December Hammock Hang at RRG on Hanson's Point

[razorguy]

I don't have an extra UQ but I do have an inflatable large sleeping pad and windshield reflector, which has worked great for me during the cold. I do have a 10x8 and a 6x8 walmart tarp. I used to rock a tarp made from Painters nylon drop cloth 12x10 at home depot for about $8 then line the edges with duct tape. It held up to a nasty wet windy night at the gorge 4 weeks ago. Revhiker on youtube has a vid about. I would still be using it but the weight savings for a cuben fiber sucked me in.

That's great info. I have a couple drop cloths laying around so I may try that if I don't get a tarp by then. I think I'm most likely going to order one of the Jarbridge synthetic UQ's within the coming weeks so I'll let you know if I am in need of anything or not once it gets closer. Thanks!

Dec 12th to 14th.

Perfect timing. I was going to be busy the weekend before this and the weekend after so I'm about 100% on being able to make it.

Hoping I can make it. I really need to meet some people to go backpacking with.

hey just found this thread! Count me in, i've been wanting to get together with some hangers for some cold weather backpackin' and what better place than the Gorge? The dates look good too.

I'll have some (4-5) of my insulated hammocks for ppl to try if they like. SUBSCRIBED!

I'm new to the hammock world and didn't know these existed. I am most definitely interested!

Sounds good!

Thats the date. I am hoping I can find another large site by water that is hikable from Hanson's Point if not we can just do water runs down Sheltowee Trace, not ideal but doable.

Indeed. Well, I'll be hiking in 3L of water. That should keep me.

As I learn more & work to shave ounces, that makes me cringe! LOL

I go to the gorge about every two weeks, using backpacking as part of my cardio workout to get back in shape.

Its either going to be carry a bunch of water or make a few water runs during the weekend.

That's the BEST reason to shave those ounces! Enables you to carry more of the good shizz!
