I probably won't know if Kiba and I can make it until a couple weeks before the hang. But, it's on the calendar and I am for sure going to try and make this shindig!

I have been camping since I was in fifth grade with my boy scout troop! Until recently every night had been spent on the ground. I went out this last weekend and absolutely loved every minute of it. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's gear and sharing ideas. It looks like there will be a lot of experienced hangers at this outing and I hope to learn a lot...
Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.

I'm going to try and make this... If its alright my wife might come along too.
The camper formerly known as HikingDad...
Been camping as far back as I can remember. Backpacking really started though when i was 14 and would run out into the woods up north 10 miles or so from the family cabin with a pack full of food and try to survive while hiding from the "pretend" ranger who was looking for me. Only 2 years in the hammock now but not in any hurry to go back to the ground. I have been teaching backpacking, canoe camping, and winter camping courses on my own for about 2 years and 3 with UW-Milwaukee. I love seeing how creative people can be with gear and sharing stories by the fire.

hikin'Dad if you can get Hikin Mom to come along, I say bring her, I don't live far and so I might let my 18 year old daughter camp with us too. She wants to try it out.
As for the maybe's we won't finalize anything until probably the weekend before so as long as you keep us posted.
I had kind of hoped that Roger and I would meet up with Aaron and a couple others, but it looks like we might be heading straight into SHINDIG territory ... that's a ho-down...um... party... I am not fluent in Yankee...DEM DER BOYS BE IN DER WOODS YADERHAEY DONCHYAKNOW
