    Greater Toronto Area-Summer Hang

    Hello Hangers of the Greater Toronto Area,

    I am fairly new to Hammockforums.net but I would love to organize a hang with everyone for this summer. I would also like to organize this event in the winter. The location is to be determined because I thought we could pick it based on the where abouts of who is interested. I thought this would be a good opportunity to get to know new people and show off our gear that we spend hours perfecting. I will also be bring a large variety of hammocks for people to test out such as the Warbonnet Blackbird, Jacks R Better Bear Mountain Bridge Hammock, DD Travel Hammock and the Grand Trunk Goods Nano 7. If you are interested in any of these products this would be a good time to try them out and make a decision on what is the best fit for you.

    If you are interested please reply and also indicate where you are from, your current set up and where you would like to go for this event. I am hoping for a large turn out. So far I have myself and three other guys signed up to go.

    Hope to see you there

    Interesting offer, and always good to meet new people. I think I'm going to have to pass on this one as I'm headed out in June already.

    I hope you meet many of the EGL hangers. We're a good bunch. lol.

    Me and The BOSS would likely be interested in a weekend/overnighter.
    We are located very close to Goderich.

    July wouldn't be the most ideal month for me. I dislike bugs almost as much as I dislike heat and humidity. I was thinking of heading out sometime in mid to late August.

    It's always good to meet new hangers in the area. It's all a matter of timing.

    Cheers

    I'm planning to be in algonquin with my son on July 5-7 (Thursday to Saturday)
    had to cut out sunday as he has a football game

    Not sure if we are gonna hike one of the trails or rent a canoe and head in.
    but there will be 2 hammocks on whatever site we end up on

    Maybe a different date or time

    Hey guys,

    So its sounds so far like July is hit or miss. I am thinking of going in July for whoever wants to come and then maybe we can go again in August for just a weekend or overnighter. I am in Keswick (Lake Simcoe). If there are any locations that you want to go hang or dates that work for you please post and we can work on getting this organzied I am really looking forward to it too!

    I'd probably be willing to hit it up if I'm not busy the weekend of.

    I am from Ottawa but the trip to Toronto is no problem.

    EGL Hangers are the Eastern Great Lakes hangers. It is pretty much every member on this site that lives in Southern Ontario. Just look through past trip reports and planning threads to get an idea.

    Cheers

    Many of us Ontario hangers have car camped, backpacked, canoed and snowshoed together. The trip planning threads and trip reports have Eastern Great Lakes or EGL in the title. We have been to a couple of Conservation Areas as well as Algonquin and Bon Echo Provincial parks. I know HF member keg started a similar thread for a possible summer get together. I'd be interested in an August trip and a winter trip. Depends on when and where.
