There seemed to be a good bit of water, but it had just rained pretty heavily a couple of nights before. It's hard to say what it'll look like this weekend.

I will say that pretty much everything...

Well, I guess I'm the @hole but I just got back from an empty CV2. I could have sworn that we settled on this weekend, but I guess that changed. That sucked. Hopefully I'll be able to make it up next...

I am so in. I can't believe that I've missed the last two hangs. See y'all soon :)

Sounds good to me. CV2?

For anyone that may see this before going in, me and my wife decided to back out and will not be at the hang. I didn't want anyone to worry if they were expecting us.

Later,

I vote we have a drinking contest to figure out the site. Choose one side or the other and see who needs a headlamp first. How about it?

You are more than welcome to come with a tent. I'll be in a hammock, but my wife comes with me and she'll be in a tent, so you won't be the only ones there.

Looking forward to meeting you.

I'm interested. Depends on dates, but don't make changes on account of me.

Alright y'all. I'm a tentative yes on this one. There's nothing on my schedule that would preclude me from going, but you never know what might pop up. As of now wife and I should be there. Going...

Who, me?! I don't know what you're talking about. As soon as the sun sets, I'm in my hammock with some chamomile tea and a nice Mitch Albom novel...

Aww, who am I kidding. Yeah, thankfully there...

I vote we don't mess with a good thing and keep it the weekend before Halloween and at CV2.

We're all packed up and ready. We should be in around lunchtime Friday.

Hahahaha, to put it mildly, yes. Although, the house rule is that if you're drinking and you step away to pee, make sure to wear a headlamp. Don't ask me why that's a rule(cough, cough, it's my...

That sucks man. Hope she heals quickly and we can see you all in the fall. Best of luck.

My wife and I should be down at lunchtime on Friday.

Good Both Dates

There you go, I just broke the tie...for now. My wife is on spring break on the 10th so she doesn't have to take a day off work. 10-12 gets my vote.

Yes please

Yes please

I made it all official and stuff.

Alright y'all, it's official. The 2014 Hoosier Halloween Hang with be Oct. 24-26 at CVII. This is the same location as the last few Hoosier hangs.

I have copied the sign-up sheet from the Spring...

I'm going to make 3 more threads, and then a fourth thread with a poll to see which of those 3 threads should be the official thread that we use. I will post links on this thread for 20 minutes and...

Yeah, judging by the poll, I would say the 24th at CV2 is the clear choice.

Hey Rolloff, do you not see the poll at the top?

Planning Thread Created

I have made the poll multiple choice to fit in the two proposed questions. Options 1-4 are the dates and 5-6 are the options on whether to change location. Please choose...

This is the planning thread for the Hoosier Halloween Hang.

I have made the poll multiple choice so that I could fit two questions into one poll. Please select your preferred date, and whether we...

I'm a warm sleeper and with longjohns on, I can take my PLUQ to 35-40. Below that and I slide my foam pad into my double layer hammock and I have slept comfortably into the low 20's with this setup....

Definitely do it if you can. I brought a couple of tent campers with me to the last hang. You will be totally welcomed, especially if you are a potential hanger. We will have plenty of Kool-Aid for...

Yeah man, let's do this. I've been waiting to see this thread since the day after the spring hang!

I've got another ground dweller coming with me! So excited!

Ahh, the SB Pro. I just threw a cinch buckle suspension on mine, still have a soft spot for that bad boy.

Just put a bird on it and call it art.

Alright! I'm definitely there. My wife and I will be coming up on Friday morning. This will be her first time camping in the backcountry.

Oh man, that grass out there is so comfortable though.

I have no doubt that you'll be able to sample a wide range of hammocks if you come out. If my wife comes with me then she will be in a tent, so you won't get any hate from us.

Gotta check the schedule once I get home from vacation but I'm tentatively in. I'll try not to deploy the bat signal this time. :)

The iPad has an app that teaches people how to procreate, I thought Jobs didn't like that kind of stuff on the AppStore

Which weekend do you have in mind? I am definitely interested depending on date and of course weather conditions once we get close.

Yeah, the pack mule didn't work out so well did it.

Yes, the Gorge is on the must-do list. Clifty Wilderness

If you look on that link, The Wildcat Trail - Swift Camp Creek trail loop is one that I have done in the past and was telling you about. It...

I had a great time meeting every one. What a perfect weekend for a hang.

I decided that after this weekend I needed to update my avatar. I don't think anything else would make sense ;)

Sounds like a good time to be there. I'll plan on being there in the 1 o'clock hour as well.

Excellent. I'm taking off work on Friday so I should be there in the early afternoon. See y'all then!

What can y'all tell me about that last 3 mile stretch of road. I'm going to be riding my motorcycle up. Is it pretty well-graded gravel or is it full of ruts and holes?

I ride a V-Strom so it...

Glad to have ya. The Highlands says Hey!

I'm interested. I'm in Louisville and this sounds like a good time. I've been trying to get out to some sort of group hang for a while and my schedule looks clear for this.

I'm in Louisville so...

I'm right at 230 myself and I went with the WW DL in 1.1 fabric. It is great. I got it with the knotty mod and I sleep like a baby every night. I am 5'10" and it is more than wide enough for me, so...

It should be breathable for the heat, but you will want at least 2 layers for it to be mosquito resistant. I've been eaten alive through heavier fabric than 1.9 ripstop.

Dyneema line is incredibly slick, it takes a while to rough up the outer layer and get the prussik to bite. I had the same issue with my homemade CRL as well. After about 3 hangs, it has started to...
