I'm going to be heading on a last-minute trip to visit some friends who just moved to Albany. We were thinking of camping Saturday night. Any suggestions on places in the Adirondacks or Green...
Very good, have to share this.
I love that America is the birthplace of liberty. That we made freedom of expression an inalienable right and that we are willing to defend that right with our lives (as many brave souls have...
Ooh, ooh! Pick me!
And thanks for doing this!
And my last set of pictures. A bunch from our setups for Saturday night, including a ground-dweller somehow. Also a couple pictures I took on Sunday when my friend & I had to head out early so that...
A few more pictures. Mostly of the portage around the dam and a few of the female snapper we saw laying eggs!
Here are a few pics I took. We started off with a few rapids, which was fun. My friend & I were the first ones tossed from our boat, although our canoe didn't take on too much water. It was quite...
This was an amazing trip! Hope you all had fun with the rest of the trip! We should start a group trip report thread that we can all post pics to.
It does look like the weather is going to be great! Looks like it might still be a bit chilly Saturday night though (the forecast I saw said it might get down to 40), so don't forget to still bring...
We'll probably arrive on the later side; right now I'm guessing we'll get into North Conway around 9pm. I'm going to see if I can get out of work earlier, but no guarantees. I figured we'd drop our...
My buddy & I are in for Friday night! Hopefully it isn't too late to book that second campsite at reduced rate... Would someone be willing to help us leave our car in Brownfield Friday night? It...
That will be perfect then. Not a big deal either way; I just like to know what what the rules/regulations are beforehand.
Excellent. My buddy is a tentative yes, so that's good news all around. We'd just need someone to help us leave our car at that parking lot in Brownfield, likely later Friday night. Another quick...
Hi atrane. I'm trying to convince a buddy of mine to join me, in which case we'd likely bring a 2 person canoe. If not, I'll be coming by myself and looking to rent a 1 person canoe/kayak. I...
May just be me, but I thoroughly disliked camping at Mirror Lake. A decent park for day hikes, but the incessant drone of traffic from the highway kept me up half the night. The least enjoyable night...
The Summer hang at Harold Parker is the weekend of July 17-19. Let us know if you are interested in joining us & we can make sure we have enough space to accommodate you! It's going to be a great...
Would love to go, but I may have to miss this hang due to a possible quarantine. :(
I'm getting back to the US tonight. Really want to attend this hang. Will know in the next few days.
Could you let me know by mid-day tomorrow if you're in? I'd need to adjust my plans accordingly if not. Hope you can make it; I've been wanting to do this hike for a while.
Great thread. Thanks again, Cannibal. Many, many great thoughts all around in this thread. To these many awesome comments I will add a few main thoughts from my own experience (already posted...
Since it isn't a loop hike, we were planning to meet at the Lonesome Lake Trailhead on Rt 3/93 at around 8am Saturday and leave one of the cars there. Our plan was to take off from Kinsman Notch...
I just got my incubator 20 yesterday to try out on this hike. I have a JRB MW4 that you could borrow. It's a bit bulky and you'd be rather toasty, but better that than cold.
Hi all,
My hiking buddy for this weekend just had to back out due to a family health issue. We were planning on doing a 1 night hike along the AT in the Whites; an ~11 mile hike up & over Kinsman...
My UQ arrived today. Would have arrived yesterday if not for Columbus day. It's so light! Can't wait to take it for a spin this weekend.
I ordered an Incubator 20 on 10/3 and asked if I could possibly get it before a trip starting on 10/17. Just got the noticed that my item shipped = super excited!
I got the brown, which to me...
My plans for that weekend just fell through... thinking about making the trip. Anyone from the Boston area planning on going? I'd prefer to carpool, if possible.
Heading to a doctor appointment - got a lingering leg infection that unfortunately hasn't been cleared up by antibiotics. Don't think I'll be able to make it tonight. For the time being, I'm hoping...
Just got my Standard Cuben Fiber Tarp with doors (http://www.hammockgear.com/standard-cuben-fiber-tarp-with-doors/) in the mail today. It was partly subsidized by a spring NEHHA hang raffle win! ...
I could foresee cold spots where the armholes are, but if you're just using it to cover under your legs or something it might be fine. I'd recommend trying it out in your backyard or while car...
I know it may seem a long way for you Germans, but living with 3 hours of each other means pretty close here in the US especially when you're talking about organizing a hang!
Hoffentlich können...
No takers? Bueller?
It's getting to be a big group! Is there a reason why we shouldn't call this the NEHHA Summer Hang? I noticed that we've had Fall, Winter, and Spring NEHHA hangs, but so far no official Summer...
Also, they're Norwegian. :)
Hey fellow hangers - and possible hiking companions,
I'm in the process of section hiking the Long Trail and wondering if I can find any fellow hammock campers who'd like to join me for a stretch....
Other than the two hammock stake-outs, how do you prevent the hammock from swaying/twisting with the wind? And wouldn't that put a lot of stress on those stake-outs (I'm thinking mostly about where...
grimtongue's trail name is bottle cap. I've been following his journal. Good stuff. If you're reading this (unlikely), good luck with your foot issues. Hammock on.
On the flip side, I feel safer hiking with my orange-red backpack during hunting season than I would with a camo or brown bag.
I had good coverage there. I have Verizon.
Heart Lake - great hike. We did it as a 2 day hike: one day to the lake, next day back.
Aw, crap. Just got invited to an in-town conference that I can't say no to. Alas. I am definitely up for another time though!
You shouldn't have a problem with finding places to hang your hammock - most of your hiking will be below tree line. Hammocking around the huts is probably not a good idea though - there is no...
You could look at ridgeline organizers as well. And you could always go the DIY route if you know what you want but can't find the right product.
I second that. Always happy to see more great pictures.
Can't ever have enough hammocks!
Good call. Personally I've gone with the panniers.

This is a pick from a NEHHA hang last summer in Harold Parker State Forest.
Have fun out there!
If the weather cooperates swimming might also be in order.
I'll probably be coming in on my bike. It's more of hybrid bike, though, and can only handle some of the trails there but definitely not others. Last year I did a combination of biking & hiking...
I'm with dingbat:
I say go for the longer kayaks if they have more storage space.
Also, just an FYI for anyone who hasn't done a lot of kayak/canoe camping (may be preaching to the...
Count me in. Wonder if I'll find more forest beers this time!
I'm also interested in this trip. Sounds amazing. And the area is great; my grandparents have a place in Porter.
