I do my best to keep comfortable. I was in some heavy Pines and had a pretty good view up to check for widow makers. Hell of a way to wake up dead- George

We all really need to know how to locate and use all our gear by touch. Well except for firearms, then you at least need a spotter you can trust:)- George
Glad you guys like it- George
I have been pondering the same thing lately. I am more of a survivalist/bushcraft guy than a backpacker/hiker/camper. I have been using a Wally World Yoga mat for my BB, and it works great but...
I did a stealth hang for the first time with my BB and SF, I went in at night and did not use a light so as not to be detected. I purposefully did not take the SF out before hand because I wanted to...
Over the last few weeks I have been doing my best to get out in the woods to shake out some new kit, specifically the sleeping bag from Eureka and the Superfly tarp from Warbonnet Outdoors. But like...
Warbonnet Blackbird Double Layer Review
Used one time, like new $45 shipped. E-mail me.- George
Ask my daughter who ended up with a wet ***:)
None at all, not the first time I have done it and I am 300 lbs.- George
My folks had a bunch of people at the house this weekend and space was tight. I figured I would just test drive my brand new Warbonnet Blackbird. There were a few issues, first of all, there was...
PM sent with offer bro
Tukahoe is only about an hour from us. Many of the staff are scouts from our troop/church. My wife said I joined Scouts and took my son.- George
Holy cow, I think we need our own 300+ Hanger Forum. BTW I am not fat, but big boned:) I love my doublenest but just like anyone getting more into something I just wanted to know what would be an...
OK, I have been hanging a year and now pretty much hang every day. Started with a Doublenest since I am 6'2 310 lbs, it was a no brainer for an entry level hammock. Now that I am more into it and...
Very kewl, I leave in 10 days. I go to Camp Tuckahoe in Dillsburg PA. There only leaders and hang.- George
I put a USGI bug net ($10) over it. It was plenty big enough. I just put elastic around the end and bunched it up. Also used a GI Issue poncho before getting my tarp.
...
It is my first and only hammock. I sleep in it in my yard a few days a week and used it all week at Scout camp this summer. I don't have anything bad to say, take into consideration that I have...
Not to go OT but is there anyone interested in an overnight during the week? I travel a lot of weekends to teach.- George
Welcome to PA and HF- George
Man, do I have some time logged driving down the Beta flats in Belcamp.
Used to be a police in Harford County and now live in Southern PA. If I am in country I will try to make the hang, what is the date?- George
Did it for the first time out of necessity in my parents yard. Only had one tree.

The Wobbie has no head hole, strange huh?
This is a very slippery slope. I have tinkering with gear since my army days. Now it could get serious. So what are some of the first things I should try? I am thinking stuff sacks and a DIY...
Today for about 45 minutes it stormed like the end of times. Rain and wind, wind and rain. The gutters on the house were overflowing.
I had my ENO Double set up in the yard (where I sleep) with...
I will chime in. Put the wobbies in a zip lock and roll the air out. You will be surprised (OK maybe not this crowd) at how small it gets and as my brother Tom said see what you can fit into the...
I am 6'2 and 310 and my ENO Doublenest is holding up well from nightly use.- George
I love poncho liners so whatever works for me.
Great to have you here brother.- George
I plan on sewing one like my smoke jumpers bag pictured here-

I sleep out in my yard pretty much every night. I have a...
When they are Dxed and got to the DRMO they are usually sewed up/repaired pretty good. I will be taking the worst of mine anyway to build a killer woobie pillow. BTW kids love these too. You can...
Heavy is a relative term. I have carried a ruck for too many miles with useless heavy stuff I had to carry, so carrying heavy stuff I need is OK with me. Can you explain how you did your mod, I dig...
Got mine at the gun show last weekend for $10. Same thing as here

Just put it up on my Doublenest. ...
You can tell how good a piece of issued gear is by how many get stolen and the "wobbie" is at the top of the list. I love my issued one from many moons ago. I am in for 5.- George
I was really wondering how it would hold up to some real rain. Last night I found out. It rained like it does in horror movies. Rough winds, thunder & lightening. Out of 100% I would say it was...
Kewl, teaching ties me up most weekends and I am home during the week, opposite of the rest of the world. I will try to make it though.- George
Very kewl, I hope to attempt my first soon- George
Last time I was there it was not "run" at all.
They have a decent range too- George
Like I said, the guy said is was a SJ bag. Either way I dig it-

Very nice set up, I kind of went with the idea of what would be the best I could do with what I had on hand if I had to. I just ordered some material last night to put together a proper tarp. I am...
I may be able to get in on this next time. I am about 30 min from Lancaster and go to a cigar shop their every once in a while.- George
I am trying to find someone. Just got four yards from http://www.rockywoods.com/ in MARPAT camo for $30 shipped for pre-treated stuff. The have some good stuff on that site- George
Thanks, it was comfy last night. How do you like my avatar Tom?
I figured that along with the elastic the four points of contact plus the two ends would provide more stability.- George
No, the hobby horse is extra.
From the Army and SWAT stuff I have a PHD in Tri-Glides on gear. I appreciate the compliment. Much better than the "that almost doesn't suck" comment I was expecting...
Today I rigged up a new suspension with for my ENO Doublenest. We are expecting light rain tomorrow night so I figured I would work on an expedient tarp with my handy UGGI Poncho. Here is what I...
I think I have been here all of 2 day and seem to have the bug bad. I felt the need to work on a new suspension for my ENO Doublenest that I use to sleep in my front yard ( I live at the corner of...
I will have to weigh it but less than half of my Snugpak mummy. Compresses small too. Royal blue on the outside and gray on the inside. Figure it would have to be light to be part of a SJ's kit.-...
