    Are you going with the ridge line over the tarp?
    I am useing this style now on my BMJ as it adds a lot less stress on the tarp ends. I also added a shock cord and a prusik knot set up for adjusting it easily. I do like this style as it takes less time to adjust the tarp. It was a good tip that I learned from shug and then got to see at last years Winter NEHHA hang.

    Do you mean that you will replace the hooks with shock cord or are you going to add it to the hooks?

    I dont know if it will work all that great by adding to the hooks or removing them. There is already a gap created by the hooks and it might not be beneficial to add more of a gap.

    I just made my two shock cords that came with it longer.

    I have tons of shock cord and will start playing with my doors today. I'll see what I come up with that might work for you and post some pics of it.

    How much more would the site be if we used the building?


    Do you have a area picked out that we will be useing?


    I dont mind sharing the area if another group wants to camp there during this time we will be there. It might be a good way to convert some groundlings.

    ===> Depends where you are starting from in Jersey. I drove down from about 10 miles north of Boston to the Jersey Winter Hang last year, and it too me about 6 hours to the Pine Barrens at the Batona Camp. With all the construction lately, I would leave a little more time. Hope to see you there!

    I use a fixed ridge line over the top of the tarp. I was thinking of using the door configuration shown on Warbonnets Website. Stretching the shock cord across the tarp to tighten the doors. The first photo is my setup on my last hike, the second is from Warbonnet's Site with the doors in place for a winter setup

    I do have an area picked out. The area I am thinking about is the lean-to shelters at the end of the video. I called for the building and a small group of people going to philmont have taken it. So I think the area around the lean-to has the best area to work out of. It is also closest to the road so if we have to park some cars in an area near the gate we wouldn't have to walk far back after we drive in and unload. We would still have access to the lake and open spots for stargazing.

    I live in Stow MA so just South of you folks. Last messaging about impromptu hangs was in this thread, targeting 11/9. We should all strive to make this happen; plan in that thread.

    Worst case, I have a small patch of trees in my back yard, two hammock stands, and a hang spot three feet from Lake Boon. Could accommodate several hangers.

    I am expecting a winter quilt set in about a week so itching to get out; else, just snoozing on back porch.

    ====> Hi Dave! Stow is not very far at all! I think we could round-up close to ten HF'ers in a ten square mile area around Beantown. A local sub-group hang (but open to any and all) might be fun to organize - sort of as a test run for the Winter Hang.
