I'd absolutely love to make it, but I am on call this weekend. I hope to make it to at least one hang.

JasonACraft, I feel your pain, bro, sorry that you had this setback. It will make the next attempt that much more savoring. I had taken a couple Noobs out for backpacking the weekend of Oct 2-4. We...

Thanks for sharing your video, Tallpaul. It's one of my primary goals, to throughhike the AT. I like the views you share, the camaraderie you all shared. Your take on this from the bicyclist...

Gives a greater dimension of hanging! Great vid. Thanks for sharing it.

Archers Fork, SE Ohio, Marietta area of the Wayne Natl Forest. I arrived at St Patrick's Cemetery trailhead about 4:45 pm. Started my hike into the woods shortly after, and found a place to set up my...

<---- Vet also.... Thank you for serving Lone Traveler, and others.

I will sit in my hammock, dangle my feet and drape the top quilt in front of me. Then I place my feet into the foot box, all the while, not touching the ground with quilt, grab hold of ridgeline and...

Clear, brisk starry night. I strapped up my Warbonnet Blackbird DL hammock to a Red bud and a post in my back yard, and placed my HG Incubator 0, underneath, hanging loose fit. and readied my HG...

I'd been to camp 7 a few years ago when I was a ground dweller. To me, it seemed small, if you are considering 8 hangers or so. But then, I wasn't considering hanging in a hammock, back then....

It's been about a year since I've been down there, but, if you're referring to Zaleski State Forest, right next door to Lake Hope, that is not good! If you do mean Lake Hope, proper, than...

I finally purchased a HammockGear TQ! The Burrow 40, with another ounce of GGD. Igot tired of my Trekker Zero sleeping bag, that made sleeping soundly a chore! When you compare money for cheap, over...

Too far out for me, too. Besides, my plate is virtually full, for any other extended adventures. Nice to have met you, last Saturday, Xtrm tj.

Yes, everything went great. I hope to reciprocate, next time I come, by bringing some Italian Sausage Chili. I hope these pics come out properly. Only about the third time I've tried to apply them,...

Great time, hanging with you all, last night, and the great hike today. Great hospitality, and great tips. I'll see you all, and more, in other hangs. Nightranger, great pizza at Captain 9s! all...

Waterboy and gbolt, I am probably tops, as a solo camper/bicyclist, etc. It is my comfort zone I am so used to. I did one other group camp (I was a ground dweller then), a few years ago, on the...

I will be coming! After work, it will take about 2 hours. I should be there by 5ish...looking forward to it.

I may come to this. It is supposed to be minus 4 degrees, Friday night, according to WeatherBug. I was actually planning to go to Mohican State Forest, where the temp is to be minus 7 (just an hour...

Welcome, from Ohio. I'd LOVE to visit The Land-O-Eire.

Frost on inside of overcover and on my hood in morning, and frost on inside of rainfly (snowed on new when I brushed against it getting out of hammock). *Sorry, I have no idea why HF turned some...

Here is the MSDS sheet for Permithrin

I also backpack/kayak/canoe camp. It adds a great facet to an already fantastic repertoire of backwoods/outdoor activity!

Bannerstone... This sounds much, much better...but...GRRRRRR I'm on call that weekend of 10-12, but it still could be do-able, if I get to swap with someone. (You're right down the road...i work at...

I'd love to hang with a group of Ohioans, but it's Easter. Sorry. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more Ohio hangs. Thanks for posting

I am on a "limited budget" and cannot spring for a TQ any time soon. Yes, I did break down and purchase a full length UQ, best choice for me to date! I had bought a cheap Trekker Zero sleeping bag, I...

Ouch! I sincerely hope and pray all are well in this event.

Have you or anyone you directly know ever been injured as a result of fallen tree? Try to limit sharing personal close calls, unless they are VERY close calls (i.e. relevant). In other words, if a...

I recently had a set up error on my part, as well. In the minus 4 sleep last week, I laid a 32 degree bag on my HGIZero, causing the UQ to sag in the middle. Not enough to jeopardize my record low...

I totally agree, even in TREES APLENTY OHIO, there is a time and place for the methods of sleep systems. I always design my trips with hammock first, then tent, and eventually looking into just a...

"a water break underneath". Am I understanding this to be a deterrent to rain water wicking down the straps and eventually soaking the ends of the hammock? like, tieing a string to the straps at the...

Hi Shug. I saw this video that you posted, just last night. One day after my sleep out of -4f. Two things: I wish I had known about the coat over the feet area. I started out with nice warm feet, but...

I slung my hammock up in the back yard, got into it about 8:45pm. I awoke 4 times to answer the call of nature, or as Shug says "write my name in the snow". It got down to 5 below, in Columbus,...

That is the ONLY part I will detest!!!!! It's bad enough a 28-45... but I'm sure it's gonna freeze before it hits the ground! :lol:

I will be in my back yard Wednesday night, at minus 3f. In Columbus, Ohio. For me, this will be a record hang for cold.
My gear:Trekker 0 sleeping bag, HGI ZERO UQ, WBB hammock, KNT 12x12 tarp,...

I've done 7F in a tent, with my 17 yr old grandson, 9f in a hybrid igloo (picnic table compacted with snow all around, and under table).I did my backyard during a coldspell two nights, testing my...

My first big tarp was a Chinook 12x11. It was not costly, but, alas, it wasn't sturdy, either. The heavy winds we had a month ago, in central Ohio took its' toll on it, shredding it! I am hoping...

I was eyeballing the Warbonnet superfly, even went so far as to tell all on here this was my choice to buy, recently. But, after looking at the Kelty Noah 12, and the price, I went with that,...

Hi J.Andersons. I had a similar accident this past March, while riding a bicycle. I broke my clavicle, and yes, indeed, the helmet saved my bean, also. It was broken up right above the ear. I had...

If your feet aren't happy, neither will you be.

Incredible. Looks very comfortable.

Hi Shug. I'm rather new to this Hammock Forum family. Thanks for putting vids out for helping others, like me, and making it extremely enjoyable to watch.
When I started hanging, I did things MY...

I LOVE the HGI0 (Hammock Gear Incubator Zero). I ordered mine last winter, when temps were sub zero.I was not even able to hang when it did arrive, as in March, I was riding my bicycle and had an...

Do some studying on underquilts.I'm partial the the Hammock Gear Incubator Zero. (And not just because it's made in my hometown ).
I've also tried a thin CCF that I tapered at the feet to conform...

Wow! Neat. Merry Christmas.

This sounds like a cool endeavor! Best to you on this, and looking forward to seeing your progress.

I have neck issues, so, I started out using one of the neck pillows. It was way too thick. I used a stuff sack with minimal stuffing. It worked okay, but would get lost when I didn't need it. I've ...

I'd like a Hammock Gear Top quilt.

I would think it no different than a lounge chair, sitting infer a tree. Bring a book, binoculars for the intent of a day excursion.

Thanks for the advice, Gravity. I'm in the middle stages of fine tuning what I have purchased, to enjoy the winter hangs, and fouler weather hangs. After learning to do MY ideas, MY way, instead of...

I'm relatively new to hammock hanging, within 2 plus years. I just bought the Kelty Noah 12 tarp, and recently used that in two different poses. 1 with doors, and the other with a porch. I love the...
