I just updated the spreadsheet with my Raffle Item - I'm going to donate the first ever Haute Hammock t-shirt! (go here if you don't know what I'm talking about)

Question - There's not much listed on the "food" tab of the spreadsheet. Are we still doing the Saturday pot luck?

Greg,

Thanks for your raffle prize. That's great and much appreciated. Regarding the food tab................ You are correct........ There isn't much listed at this point, BUT....... there are a lot of TBD's. I can GUARANTEE you that come that Saturday night, whether there was food listed or not listed, there will be more food than can be eaten by a small country.

Moving on, I have packed the two underquilt/overquilt sets for our VIP's in your entourage. Let Momma know that she doesn't have to worry if the kids will be cold. What we always recommend, even though it will be May, is that you/the kids, layer up, so that you/they can peel off some layers if need be. The TQ/UQ will certainly do their jobs believe me. I'll help you dial them in with the kids in their hammocks so that we are sure to seal in the warmth.

Look forward to meeting you and the VIP's.

All the best !

My wife and I are planning to make it. Our arrival depends a lot on her class schedule, but we hope to make it before dark on Friday. PA to MA isn't too far...

David,

We are looking forward to meeting you and the Mrs. We are a fun group of people and welcome, with open arms, new folks.

Most of us have just gotten out of prison so we are trying to re-integrate back into society. Just one word of wisdom and you will figure out the rest.

Be careful of a couple of guys named Nighthauk and Raifnuke. They were hardcore inmates at Cedar Junction State Prison in Massachusetts. I won't go into detail, but DON'T be swayed by their friendly demeanor and willingness to help you set up your hooch. If you do, you'll never be the same.

All the best and we can hardly wait to meet you.

Ah, so you've all been married? I'm doing some time, myself. The warden is accompanying me on the trip. :P

I appreciate it, looking forward to meeting you all!

Marvelous! I don't know who's more excited, me or the kids!

Ok, so, I can only do friday night. As I am working Sunday morning. I think I may go down Thursday after work, if anyone wants to go a day early? I only have friday and saturday off, but this is the first time using my WBRR, so I want to dial it in .

Would love to go, but I may have to miss this hang due to a possible quarantine.

How are the bugs down there at night? I don't have my bugnet for my bridge hammock yet and deciding if i should use my other hammock instead.

[Nighthauk]

So far they aren't out yet. But we still have 2 weeks left.

[g2outdoors]

I bought a bias nanobuginator for this hang. I've got 3 or 4 hammocks with integrated nets, but this was the perfect opportunity to get more kit!

Is this Boy scout jamboree still a dry hang??
