I've gotten cold back/butt at around 25* with the HHSS. Placing my coat between over the SS pad helped greatly.

Sorry guys...life got in the way. I won't be able to make it up for the hang or dinner. My humblest apologies, especially to Jerzybears; I know they were...
For a really flat lay, I found with my HH Expl UL that when I hang it loose (like, ridiculously loose, as in getting out and thinking "man, that's really saggin'", is when I actually laid the...

My android smart phone lasted an entire weekend, with kindle reading, without a recharge. The trick: I put the stupid thing in "airplane mode", and made sure all the unnecessary running apps were...
Silversurfr,
That vintage lightweight thermos would accompany an "ultralight" Swedish Military cookset nicely! :lol:
Seadad, thanks for the tips... I'm getting stationed in Portsmouth in June, so between Basic and Advanced DCPQS and inport OOD quals, I might have a chance to hang somewhere too!!!!
Tip me over the side with a few cannonballs at my feet!:D
Just be sure to put that last stitch though my nose, just to be sure:eek:
Greetings HFers,
Next month, I'm getting transfered (I'm active duty USCG), and it will be back to sea for me!
Aside from getting my sea-legs again :eek: I need to find a sturdy enough hammock...
Hammock camping may have the typical "hobby/enthusiast trappings" of wanting to buy the bigger better shinier newer gooder-er thingamabob, just like another piece of chrome on a show car, rarer fish...
I've always heard very good reviews about it, but please remember, until it is completely dry, keep your pets, especially cats away!!!!! Extremely neurologically toxic to cats!!!
I don't know if I can do the pre-hike, but I'll be there at least for dinner...I'll bring Whoopie Pies!!!:D

DT,
Yes, if you can bring it for the Pancake Breakfast, that would be great, but if not, don't worry...
(I have an old Coleman white gas beast that I can bring, but it needs a new pump and...
ZQ,
Not sure which way I'll go yet, but if I decide to take Rt. 30, I might jump up to Rt 234 on the other side of York, head out through East Berlin, then take Rt. 34 over the mountain into PGF. ...
Also, those traveling through Carlisle, PA...theres the Spring Carlisle Collector Car Swap Meet & Corral Apr 25 - Apr 29, 2012. Traffic along Route 81 will be impacted, and travel through the town...
It's on the "maybe" list! Sunday being Mother's Day, I might have to tread lightly with camping/hanging plans...at least until SWMBO speaks!!!
Hammock Forum meets Water World?
I'll go +1 on the "legs slightly elevated", in that it might cause more of the pooled fluids in your legs to be accessible to be eliminated via your circulatory system; I'll also agree with "paying...
My 2 cents...:
Take both BDs and A, split the difference of C evenly to add to the lenght of all three, and make a Tripod. Stake out a guy line for stability.
Just a thought...
Hibernia County Park in Chester County is nice:

If Ramblinrev can't take the bags of recyclables I'd be happy to drop them off at the transfer station on my way home. Here in Lancaster, they have recycle dumpsters for #1 & #2 plastic and metals...
Sometimes it's better if you don't know the temperature!!! :eek:

Hey MAHHA'ers!
Just a note to let everyone know that the Pancake Breakfast is on again for Saturday a.m. With the wisdom and tutelage imparted from flipping pancakes with Dutch last year, I'm ready...
So what causes the end of the honeymoon period and the transition into the conflict stage? Inadequate gear, lack of education, change of seasons?
I like the part that was specific to my personal...
Made it up to the hang with my 2 boys just for the dinner. Wow, these guys know how to eat well in the woods!!! I would have loved to stay overnight, but the work list at home wouldn't allow. Great...
Sorry to say, I don't think I'll be staying overnight...but I do expect to be able to come up (with the peach cobbler) for a bit in the evening. Just a day tripper, I guess, but better than sitting...
I'll take care of dessert....how's a dutch oven peach cobbler sound?
(BTW, how far is it to carry a D.O. and some charcoal from the parking area...?)
From NWS this a.m....
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 57.

Count me in!!! We can discuss the intricacies of pancake production :rolleyes:
Missed this one, but if there's a repeat of last years Spring MAHHA at Pine Grove Furnace SP, I'll be there to make pancakes with Dutch again!!!
I get sprinkled with bs pretty regularly...oh, wait, you mean something different:rolleyes:
I understand that synthetic fabrics, especially sportswear like quick-drying clothes, tend to not...
I'm in! That's a challenging climb up from Clarks Ferry to the Clarks Ferry Shelter, but the views both north and south are NICE!
Wow, I really should have read the entire post before I posted my last...my apologies!
I see he put the side lines from the hammock through the Over Cover first, then through the Under Cover, which places the OC inside the SSUC. Is this the recommended method?
I think I might...
After way too much procrastination, I finally ordered 100' of 7/64 blue today!!! Can't wait to start playing and making some whoopies!!!!

About 2 years ago, I took advantage of HH offer of a free Scout with the order of my ULEXAsym. Then this year I ordered the SS. Now my son, who has outgrown his Scout, has inherited his pappy's ENO...
Finally brought myself to spend the extra $100 to get a SS!!!
Now, the impatient waiting for the mailman begins!!!
I only just figured out how to get a good hang (was tying it too tightly,...
I've been up there several times...what a cool place to hang!!! Had to be pretty windy, though. Did you get rocked to sleep? Any crashing branches??:scared:
Sounds great, 2Q!!! I'm really looking forward to this trip.
Like I said, I'll help out wherever I'm needed. I do food service for my FT job, so planning/cooking for a crowd is no big deal to...
2Q and all,
Long time HF lurker here, but this MAHHA just might bring me out of my shell!!!!
I would love to join in, and I will put this event in my calendar, so save a couple of trees for my...
BTW, my grandparents live right over the ridge from the SGL parking lot along Rt. 183. Does anyone have any idea when we'd see a goodly sized bubble of thru-hikers coming by that area? I'd like to...
Well, I guess that will teach me to check out HF "before" I make reservations for dragging my pop-up camper down to French Creek...literally, I checked the weekend weather, saw that it is going to be...
