Well, my friend Robert hogn8r finally got me to thinking that my 33 lb tent is not an option any longer. I am old and the measured in oz. pack he has it becoming more appealing. Digging around and trying to read all I can. I will not be asking too my stupid questions, but there will be questions. LOL

will you be at the Fairfield lake gathering this weekend? excellent chance to see it all in action!

**Wildman** · 11-09-2010, 12:01

No, I will not be making that. I will be more in tune the next month or so. My hammock/tarp and pack are in the process of being made.

too bad- I know it is short notice...maybe some loaner gear could be found?

I'll be glad to loan you a hammock this weekend at the Texas Hang, texaswildman.

Welcome to the forum Texaswildman! It's great to see another Texan heading into the trees.

Sometimes timing doesn't work well, but from what all I hear, all the cool kids are going to Fairfield State Park this weekend.

Feel free to join us if you can and don't hesitate on the question asking. I think we all learn even from the simplest of questions.

Glad to hear from another Texan... I'm a noob myself so I know how you feel... so much to learn...
