Welcome aboard from NW Ohio! Whereabouts are you? Theres a huge hang happenin this weekend near Grand Rapids, MI, you should attend if youre free.

Id check out Readystrap if i were you. Lotsa choices, best customer service and prices out there. Garys taken care of me a few times recently, his products and service are second to none.

Maybe this has been addressed recently, not sure, but just wondered what the official head count is up to for this awesome event? We gotta be close to or over 100 by now...

Thats fantastic!!! I will be taking you up on that offer to come and learn and make my gear while there this winter for sure! So exciting to see the refinement of the sock on here, quite a project....

Ugh, why do these always happen when i have no extra money?!? Great deal though, maybe next time. Cant wait to check out all yalls stuff at the MI hang.

Haha, hey, my kids will be ground dwelling, theres no shame in it. To be honest, i dont sleep any better in a hammock than in a tent, i just like it better. I dont sleep well camping regardless of...

Wow, thats a great deal! Ive never checked out their stuff before, but it looks awesome.

Excellent info, thank you all!!!

How close is our parking to the group site? My kids will be sleeping in the back of my truck in our "truck camper". How close will i be able to get my vehicle to the site? Drive right up?

And...

Ive been fairly happy with mine at 85%. I have two hammocks that are 120" RL point to RL point, and one compact one for pitching on my buddys sailboat that is about 90" from RL point to RL point. I...

$30 isnt too bad. And it is what exactly? A vehicle pass for the state parks or something?

How much are the fees exactly? Its $10 per person plus out of state fees correct? And i believe i remember seeing that children are free?

Awesome product! If you need to donate one for reviews and testing, im in...

Lol

Awesome, thanks yall!!!

Looks great! Gonna have to add this idea to my diy list...

Im looking for any insight on a place to get multiple poncho liners for cheap.

If someone doesnt make the nametag like that, Im making one, lol...

Haha, that could be his nametag, "FunnyHoney"

We should be able to chip in on more dinner for friday. But lemme know exactly where ur short on items and ill see what we can do.

Fortunately, in ohio the store is required to certify every garment as sanitized, so im feelin ok as far as bugs. And there is zero smell to it at all.

Im likin the idea of turnin it upside down...

Snagged a late '80s Slumberjack 40* mummy bag from Goodwill for $5!!! Its a "Micro Biker .875", with Dupont Microloft. I guess one of Duponts early synthetic downs. Fluff is a bit compressed, but...

Ive done this quite a few times actually, my circle of professional arborists that I hang out with got me into it a few years ago. They termed it as "treecamping", which I really like. The gear and...

Ur looking for a 12 strand hollow braid eye splice. You can get some basic splicing instructions from samsonrope.com.

Happened to find this one at my local surplus. Its Marine MARPAT on one side and flat dark earth on the other.



Lol, just lucked out i guess! And thank you!

Gotcha, thank you!

Looks good to me! Very ingenious pitching of a hammock in a unique environment.

What should i expect this thing to get me down to, temperature wise? 60? 50? 40?

And ill just be using a mummy bag upside down for a top quilt for now, thatll be the next project.

Close-up of the end with suspension, ridgeline, and PLUQ suspension...
