Pictures fixed. But my monitor is now broken. I guess I shouldnt have flipped it on it side...jk. we live in the world of tablets.

I know your new to hanging, but I would not recommend setting up across a trail. You might wake up with a bike rider in there with you, bazinga. I wish I had trees in my yard.

All looks good. Just to be sure take a close up picture of the whoopie over the toggle. Just to make sure you dont bounce.

Also remeber to check over the lines. Milk your buries, make sure the channels are setting up. Get in and give it a little bounce.

I am glad I put that larger opening on one side so you could slid the net across.

Sirlips, hope all is good out in the piney woods. Watch out for the canadian mounted police.

Received the bug net last night, attached it to the second hammock, hung for a bit...wanted to sleep for a bit... Leaving in 2 days for the trip, so that will come soon enough.

We are now working on hanging the DIY UQ. trying to figure out the best way to attach the bungy straps to the sleeping bags, with no thread injector. We are going to play with tarp clips, small I bolt with large washer, simply popping a hole in the 4 corners and hooking the bungies thru, and anything else we think of while doing those 3. I was amazed how warm the UQ made it in just seconds, when we rigged it up last night. No way could we have slept in it last night with an UQ...but we also had the pad still in also. I think we may just end up adding some wings to the CCF pad and using that. but we will bring the UQ set up just incase. it is 2 miles from canada and the night temps are hard to guess.


If i dont talk to you all before the trip...I will be sure to post when we return, with lots of pictures, stories and lies (we are fishermen)


THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE. MIYANC! HAMMECK!!
