Atta boy!
Bill at White Box Alcohol Stoves has donated 12 (count em 12!) of his awesome ultralight alcohol stoves and windshield sets for our raffle at the SoCal Hangers 4th Annual April Fools Group Hang!
When the box arrived I thought to myself Man, this guy must have used about 7 square feet of packing peanuts for a box of this size. I picked up the box and it didnt change my mind. The box was so light I figured there would be two, maybe three inside. To my surprise, when I opened it up I found it chock full of a dozen of these little beauties. Their craftsmanship is exemplary and they are just a couple of grams lighter than air.
When shopping for gear, please remember their support of the hammock community and generous donation to our raffle benefiting The Wounded Warriors Project!
Theyve another extra mile with a generous donation to our raffle to raise funds to America's veterans. Lets go the extra mile to support their business.
White Box Alcohol Stove Company is the premiere provider of lightweight alcohol backpacking stoves. The White Box Alcohol Stove was designed by Bill Ballowe in 2006. Bill was the first stove maker to design and manufacturer an open top stove using aluminum drink bottles and all other bottle can stoves on the market are copies of Bills original design.

Wow...it's been a very long time since I've logged on. Happy to see how much the Socal Hang has grown!
I haven't had the chance to get out and hang sense I've moved to LA, so this sounds like a great excuse to get outdoors for minute or two and enjoy the weather. So myself and a +1 will be out for at least sat/sun and maybe try and make it out Friday night. Speaking of, if I where to arrive Friday after dark, how difficult is the campsite to navigate around and set up in the dark?
Sounds great, I'll update the list later today.
It's car camping so there's not much of a trek from the car to the site. Forty feet, maybe.
I'm sure we'll be more than happy to help you get your stuff out and help set up as much as you like. Even if it's just providing light.
I'm always excited to see first timers coming out!
Hello All, I can`t believe it has almost been a year already. Count my son Kenny and I in for this years hang out. Yeeeeha!
Awesome, can't wait to see you guys, Miguel!
I'll update the attendee list later today

Single Hammock in Forest Green
Okay now that's funny. Navy week really? I want a couple of those patches.I have you two down for it
Pedro and I were talking about the ticket price and decided to go with five dollar tickets.
We figured the odds to win are the same per ticket and we won't end up carrying around more singles than a stripper during navy week.
Unfortunately I can't go back and edit posts after three days to clarify.
Are you coming out to the hang to buy them?
