Very nice trip report screwloose.
I hear you with how nice The Hidden Pond site is for overnighting. We just finished an overnight there Sunday. Vice good overnighter.
The 3 of us, edhess,...

Gazebo - Tikihut hang went well. Scarey at night, all those creepy things out there you know...

Actually very good getting familiar with the Blackbird. I like it , I like it!
I like it allot. ...

I'll be there, camera in hand, video too. I like to shoot lots of photos & video everywhere I go. Probably my most "weight" to carry around.

Heck, this sounds to be a mini-Group hang in itself. ...

Hey edhess, good to hear from you, and someone familiar with the area of the 1st Annual Florida Hang.

You're more than welcome to come join us the weekend of 10/23 & scope it out @ONF.
I'd like...

Depending on the specifics of going, I'm interested. Send me a PM if you don't mind.

I'm from South Florida, so even Tampa residents are living in the North, to me. Brrr...
Ocala National Forest is like a great trek UP North, I'll soon see. Hopefully soon sporting a WBBB to hang &...

Stoves, I'll be packing my Mini-Atomic as always, and probably the MSR Superfly, as weight won't be a concern either.
Can't wait to get out in the WBBB. Maybe next weekend hanging somewhere...

I say Good...
Something is posted by someone familiar. I think that's half-the-battle getting anything organized. Put something out there.

Me, I'll go wherever the majority ends up voting in. ...

Maybe come up with a selection of two different areas at ONF, and place a vote?
I'm not familiar at all with ONF [Ocala National Forest]. I plan to make a few trips there between now and January,...

Works for me! January 15th it is. Count me there.

Always sorry to hear of anyone getting maimed or seriously hurt, but...
Common sense needs to rule overall. Next thing you know they'll not allow anyone to venture into the woods after dark.
...

Thanks "theflb", for all the useful info. I'm looking forward to my first hang in that area later in October.

Welcome to the forums...

...p.s. MoLawns,

Thanks for the Ocala NF Map. Some really detailed info on the area.

I hear you MoLawns. I agree. Better to be safe than sorry with leaving the vehicle overnight and confidence its going to be there the next day or day after.
I often wonder how often thats a...

January will br great. That will give me some time to workout my hanging setup before I get in a group of hangers.
I ordered my WBBB 9/20, Monday. Brandon confirmed in an email it would be upwards...

...molawns,
Have you ever launched your kayak at Alexander Springs for numerous nights camping via the kayaks? Looks really good. Maybe even scoping it out before the larger Florida Group Hang...

...Me still waiting on delivery of my WBBB, Cannot wait to get out there hanging.

Did a date or even what month get established yet? Wasn't sure.
I'd also like some time backpacking semi-mild,...

I agree with you MAD777,
I gear up lightweight, and self-contained, not to pull it out of my truck next to the tree I wanna hang from. I like to walk in a bit. Even a mile or so away.
Maybe its...

LMAO! at that one MAD777. That is funny. And too true. Me, Once I get cold... forget it. I plan to keep toasty no matter what the Florida winter weather.

...Muttly...

thanks for the welcome Muttly. Bokeelia huh? I launch my skiff there every so often. Pine Island Sound is always a good time.

Looking forward to getting my hammock to start...

I'd like to see and hear all about it. Me, Still scoping close areas where I live to hang without interuptions or hassle. But not wanting to drive an hour to get there either.
At least not for...

New to Hammocks, Not so new to general tent camping.
I've been reading the forum for a number of months now. Just ordered a WBBB.
If it arrives in time for the hangout event, I'd like to show up...
