Thanks to all that planned this and pitched in. Great seeing everyone and loved the food.

just signed up - nothing like winter camping in the spring

Thanks to all. What a great weekend. Good to see everyone again and to meet some new (to me) hangers. Looking forward to another great adventure along the canal.

Mark, you do good work. Can't wait.

Daughter is getting married this weekend. I think that's a no go on this hang. :D

I'm in! Finally, a hang I can make.

Best laid plans... Working all weekend now. I like my job, but I'm so looking forward to retiring in a couple of years.

Things change. Sorry to hear that you guys can't make it. I've had a hard time getting to hang at all this year. I'm not able to make it Friday night, but I'm still holding out for Saturday.

You can tell i haven't been there in quite a while. lol

I think they put that up at the "back entrance" to the site about a year ago. A bit too much advertising in my opinion.

I'm still in for the weekend of the 15th - both nights. I'll likely bring extra food to share for dinner. By food, I mean meat, cuz that seems to be how we do it on the canal. Not sure yet, but I may...

we could do the weekend of the 22nd instead

Thinking about the weekend of September 15. Anyone else?

I use quilt hangers to help make it easy. Loosen both ends of the bug net. Lay the uq in the hammock. Grab one quilt hook and slip it out the end and attach it to the cl, tighten up the end of the...

I've always followed Brandon's method, https://youtu.be/YgqbxZLV4RU

Pig roast sounds fantastic. Right now, I'm free just about any weekend except the last weekend in September.

Sure, my wife's birthday weekend and now you want to hit the canal. Lol. Some day I'll hang again.

Between work and family obligations, I've been shut out of hangs for far too long. It looks like I may be able to get out Saturday morning and spend at least one night. Hope it works out. I need the...

I'm out. Can't shake this cold.

Bummer, Mark. I'm still heading out on Friday.

I'm in for both nights. Bringing some surf.

Apparently this is a working weekend for any hangers from Chicago. I'm out too. Clients pay the bills. They call, I answer. Hope to see everyone at the Windy City Winter Hang.

Mine is due here Friday. I have two trees in my suburban yard, but they're about 30 feet apart. This is going to make it so much easier for me to test equipment at home. I won't have to have a...

Cold, snow and pizza. What's not to like. I'm in.

Yeah, great overnighter. As always, a blast hanging with you and Gallo and it was great to meet Zooshooter and Her :D. Nice to meet Tim too. We could have eaten better though. :laugh:

Mark, sounds good. I'll pick up a steak and some fire wood too.
See you next time Mixter.

I'm hoping to get there about the same time. It will be good to see everyone.

Mark-

If you're still up for this, I'm in. Anyone else?

Greg

I use this method. It's not pretty, the skins just get bunched up at the end of my Superfly tarp where it meets the V. There may be a cleaner way to do this, but I still have plenty of coverage for...

Mark-

I may be able to get out this weekend. I'll let you know by Wednesday.

What a great weekend hang. Perfect sleeping weather. Got to talk with some old friends and meet some new ones. We might want to cut back on the food though. Naw! Gotta have some more of those donuts.

Okay, I'm in. I'll be bringing some chili con carne or beef stew for sharing on Saturday nite. I'll come up with something for lunch or breakfast too. (I'll fill out the spreadsheet as soon as I make...

It's looking good for me to make this one. Though, I'm not completely sure yet. I will fill out the spreadsheet as we get closer and I get more convinced that this is going to work out for me. I...

I think AE has 15' straps and WB has 12' straps

Work just threw me a curve, so I'm going to have to back out of this hang. I'll erase my self from the spreadsheet when I get to a computer.

Looking forward to it.

My favorite time of year. Putting this one on the calendar.

Contacted Hammock Gear about making me a 60" 40* Phoenix. Harry answered to let me know they could do it and at a great price. Sent an email a day later to ask if they could expedite it for a hang...

Tumbleweed, thanks for a great hang and tell Mrs. Tumbleweed thanks for the incredible rhubarb pie. It was nice to meet some new folks and check in with those I've met before. Fun times for sure!...

Mark, that's a bummer. See you next time.

Thanks for spreadsheet help.

Having trouble using the spreadsheet on my phone. Will someone note that I'm bringing a couple of small tenderloins to add to Friday night dinner and potatoes, onions and peppers to add to Saturday's...

i'm bringing a couple of pre-seasoned beef tenderloins (cracked pepper) to go with the beans on friday night and i'll bring some potatoes, onion and peppers to throw into tinfoil for saturday night...

Looks like I'll be back in time to head up on Friday. I don't know what I'm bringing yet, but I'll bring something to share for dinners and breakfast. I'll bring some work gloves too.

I might be a last minute addition to this one if that's okay. I'll be out of town the week before and I'm not sure if I'll get back in time to head up there.

I'd be up for this. I love the area, but have never hiked it beyond a few miles on a leisurely day hike. I'll go with the suggested route too.

I'd be up for this. I love the area, but have never hiked it beyond a few miles on a leisurely day hike.

We'll see how it works out as it gets a little closer to the date, but I'm putting this one on the calendar for now.

Well, it took me forever to get there, but it was nice to see some familiar faces and meet some new folks. I could have done without the 95 degree heat, but glad I made it. See you all again soon I...

Mark, what time? I'm thinking we could meet and hike in together, or are you riding in?
