Please respond if your coming, we would like you there.
Some are showing up on Friday 7-19-13 to extend the invitation from FLRider's original 20-23 hang dates. Let us know when you will be showing up if you want to come in as a group. On Friday, a few of us will be there around 5-ish.
***FLRider, you are very welcome. You did a wonderful job spotting and getting this hang going, it's my pleasure to put a little into this hang to help out.
Getting excited. I need this weekend in the woods.
Going to get my food ready tonight and gather my supplies for my pack.
Preparations almost complete.
Only need to wake 2 more times before I'm off to "The No Underquilts Hang".
Thanks, FLRider. Can't wait to see all of you there.
We are deep in preparation mode. Permethrin dip scheduled for zerodarkthirty tomorrow.
I won't be able to make it. An elderly friend passed away this morning after a three week battle with pneumonia. The funeral will be Saturday.
I was looking forward to meeting y'all in person finally but that will have to wait till the next hang. two or three months away I think Fl Rider said.
Till then - Happy trails to you. Try to stay cool and snore in a hammock for me!
My condolences for your loss, BearBurrito.
I hope to see you at an hang some time soon. The next scheduled one is the Grinder's Birthday Hang down in Lake Wales, in November. But...I'm sure that I'll want to get out again before that. I'll try and remember to PM you with anything I've got coming up.
Finally just got everything dry from my last misadventure. Need to go through my food bag and decide what's going with me and what's not...food prep today, hopefully...going to need to go to the grocery store tomorrow or Saturday, either way...
Yep. Clothing application needs to be renewed for me, as well; I figure that between sweat and the rain, it was probably the equivalent of six washings on the last hang...
Sorry to hear about your friend BB. My thoughts go out to you as well.
Well here's to you all having a great weekend! May the skeeters be minimal. Waitn' for the pics!
I won't be able make it out there until Sunday afternoon, but I'll be able to stay until Tuesday. Does anyone know where I can get some Permethrin?
I'll be there for sure!
As far as permethrin goes, my local Army/Navy surplus store sells the Sawyer brand treatments, as does WallyWorld. WallyWorld's may be in with the laundry and cleaning supplies rather than the camping gear, though (that's where mine had it at first, though it's in the camping gear now). (Also, it's one of the few spots where anyone beats WallyWorld on price; the surplus store has 24 oz for $16.99, whereas WallyWorld has the 12 oz for $9.99.)
Hope to see you there!
NOAA forecast for the hang, keyed to where Hidden Pond actually is (note that I've had this forecast be up to 10* F off before in Ocala, so take it with that in mind): http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...ite=jax&unit=0
Tractor Supply Company has the good stuff.

Try to find the stuff without petroleum distillates if you can. It has almost no scent at all, and won't harm hammock fabrics.
We bought Martin's, http://www.amazon.com/Martins-Permet.../dp/B001EVKCKM from Amazon, and we like it better than Sawyers. We had to dilute it ourselves, though.
Thanks for the thought and prayers. I'll be praying for the group's safety as well. It is nasty in Ocala right now. Lots of yellow and orange on the radar and now was the time several (including me) had planned to hike in to Hidden Pond.
BB sorry to hear of your loss, looking forward to meeting up later. Can't wait to hear the tales following this hang. Ya'll are crazy, yeah MM I said crazy. After my experience in Maine 2 nights ago and having to give it up I just can't imagine what this hang is going to be like. Can't wait to hear how all of you, just typed that and can't see how 'all of you' is any better than ya'll, can make this sound like fun. Enjoy my friends.
Hanging from the trees night one. Its wet, its dripping ftom the trees, and someone is snoring just 10yards away. Ans there's no place I would rather be right now!:-)
RE: "Crazy" and Mental 'health'
According to the medical experts, we probably need a prescription of some sort, something that just might make us not be able to sleep, make us sleep all the time, give us nightmares, make us want to kill ourselves or others, keep us in a fog or on a flatline worse than Death.
Well, not for me. This is mental health treatment, keeping me sound of mind, body, and spirit.
Besides...we all know it TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE. :lol:
kc -- Fulltime Hammocker, thanks to Olddog, Samsara, and Duffy!
The time clock here in this cubicle has slowed to near stopping. If I can survive the next 65 minutes or so without bursting, I'll be clocked out and headed south. Can't wait to hang again, and see ya'll. Neither storms, nor heat, nor giant florida spiders will stop me now.
- Duffy the Impatient
I won't be able to make it out. Some personal business came up at the last minute, yesterday. It is not a bad thing, just something that had to take precedence over hanging in the woods. I still would like to get out there during this wet season. Hopefully in the future.
Please everyone take some photos.
I hear you. Am headed out the door in ~5 minutes. ETA 8:30 to 9:00
Thanks! Wish you could be there, too! We'll have to get together some time soon.
Sorry to hear about that. I understand priorities, for sure.
Will do on the photos--even if I have to get Floridahanger to stick his hand six inches from my face to remind me...:scared:
Guys, I'm not sure about cell reception out there, but I'm not going to be able to make it for the hang. Even though it feels like a sauna outside, I was really looking forward to coming. I was planning on bringing BWD's. Maybe next time.
Started a Trip Report thread here:
