    Another great hang! Special thanks to Sky and Gastar for organizing a great hang and getting a bunch of stuff for the raffle. Great thanks to the many vendors and individuals who donated items for the raffle. Special thanks to Hammock Gear, Hennessy, Byer of Maine, UGQ, Dutch, and Hammock Forums for their donations - I believe Sky said we raised ~$900 for the Jimmy Fund thanks to your items & the raffle!

    I would like to give a personal thanks to those who gave me a ride to/from the commuter rail in Fitchburg - without you I literally wouldn't have been able to make it! Other thanks to mrmike65 for some delicious bannock (first time I ever had it & it was delicious!), nurses on hand to help patch up some of the wounded, and everyone who held the great demonstrations. Thanks specifically to r3l@x for the alcohol stove demonstration; now I have 2 wicking alcohol stoves to test! Now for some photos:

    I really enjoyed myself. Very well run hang with lots of antics. I didn't get to talk to everybody but that means I will have to come back.

    A really great hang. I want to thank Skypainter and Gastar for their time and effort in organizing this hang. I also want to thank all the vendors that donated to the raffle. This was my third hang and continue to marvel at all the skill and knowledge that is passed around.I met a lot more great people. I am waiting patiently to see the video from 1960 Hiker Dude. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

    A big thanks to Sky and Gastar for all the work put into this hang. Another successful fun event. I also wanted to say thanks here to the vendors that donated great prizes. I'll also be calling to say thank you for the prizes I won.
    I didn't take any pics this time so I'm waiting to see what shows up here.
