We had a good time meeting everyone and hanging out around the fire, even though we had to cut out early Saturday.
PG, Thanks for getting this together and putting up with us. Next year we will...
Wish I was heading north for this. I will just have to wait for the reports.
The 15' span is good for the ridgerunner. I have been using this one in the yard: ...
I can't get his site to come up either. It looks like he is focused on making beer instead of quilts now. He quit making top quilts a couple years ago and now it looks like he is dropping out all...
@Gresh - It arrived today. Thanks for the deal.
Nice pics. I wish I could've seen it. Unfortunately I never got the camera out and slept through it.
Do we have a number for who is attending this hang? If it is only a few of us, then I will just bring something to compliment the ribs. If we have a larger group, then I will bring something else to...
@Gresh - I'll take it. You will have the payment in a few minutes.
@Gresh - I'm interested. PM inbound.
By the way, you should cut something with it. Jose puts a nice edge on his knives. ;)
I've found site selection to be more important in windy conditions. Aside from that, getting the ridgeline as low as possible makes a big difference. I have setup my hammock inches off the ground and...
I should be able to make it too. Wed-Sat are days I'm free. If Keith is doing ribs, I'll just show up to eat... ;)
@pgibson - I should be able to make those dates work. I will likely try to add the 29th too because I'm off Wed-Sat that week. I will just take Sunday off.
@heyyou - Thanks for the info. I will check those out while I'm there.
I was going to be there next week, but the trip go pushed out. First week of April I will be in the area though. Looking for fish, relaxation and day hikes. Some local knowledge would be helpful... ...
What Karl said... I know what I need and I like to read reports. Now I need to work on creating a few and getting out with some of the people from this site again.
I'm really bummed that this week was chosen for camp, but I can't get it changed. :(
Last time we went to this area for camp, we were out of there early Friday, so I'm hoping we can do that again...
I was just given the dates for Scout Camp this year and it is the same week as this hang. My son wants to go to camp and try to leave Friday so we can make the hang for the weekend.
We are hoping to...
Looks like a nice trip. Thanks for sharing.
@streamline - It will be easier to give you info and ideas when the time gets closer. I would recommend hiking Timp, but right now it is coveted in snow.
Stuff around cottonwood canyon would be...
Here are a couple sites to look at:

The Wasatch Hiker site will give you details on just about every trail...

Shangri La tarp and Flamethrower quilts @ Jenny Lake, ID...
I can head that way for a long weekend. I know I'm not from Idaho, but I will make the trip for a gathering in your fine state.
I have the UQP and a BBO for each of my WBBB hammocks. I take them on every trip. If I'm not using the UQP for warmth, it makes a good gear hammock or sorts. (This was discovered by accident and now...
Looks like a good idea. I'm curious how it will hold up in the wind. I look forward to the test results.
Boothill - meat entree
sodakgrrl +1 dog, vegetarian dish
OdieGreen +1 adult, +3 kids - gluten free dish
Cataraftgirl - dutch oven dessert

I just got a message from PG. "Site 11 reserved for June 11-15."
Looks like we will be sharing that site. I said in the planning stages I was bringing tri tip. That will be my contribution to the...
^^^^ I can't say it any better than that. ^^^^
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
How about 6/12-6/15?? That keeps us in similar dates as last year. It could also make it easier to do an annual thing to plan around.
It sounds like Flaming Gorge is a good location for most of us. That makes that part easy.
Now we just need dates. Are we going to do this in June again or are we looking at different dates? I'm...
That looks like a winner to me. Now I have to look at making one for Klondike this winter.
Very nicely done. That is a well thought out shelter.
I don't have any HG stuff, but I have seen it. It looks like good gear and the owners are happy, so it is probably a good choice.
I do have a few pieces from JRB. I can tell you it is good stuff and...
That's a great idea. I love the thought of having a table for food prep.
Nice pic... I'm rotating from nights to days in a couple weeks and I think I'm going to try your way of recovery.
:)
Great question... After watching what the hairstyle trend did to feather merchants and the subsequent rebound, I think it is sustainable. Down could get a lot more expensive if we continue to drive...
Mine arrived today. Time for some backyard camping...
I like that idea. That looks easy enough to work with and very beneficial. I'm going to have to look in to something like that. Thanks for the tip.
I stacked mine the other way. I put the smaller quilt against the hammock. Now I'm curious about which way is better... :what:

I like the AHE Shangri La tarp for summer trips. The longer head end makes it easier for me to get in and out if I have to change the setup because of a change in the weather....
I like hidden pearls. "I'll take it"
Sending PM...
Now we're talking. I would love to float the aquarium and fish the A section. Camping near the gorge works for me.
If I'm bringing steaks again, then I'm car camping for the first night for sure. I...
Nice review... I like the versatility of those quilts.
I will bring it with me for sure. I just need to get over there. I'm trying to get over there at the end of the month, but it will be a last minute call for that weekend.
Dutch did a short video...
I think I'm going to have to just head that way one weekend and see what happens. Fishing or no fishing, I'm going to make over there one of these days.
O&B, I'm having trouble getting free the week between the holidays. (schedule rotations at work are that week.) If I can't make that weekend, I will have to try to hook up with you another time.
Bear Burrito Oven on the Blackbird...
I have an UQP and BBO for my Blackbirds. The BBO is easier to vent where I want than a sock. (just unhook the shock cord at the head end and tuck it under or...
I usually wash my quilts a couple times a year, unless they are just sitting in a tote. I like to use Nikwax products for all of my camping gear, especially the down stuff.
Here are my steps taken...
I'm curious about that too. I think I'm going to have to try that on my next jacket washing. I normally use the Nikwax down wash, but I think I need to try this stuff.
I've used it for wrapping hot water bottles and extending the temperature range of my quilts. I like it, but like UncleMJM said, it doesn't pack well. If pack space is important, skip it. If you have...
I hear ya... I'm waiting for the DIY section to turn in to the business opportunities section of the forum.
