They look very expensive, and very cool.
You are welcome to move to Houston. You never need a quilt here, under, over or swallowed.
I speak only for those of us who live in the jungle. Rabbit hats, disembodied down feathers and snowcone ice all over the ground are totally foreign to me. However, in those same frigid lands the...

Pretty much right on the mark, eh, bubba?

Great double hang. With an even larger tarp it is possible to hang diagonally under the four corners as well as criss-crossed orthagonally.
Any way you do it, the Ghillie Kettle makes a hot...
Thanks, this is what I need, and at impressive savings.
I especially enjoy hanging around Kahului, Maui either in Kanaha Beach Park or in some stealth spots on the south coast off the Hana highway.
What locations and flys did you try? Do you mean on...
Hey, Bubba, I reload some but I'm an amateur. Been a hunter a long time. I think you guys have bugs like us, so I'd recommend a Claytor jungle hammock for your summers (mosquitohammock.com), but I...
The matter of providing chance acquaintences with information has concerned me, so I have carried calling cards for over 46 years whenever I carried my own identification.
My current calling card...
Your story is familiar -- while my sweet wife of 46 years and I live in Houston, my residence is gradually shifting to our little jungle 50mi North. She has put up with a lot over the years, but...
Welcome from Cut and Shoot, TX. Hammocks really are better for the weight, but never disparage another man's campsite. When company demands, I set up 11x16 tents with 42"x84" cots with 4" thick...
Hey guys, I think I added my pin at cut and shoot, TX but I could not make it a forum pin graphic. please help an old newbie?
Would you please add me?

Welcome! I've been stuck in hammocks for about as long, but never got stuck sitting down in a short bottom boat! Have a good camp!
The weather stats are 100% truth, and convey a 100% false impression. In short, it will be pretty warm unless it's freezing. The mosquitos will be thick unless it's too cold for them. The official...
What is "The Sauna" ??? Last time I was in Arid-Zona the humidity was pretty low.
You are welcome in Texas, where it rarely freezes and there is no danger from reptiles past the friendly rattlesnakes. We all carry a generous supply of "snakebite" just in case it freezes or any...
Welcome. I always like those who give their location as simply "Texas" to consider the feelings of those of us who are from Texas, and be more specific. It is a big place. The original native meaning...
We Texans think you Aussies are OK, on the whole. Welcome, mates.
Yo, guys, that was my great-great-great-great grandfather, but I'm now in that "old codgers" group and definitely making a major play to extend my time in the woods! You are so right. Been hanging...
Welcome to the group! From my perspective here in Houston, the fourth largest city in America, an area we've called home for nearly 200 years, Texas looks like a large place. Up north ways, it's...
This is my main campsite, but I go all around south Texas. Mostly car camps now. Hunted and fished around for decades, but not much now.
We have a full measure of swamp, bugs, heat and humidity here. Check out "Texas Hangs" in the search function. We plan one for halfway to Dallas in mid November. Might be 80°F or 30°F, who knows?
How do you get the "Currently Active" list on the left? I just have a linear single pane display.
and hear new stories. My wife is from Newport News Virginia. I was born in Temple, Texas and grew up in Houston. My grandparents had been down here a long time.
My little jungle in Cut and Shoot...
I hope those guys learned something. A hammock is faster than a tent, too.
After decades of practice, trial and error and equipment comparison trips, we like to stay in a nice hotel or lodge, have a good king size bed sleep, a fine breakfast. Someone packs us a lunch, we...
I'll be happy to cook with the Alpine set. I sent you a PM. I have a PayPal account.
an important factor?
I've fished from boats for 55 years, and spearfished for 30 of those. Just got my first little starter fly rod kit from Academy. Do you suppose I could do any real fishing with it? I could get a...
Enchanted rock is infested with rattlesnakes all year, but hey — so is most of Texas. What's the plan?
Is the trip date set? Details?
One of my first Boy Scout camp outs was on a private ranch near the mid southern coast of Texas. Here they love hurricanes, because it's about the only rain they get, and second they never had a...
Congratulations! My wife and I married on the Bicentennial after an 11 year courtship. May you be a happy hanger!
You are right, of course. However, there are lots of ways to flag historical data to set it apart. I'm in the nation's fourth largest city, where apparently there are quite a few hangers. Seems like...
I have two Tom Claytor design "mosquitohammocks" which are light enough to pack and strong enough to be real. Their tarps are less expensive and I believe better performing than some of the silly and...
I find it confusing when requests for participation in events are not deleted when they are out-dated.
I'd like to go.
I'm planning on driving up to the hang. Stay in touch.
Central South Texas, 50mi North of Houston.
This is our nucleus site. There is fishing, swimming, hiking trails, restrooms, showers. A car camp. The fees for this State Recreation Area are low. We...
if he has a real domain, do a "whois" on it and it will give his name, address, phone and email. People (ALL OF YOU) should register their own domain, and GET REAL on the net.
Hey, Swede -- Welcome!
Here in South Texas several items made in your country are held in very high regard. I depend on my Wetterlings, Gransfors-Bruks and Fallkniven blades every day. We always...
... from the jungle of South Texas.
There's a neat page here of that title, which reiterates that the tension (T) in each suspension line of the hammock is equal to the user's weight (W) divided by 2*sin(dip angle) of the end of the...
Sounds great! Personally all I need is car camping since I've gotten too lame to hike around much. Thanks!
Sounds nice. The windswept oaks around Rockport and Fulton Beach are very sacred to the locals. I used to fish down there a lot in the 70s. Can you find out if there are weird rules in place for the...
I just bought a silnylon 3x4m (about 9.5'x12.5' finished) from Tom Claytor for $60, which is a serious bargain compared to some. The worksmanship is very good. For years I've used the cheapo brand...
Thanks guys. I know good advice when I get it! I've never fly fished. It seems like some high art, terribly enticing.
