Thats too funny. Ive got a friend who just recently moved here (the St. Louis area) from Colorado also! Welcome! Which area are you in, I'm out in St. Peters

I should have posted, that my Shamu arrived safely in the mail, and its amazing. Being my first UQ, I CAN'T wait to try it out! Thanks again. I'll try to remember to report back once its been put...

I agree with pgibson above, if hex is the shape you want, start thinking of uses for the parts you cut off!

I saw these on facebook, they look great, and well made! Might get up the cash to buy one, some day, lol

Add it to the list of places I must go see! Long drive from St. Louis though! Thanks for sharing!

I found a small diameter 3/8" solid aluminum rod in a patio umbrella that was being thrown out. It was the pin that held the umbrella open to a certain height. It was about 7" long with a hole in one...

Paypal funds sent for bladders

Wish I would have had a fan on our summer backpacking trip (short hike, would have been worth it) daytime highs were near 100 degrees. Luckily we had nice swimming holes for the heat of the day. I...

Thank you both for that info. Would you think the down was even worth harvesting? The tag says minimum 75% white duck down?

Wouldn't fit me, but it's awesome of you to offer it up to these folks!

So, I have this BIG (queen?) down blanket/quilt to harvest down from, but not the skills or time to invest in making a tq/uq. If I was to ship you the blanket, you make me a quilt, and keep the...

Well, why not. I'll throw my hat in for a shot. I've been needing a tarp setup!

I'll take the 3 hydration bladders. Will pm for details. (I'll need to add money to my PayPal account. It typically takes 3-5 days, so if that's an issue, you can pass to next person.)

I've hung at Washington State Park outside DeSoto, MO and never had anyone say anything to me or check my suspension. I had called down there before hand and got the same, similar, response. "Use...

You could write a novel out of that! I couldn't stop reading. With chills no less!

I always enjoy reading scary, creepy, spooky stories in the woods / camping / hunting etc before a good camping or backpacking trip to really get my imagination riled up! Hope by bumping this, we...

45th addition to Missouri

Just an FYI. Just spoke with the owner on the phone, he was a pleasure to speak with and was more than fair with a deal!

Ok, I'm feeling lucky! Add me to the drawing, and thank you for the opportunity!

What are the chances you will be doing another Fathers Day sale this year?

Thanks in advance for any reply!

For now, I'm using braided masons line on my tarp, and I use a MSH over the stakes and drive them in. So far so good.

Awesome. Congrats!

Awesome of you to offer the opportunity!
I'd like to attempt a quilt set.

Cotton kills! Lose it and upgrade. Especially if you wore it at all before turning in for the night. It may have "felt" dry, but it likely was not completely dry.

Woo hoo. I'm in. Thank you for the chance and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Boooo... already have plans for a "shooting/camping/hanging weekend"

Hopefully I can catch one soon

Here's a couple of shots that give you an idea.

Yes, there was good spots for jumping. The picture you are referring to was one, and it was ok, but you had to be careful, probably about 5 1/2 foot deep. But then one friend and I hiked up the creek...

The 6 of us met at my brothers house in St. Louis Friday after work. We loaded into two SUV's and headed south. Got down to the trail head a couple hours before dark, and as planned, we car camped...

did that work?

nice... now to 90356 try and embed them in the actual text...

wow, go me!

Not sure if I can make that or not, but maybe check this out... hanging below the Mina Sauk Falls sounds amazing.....

Who should a newbie like myself keep an eye out for posting plans for a fall hike/hang. Hope to make it out to one or more!

Did you see the directions on diygearsupply.com? That's the plan I followed.

So I'm guessing there's no great way to separate the feathers from the down?

Has anyone had luck or problems just running the shock cord through the hem/channel of the hammock sides, through burnt holes?

keep the skeeters from bitin' yer butt!! Or so I hear.

Or, an offshoot of the OT, how about the loop around council bluff lake? Don't know if that's too far from you or not.

So I just picked up a queen size down comforter, sterilized white duck down, minimum 75% down. Total cost.... $10. Hope to one day turn it into TQ and UQ..... Still working on finishing up my tarp,...

Just like the title says, I bought some sil for a diy tarp, (gonna make the winter tarp from diygearsupply.com template) and read somewhere about some tarps having an inside and outside. Just curious...

If you have not tried one yet, check out their amazing chairs. I forgot the name of them, but they are under 2# and amazingly comfortable! Two friends have them, and I do not...yet. so jealous when...

Where did you get the 10% coupon?

Thanks

Hey all, Dave here, aka Pkupmn98.

New to hanging, long time camper. Looking to hammocking as an option for lighter weight and comfort for backpacking. Back in January, my wonderful wife gave...
