Ripstop by the Roll has donated a $20 Gift Certificate for our raffle at the SoCal Hangers 4th Annual “April Fools” Group Hang!

If you’re a DIY’er and haven’t used their products, I’d question if you’re actually a DIY’er!
When shopping for gear, please remember their support of the hammock community and generous donation to our raffle benefiting The Wounded Warriors Project!

They’ve another extra mile with a generous donation to our raffle to raise funds to America's veterans. Let’s go the extra mile to support their business.

I'll bring some cornhole boards!

**WillieCash** · 02-09-2016, 17:49

Cornhole Tournament!

(I'm guessing this phrase has a much different connotation at other gatherings that have big flags with bears on them)

You mean this isn't the backwoods men forum?...

NEW ADDITION FROM THE BEARDED HANGER!

WE'VE GOT SOME EXCELLENT RAFFLE PRIZES AND MORE COMING IN. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO BRING CASH FOR TICKETS SO WE CAN MAKE A GREAT DONATION TO THE WOUNDED WARRIORS PROJECT!

I'm personally sending out a BIG THANK YOU to the folks below that have offered to make donations to our charity raffle. Please bring cash for tickets as the items we're collecting are really great!

There are some items below which have been specifically committed and I will update the list with more specific items as as they start coming in, but rest assured we're getting a wonderful selection from these generous people.
