us. When he is not camping with us, my...

Thanks Cowboy. I am working on simplifying the whole setup. It should not take so long and be so frustrating to get it all hung correctly.

Ok thank you everyone! I have been looking at diagrams and I think I understand it.
Where would be a good place buy zing it at a good price? What length should I buy for each tarp you think?

Thank you. What type if line should I use for a continuous ridgeline? I will need to make it for 4 hammocks.

Thanks Bla. The henneseys don't have a ridgeline, just end tie outs. Should I get one for it? I need to make it quicker to set up the tarp.

We have Hennessey Hex tarps. I am looking for the cheapest easiest way to be able to quickly adjust it to center it over the hammock. Any suggestions?

Welcome! I am so sorry about the loss of your Conure. I have a Sun Conure, his name is Cheeto.

Chris, we enjoyed meeting you and hearing about your adventures! Hope to see you at the next one.

The Fall Sprawl was our first group hang. Rev was a gracious host. He had a gleaming castle of...

I like to rationalize the expense like this also. It is cheaper than many other hobbies that some of our friends have. What it gives back in terms of enjoyment is much more than the cost. Who needs a...

Welcome GG ! It was great to meet you at the Sprawl!

Welcome Shutter! We enjoyed meeting you at the Fall Sprawl. We look forward to seeing your pics!

Look forward to meeting you zukiguy! Safe travels.

I had everything together, bacon was laced, everything packed.
Boy did I try to talk za_claw into going tonight after work but he had to work...

That is awesome! I am going to show this to my son, he will be very impressed!

CS, are you a writer? Very well stated.

I have been getting all our things together. All of our things seem to smell of old campfire smoke...I love that smell. I am going to bring our cook kits. I...

Lol! Cool!
Our critter sitter who had bailed on us for the weekend is back on schedule so it looks like my hubby can come for the whole weekend. We are looking forward to it!

I was wondering if it would be alright to bring a gas smoker to set up on the outskirts of the primitive area on Sat? My husband was thinking of smoking some Bacon Explosions for the potluck. I hope...

Wow SF, that looks like it was a great trip! Hanging so close to the waterfall must have been amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I am in! Thank you!!

Thanks JBD, I remember you writing that you had come by yourself last year to the Fall Sprawl and thought I could do the same thing! I am much more of an adventurer wannabe than "actual" adventurer....

We have been tossing around if I am brave enough, coming Friday myself with my son. We could stay the whole weekend and my hubby would come for the day Sat. I am unfamiliar with Columbia and Sesqui,...

It has turned out that an unavoidable schedule conflict has come up. We plan to come early on Sat and stay for the day. We are sad about this and really did not want to miss our first hang.

It is kind of funny that we have more money in our down for our hammocks than our entire camper cost. :D

We may need to try some other way like that to anchor the hooks. Hubby hit the floor last night with the hook coming out of the wall. It must have not been centered well in the stud.

The...

I can tell already..........y'all are going to be a blast to hang with! :D

We are in and excited! I will be bringing my husband Za_Claw and my son Gore_Muffin. This will be our first group hang and we are looking forward to meeting everyone!

That is beautiful. I love the two colors together, it is perfect! The matching neck pillow....very cool.

Thank you Jeremy. We have enjoyed watching your Foothills videos and hope to hike it someday.

Rain Man,
I am glad we did not see a bear at Burrells Ford! We did tie a little string around us...
