The weekend of the 27th works best for me. But I might be able to make the weekend of the 13th or 20th as well, but won’t know until closer to those weekends.

Depending on dates, I’m going to try and get there this year. I’ve missed the past two years due to work year end schedule….
I hope everyone was safe and had a good time. We got nearly 3/4 of ice and then about 5 inches of snow on top near Harrisonville. I was at the farm and despite it being a great place to get snowed...
I’m going to try and get out this year too. I had to miss last year due to work, but look forward to getting out. I’m open to all locations, but I think my butt has reservations about Mina Sauk...
I’d like to get there but due to the 5 hour drive most likely will just be there for day two. The way the calendar is this year puts this right in the middle of fiscal year end closing.
I’m planning on being there at least one of the two days. I’m open to any of the locations and agree I like the butter field trail. Not sure if I’ll bring the Great Dane pup to play with Remington...
I’m in KC, but SW Mo is the not that far.
I’d be open to a group trip. Although I’m not much into the heat either. My camping season usually runs September though May.

Mathineer, you werenÂ’t the only one to slip. I lost my footing at the base of the falls and took a rock solid to my tailbone. Took me about 10 minutes to catch my breathe after that one.

I will be there tomorrow & Saturday.... Do we have an estimated head count?
Thanks for the write up. I’ve been looking at the thunderfly as an alternative to my superfly and finally decided to get my order in. Now just a short weeks wait....
Thanks. My winter tarp is a warbonnet superfly and the doors are great. But I want something for 3 season that’s a little lighter and easier to pack than the superfly.
My summer tarp is a...
im trying to make a decision on a new three season tarp. I’ve narrowed my selection down to a HG Cuben Hex or a warbonnet thunderfly. I realize there is 7 oz difference, but that’s ok.
I’m...
I’m going to pencil this in as it should be a good weekend. Hopefully work will be free too.
I have and use both. For anything over 35 degrees I use the Phoenix or my WL 3/4 uq. Saves space and weight. For anything below 30 I’ll use my 0 degree incubator Econ. Love them both, different...
I too recently picked up a couple of sets of evoloops. They work great one handed and help me drop 2 ounces over using carabiners. Neat simple idea.....
[QUOTE=InfuriatedMax;1928864]Thank you TallPaul, That camera angle is actually the go pro on a hiking stick. I like getting an overhead view of the camp from time to time. I enjoy the specific...
I made my first trip to the SHT on Friday as well. I started out on the highway 1 trailhead and headed south to silver bay. The amount of people of the trail made the trip horrific. I couldn’t...
I’m so sorry to hear this news. Marty was instrumental in helping this old man start backpacking again and get into a hammock. I’ve never met Marty, but through our phone discussions he was such a...

Based on this conversation 4 weeks ago I ordered a long hammock gear Econ 0 degree underquilt. I figured I wanted my winter camping to be perfect.
I got it exactly on time and...
Fine.... You guys convinced me. I just ordered a 0 degree incubator - extra long.... My wife thinks I'm crazy. I've got 3 top quilts and now 3 bottom quilts. She says I'm worse than her with...
I also mostly sleep on my back. Not much of a side sleeper.......
I'm 6'7" 250ish and i have a 40 degree standard width long econ quilt. It is fine.
I have a Loco Libre 20 degree in wide and find that sometimes there is too much material to keep snug around...
Water was ok. There was a stream right behind little round valley campground that I was able to fill up on.
Welcome to Missouri. Most of the good hanging spots are all in the SE corner of the state. But you are correct, I haven’t seen much in the way of group hangs. There was one in January which was...

That was a brutal hike. The Marion mountain trail is one of the toughest hikes I’ve ever done. But was it beautiful. 164538
Depending on my timing, I may take the Tram up from Palm Springs and stay at Little Round Valley Campground - but if I have time I'm heading up the Marion mountain trail. It's only 6 miles in but...
Does anyone here have any experience on Mount San Jacinto? I'm headed out there next week - May 11/12th and am planning a 2 day trip up the mountain.
For a California Park, information sure is...
I have a Loco Libre 20 degree snap topquilt and just ordered a Hammock Gear 40 degree sewn footbox. In hindsight, I wished I would have had the 20 degree in a sewn footbox too. Any venting I...
I just hit the order button too. Ordered me an Burrow Econ 40 degree. My warmest quilt is a 20 degree and it’s just too much over about 55 degrees.
Now the wait..... but realistically, 4 plus...
I got my zippered winter sock back in December and have used it a couple of times.
I love it. It really makes it much easier to stay warm in 0-25 degree temps. So far I haven’t really had many...

It was great meeting everyone this weekend. Here are some photos before the fog set in......
I’m tentatively coming. A lot depends on work this week.
If so, I’ll be by myself. My daughter is headed back to school this week.
I’ve got the 11 foot version and it’s great. It was thoroughly tested this fall during a 60mph thunderstorm. Torrential rain for nearly 5 hours and 3 hours of lightning. Scared the hell out of me...
I have the Dutchware winter sock with a zipper and it’s easy to set up and get in and out. To me it seems that it doesn’t add warmth, but kills the wind to let the underquilts do their thing. I run...
Unless something changes, I should be able to be there on the third weekend.
Just as an FYI. I did my first winter hang and the WL 15 degree 3/4 uq did great. It kept me warm and our low was 17. I did have a Dutchware winter sock too, but it just managed the wind. My...
Agreed. There is just nothing within a couple of hours from KC.
I'd join in on this - assuming I'm not travelling for work. I'm only a couple of years into Hammocking and would welcome an opportunity to meet others.. I'm in KC so it's only 4 hours or so south...
Thanks Hammock Gear. Just bought us a zero degree Phoenix Econ. My daughter an I can now do winter camping......
Me too. I’m looking to buy some winter quilts and really was hoping HG’s annual sale would be posted now.
Tuesday through Friday 5/24-5/27. Still haven't unpacked my bag yet....
I just wanted to post a quick review and thank you to Chad at Colorado Outdoor Gear Supply. In March I received my 11foot silpoly winter tarp and had a short three day trip in March to try it out,...
I just picked up my Ursack. I have a bear vault but it's big and heavy. For those places outside of the west the Ursack will help protect my food hang from bears and smaller critters too and save...
I have my dad's down sleeping back from the early 1970's. It was compressed in a bag between 1984 and 2012 when I got it after he passed away. It still lofts up - maybe not as much when it was...
Congrats George. Now we have a thread for all of us LL fans to bring others into the gang. (Insert gang signs here)
Ha! Yes. However now it's just about to be back in my hammock now! Just stopped to text my wife that I'm still alive.
Night number 2 under the quilt tonight. Last night was great we only...
My wife just called me and told me my 20 degree Serrano quilt was delivered. I'm in awe.
I'll return home tonight, pack up and head to the ozarks for a quick 3 nighter. I'm excited- it's also...
