Boothill, thanks for the chuckle. thanks all, good to have outside input.

not really feeling nervous about them, i've bounced around a bit trying to push their limit.

i was just curious if...

Gary just pointed me to this thread, think i'll make an appearance! anyone heard from Silverlion?

great pics, cool area

obsidian basin is a great area, i was there a couple of summers ago

a buddy and i are heading over to Oxbow regional park on sat afternoon / night for a quick one night hang.

any locals interested in meeting up?
...

i was sorry to miss this get-together. i had something come up. totally bummed.

i'm planning on going all winter, so let's keep getting together. i promise i'll show up eventually! :)

i think i might be making an appearance ... is there still room? i'll probably head up sat if possible ... maybe fri night

i'm pretty iffy on the hang ... although we were planning on doing saddle mountain near that time ... not sure if that would fit into people's plan? not quite car camping.

my summer has been...

sounds good, keep me posted.

thoughts on where?

i'm thinking we need to do another quick oregon hang, maybe closer to pdx before the summer is out

bummed i couldn't make it. i like seeing the no tarps!

one way to find out. winter car camp ... so if you get too chilly you can run to the safety of your auto. test yourself.

i'm very iffy. i may make it, i may not. if i can seriously jam this week on work then i'll be good ... will only be able to go up on sat though

i'm def interesting in doing some winter camping in the area ...

guys, this is all great stuff. thanks for all the input and ideas. i'm dying for the weekend to get here so i can go experiment with this. and it is pouring out, but i think my rain jacket will work...

great responses everyone! thanks. exactly what i was looking for ... a couple of 2x4 (or maybe just 1) and some guy lines and stakes. perfect.

how come even though i created this thread, i'm not emailed responses, i still have to subscribe to it? really?

thanks for the response, but no no, i am not looking for a full stand. there are various plans all over for that.

i'm interested in making a one-ended hammock stand, are there any plans laying around for something like that? i searched but couldn't find anything.

i'm interested in a couple of uses ... 1 car...

sawyer all the way. i've had a ton of pumps and the best thing about the sawyer is no pumping. it's fast, easy, effective. i usually fill up the 'dirty' water bag and hang it from a branch (with...

good report, nice pics!

i will be there +1

i'm planning on going +1 ... depending on my work situation at that time

you could probably take into your local sewing store and have someone do it for you ... i don't think it would cost too much, but i haven't priced it out.

make sure they're using the right...

here's my new setup

this thread could be used for those one off posts, that really don't deserve their own threads ... if something like this exists, sorry, i wasn't aware of it ...

that's my understanding

i'm pretty sure i'm in.

sounds great! pics?

let us know how it turns out

shhiiiiat! i have family in town :(

oh well, bummer. next time!

so, is anyone still interested in going?

i am headed up that way this friday, march 25th ... am planning on getting to the trailhead at approx. 4pm ... i haven't been to this particular spot that...

is it flat enough for a tent-camper? i've got a buddy who might join us ...

thanks, appreciate it

bummer! we'll see you next time.

can you show me on a map, where on the angel's rest hike there was a good site for a bunch of us?

or was that someone else?
