What gear and camping tips did you learn about at Watoga 2013 Fall MAHHA?

You are more than welcome! I'm glad you liked them and so happy you ate them.

That was a great campfire!

ummm, I wasn't there, but I want brownies.

Those Turtledog stands belong to my dad (Biner) and myself (Maztrain) .....This was my dads first time on a hammock tour and he was a bit worried that ya'll might ask him something and he wouldn't know the answer. I told him go ahead join the tour they wont ask you anything!!! That was until the herd turned up hill and headed to our stands....OOPS!!!! Guess I was wrong!!!

Worked out well though, Biner did great answering all the questions!
I might have to make me a set of those. I don't have close trees in the yard and have to head to the poison ivy patch or the car port to gear test.

I learned a bunch of stuff! The tip from Jack (Pan) about the shock cord wrapped a bit around the suspension to hold stuff was great.
I also enjoyed the flint knapping. I never knew how difficult the ancient people had it just to get meat to eat.
The leave no trace presentation by VegaMike was all good.

It was nice to actually see the pole mod for tarps in 3-D; made it much easier to figure out.

It was really great to be able to thank the person that made my nice and warm quilts. Thanks again Stormcrow, I love my Hammockgear quilts!

This was my first large group hang. The people were friendly, generous, helpful and just plain fun. Did I mention how great the food was . I am so glad I went.

I learned that I realy want one of Pappa smurfs dream hammocks. And from the stove demo that I want a Bushbuddy. Also learned better ways to hang my tarp. But most of all how great hammock forum people are. This was my first hang and everyone was welcoming.

What are these Cow Bells of which you speak? Pictures please.

Very nice brackets for tri-pod stand.

OMG Ferret! This was the best one ever! EVER! EEEEEVVVVVVEEEEEEEEERRRR!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT!! Aliens landed, Harry Potter made it, we learned how to dehydrate water for backpacking. JD brought moonshine. Man, I can't believe you picked this one to miss.

Thread drift! No way . . . I learned not to ever miss a MAHHA! Just like Ferret!
