    VIDEO: Pine Mountain Trail KY/VA Oct 2014

    Random video of our trip on the Pine Mountain Trail on the KY/VA stateline. A small but great group of hammock hangers hiked parts of the PMT during the week of October 5th. We had some great weather and some really bad weather but through it all the company was great.




    Below is a break out video from the one above showing our last night at camp if you want to get right to some hammock stuff. It shows all the tarp setups and a couple of the insulated hammocks currently on the market. Every one of these setups survived 48 hours of continuous thunderstorms and rain.



    Grapenut had the best advice during the torrential storms and rain....."Embrace the Suck"


    Jaxx's Trip Report from the same trip with some great video.

    Thanks so much for the video's. If it wasn't for you and Jaxx and your video's I'm not sure folks around would have really believed my story about where I'd been for the last 6 days. It was challenging for me but I can't think of anywhere I'd rather have been and I sure couldn't have been in any better company. I'm working on incorporating Grapenut's now famous quote into a sermon while still being true to the "original language". Thanks again for all you did to make it happen.

    HNO, thanks for capturing the event on film. I had a great time for sure.

    Also, I want one of those contraptions you were hanging in. We were a little envious while watching you complete your setup in 30 seconds!

    Potneck... Will "If you don't mind, it don't matter" work?

    Jaxx... Sorry about catching all of your stuff on fire when the fire exploded on the first night! Of course, HNO was sitting closest to the fire, was eating beans, etc...just sayin'.

    Remember where the line starts Grapenut!

    I hate that I missed the modern recreation of Pompeii. I'm sure there will always be a next time with our resident pyro; Col. ("They better not have let my fire gone out") Grapenut.
    Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
    Healthy, free, the world before me,
    The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.

    Thanks for another fine trip report. Looks like y'all had a great time out in the piney woods.

    Looks like fun. Crazy weather recently. I'm glad the Bonefire™ Gear Hammock did well. That's and interesting sock design you have there. Is it double sided?

    Roche strikes again! My Dutch Ti Cinch Buckles and some Dutch Biners just arrived a few days ago. I'm already loving them. You got me on the Biners.

    Thanks for sharing. Pine Mt. Is a special place to me, and I always enjoy seeing others get to experience it.
