If you do schedule and reserve for Saturday night I will be there! :)
Due to family obligations I may have to cancel for Friday night. Also, looking at the forecast Saturday night into Sunday is still looking pretty good. If it is good with everyone else any way we...
Looks like Trail boss and I will be heading out from KC after work on Friday next week. Will be on the bike provided decent riding weather. I am assuming we will be bringing our own food on this...
Yeah, I know! Everyone was mentioning the hang was Easter weekend and I kept looking at the calendar and scratching my head!
:lol:
Put me down as a yes. I may have my daughter with me as well. If the weather is nice it sounds like a good trip to ride out on the motorcycle!
Hey leftorright! I am part of the KC horde Owl mentioned earlier. I am pretty swamped until April but would love to give this one a go. If it works out that this gets planned for April I will try...
I am thinking about organizing a weekend or overnighter at Cooley Lake. Thought it might be kinda neat to wake up over by the Missouri River in the next couple of weeks. Anyone game? If interest I...
Trailboss and I are in the same boat Owl. She was feeling puny earlier this week. I told her hanging in a cold hammock overnight was probably not the best thing to do right now. I am thinking if...
Man! After reading posts and seeing the trip report I am so sorry I had to miss this one! I hope I can finally meet some of you at the Frozen Cheese later next month!
I just posted on the frozen butt hang thread I was opting out. Getting achy, mild fever, and blisters on the back of my throat. If this runs its course in a reasonable time I should still be good...
Ok... Woke up this morning with blisters on the back of my throat, feel run down and achy. If I do not have a miraculous recovery in the next 48 hours will probably be opting out of the trip. Will...
Just confirming. . . Barring bad weather and any unforseen circumstances Hoot and I will be there on Wednesday. Hope to be there before 1.
Me! Also Trailboss will be making an appearance.
Coming in from KC so have not seen any snow stakes in the area. Any suggestions as to where to pick some up from?
Hoot and I are planning to head out of KC early Wednesday, 11/14 around 06:00 hours. Expect to be there around 14:00 to 16:00 hours. Anything I can do to assist?
Also, I cannot get the sign in...
I will be going to the Minnesota frozen butt hang the weekend of the 17th and 18th so the weekend of the 24th and 25th would work better for me.
Looks like y'all had a good hang! And I gotta ask: How did the biolite stove perform? Was looking at those at REI the other day.
Soinds like a fun hang guys. Sorry I had to miss it. Take a few pics and post? Would like to see the area, sounds like a good place to winter hang later on when things get settled here.
Not a problem folks, will leave it in the shed! :D
This will be my first time attending. Not sure so I thought I would ask before packing it. What are the feelings about chainsaws? Would one be wanted or does everyone like to stick with cutting up...
Campcrafter,
The bag I have is a down Marmot Never Summer rated to 0 degrees. It is a large that will fit up to 6' 6". Let me know if you need it.
It's a possibility. How tall are you and what do you weigh?
Campcrafter,
What are you lacking in the way of gear? I have a couple UQs, pads, and cold rated bags. I could probably send what you are lacking with some folks from the KC area to get them to...
I may have to cancel out on this one. My Mom has been on hospice for several months and took a turn for the worse last week. She has fought the good fight on cancer for several years but now...
Hoot and I are planning on going to the Minnesota Frozen Butt hang this year. Out there the temps stay in the neg zero ranges the whole time and they use closed cell pads all the time to soup up...
Closed cell foam pad from Wal Mart. Will run you under ten bucks. If you need one I have a spare. What is the temp rating on your bag omaha?
Omaha,
Welcome! Always good to see new faces! This will be my first hang there. Ususally what are the temps/weather lilke that time of year? Just making sure my gear is ready as well.
Talked it over with Hoot and we are going to carpool in Friday. Expect to leave KC area by 1. Hope to be there by 330 or 4 at latest.
works for me! Will check to see if Trailboss is available.
Campcrafter,

Is that a quote from the same John Muir...
I am planning to do the Minnesota Frozen Butt Hang in late January next year. Hammock is a Clark NX250. Lows could reach 30 or 40 below. Anybody know of a full underquilt made by Jacks that can...
Not bad! Count me in. I will see if Trailboss can join depending on the weekend chosen.
That does sound like a cool idea! Anyone know the approximate ETA from KC to there?
I would not mind a change of scenery myself. Not sure yet where though. We want to stay around kansas or Missouri side? Any thoughts anyone?
Is this jacket still available? Interested in it provided it is durable enough. Anybody owned a similar one before?
That is the plan. I am heading out after work from downtown KC. Hope to be on site by 6.
I don't know how much rain they are going to get in Lawrence but we are getting dumped on in KC today! Think this will cause problems with scrounging dry firewood? If we are camping at the...
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful weekend for A hang!

I will have a friend with me. Name is Coram.
Count me in! Also may have a friend join us, will know for sure as it gets a little closer.
Sounds like the next tackle will be condensation issues. Not sure how to deploy the zippered cover over the NX250 yet. Woke up to it raining inside when fully zipped up and hanging in the 20s...
Nice. Freaking. Quilt! ! !
Okay, so far here's what I am piecing together. . .
My hammock is a Clark NX250. For starters on the bottom side I am planning to use the old style Z-liner (this...
How about footwear? Was thinking muk luks a possibility. Any other ideas?
Hoot and I are panning to attend. Been talking amongst ourselves about how to shore up our gear to handle the cold. Would love to go to the newbie hang in December but will be unable to attend. ...
I spoke to Trailboss late last night. Turns out she got bit by a brown recluse on her leg :scared:! As a result we are going to have to cancel. We are going to miss going on this one. With the...
I will need to pick up Trailboss from her Mom's after work on Friday. I am shooting for being there around 8 with her. If plans on my end change will post and let you know. Will be good to see...
Owl what/where is this swap'n'shop'n'adopt event? Just curious. . .
There is a civil war reenactment of the Battle Of Pilot Knob. I have been playing with the idea of planning a hang to attend with my daughter and anyone else who would like to show up. I know that...
TI too have pondered doing this one as well over last year. I am going if for no other reason than to see the parachute for myself! Right now my gear can take me comfortably down to about zero...
Put me down as a yes! Not to get off topic but what changes have you been up to?
