What are You bringing to Hot Springs

**WrongTurn** · 02-03-2009, 18:55

Ok we're all schemeing, planning, and for those of you with sewing machines creating our next set ups for Hot Springs. I know my gear has changed significantly in 2 weeks.

So here we go the new and improved Settup

OES MacCat Deluxe
WBBB in 1.7 single layer
KAQ Potomac 3/4 length synthetic underquilt
WM Summerlite as a top quilt
Prolite 3 for under the legs

Will also be bringing the
ENO single with JRB suspension settup, I need more biners though.

Am i correct in the idea that there aren't many trees and hammock stands are needed?

Well, Just speaking hammocks, I'll just be bringing my same ole Treklite double, although I did convert to a ring buckle suspension, and my 12 by 12 Guide gear tarp. But I am really looking forward to seeing a WarBonnet BlackBird in action!!!

I was wondering how Warbonnet would respond to this thread; makes sense now.

There are quite a few trees, but if we have a big group we could begin to push it some what maybe. But if two or three extra sites adjacent to the group site are reserved, we should be OK.
One advantage to having a few hammock stands would be leaving a little more freedom in choosing where some want to set up, so if a few people already have stands that are easy to disassemble & haul, it could be helpful.

On the personal set up, if I could get myself in gear, I have a few ideas I've been thinking about for awhile, but I wont elaborate until I actually get around to doing them (& seeing how well they really work)
