Things have been hectic around here. Finally checked back into the forum and realized the Fall hang was almost here! I live 15-20 minutes away. I'm in.

As for the hike-ins, Harpers Ferry is even...

Sorry all. Things have been hectic around here. A pic...

You are right! No pics = no proof :)

I'll post some.

Welcome from just east of the Blue Ridge! Don't be shy about asking questions, this is a fantastic forum!

Agree wrt silnylon bang for the buck. I love my OES silnylon Mac Cat. A quality silnylon tarp will serve you well. Though i must admit, when my daughter decided she wanted to hammock camp with me, I...

Wow... this thing is light! Great workmanship as always. Now to sneak away for a hang! Great work, Brian!

Great story... love the "tent for sale"! I look at an OR bivy sack I have in my gear closet and have thought the same thing!

Ordering a 3S TQ, another 3S incubator and one of your 45-50 summer TQs... good thing I like my job :)

BTW, is there a coupon code or were the Father's day prices reflected online? :)

... first time camping (beyond sleeping in the backyard), too.

Picked up a WBBB 1.0 DL in the hopes my daughter (age 7) would want to hammock camp with me (okay... there was a bit of...

This is easily the best online forum I have participated in (better than most in person groups I've joined!)- and the only one in which I actively look for opportunities (hangs) to meet the real-life...

As a kid, I went on my first backpacking trip to Otter Creek. Your pics brought back some great memories. I think it's time to go back!

It is a rare gift to be able to inspire someone you have never met with but a few heart-felt words.

You have done that for me. Thank you.

May the blessings of God comfort and keep you and your...

Already marked on the family calendar! As a hammock Newb, I found the Spring hang to be a great way to learn (as well as meet people from the forum).

As for the park, I've been up to PGF 3 times...

If you don't mind an interloper from N. VA, count me in! :)

Cut my bag/TQ weight by over 50%- shaved 17 ounces! That alone put a smile on my face. :)

Hoping to saw some logs in it this weekend.

Qchan- love the shoelace site. Thanks! I'm going to teach that one to my kids.

Haze gray and underway... US Navy

Cannibal, thanks for this tip. Do you line your pack with anything (e.g., trash bag)?

I blame...errrr... thank him for tempting me into falling off the stove-addiction-anonymous wagon (love his timed alcohol stove cook-offs/rematches), my WBBB (Shug, you had me at gear shelf)... and...

Definitely the gear shelf.

... But the newb-proof (so far) :) webbing suspension is a close second!

1.1 DL... no bites, but I have yet to use it in warmer, more humid weather.

Count me in!

You guys are making me homesick! Vols, gin clear trout streams and surrounded by some of the best mother nature has to offer East of the Mississippi! Used to have a place on Tellico Lake... I'd move...

Welcome! I'm fairly new to hammock camping, myself. This forum will substantially flatten your learning curve and inform your gear decisions. Search the threads. If you don't find an answer to your...

Congrats! The sudden infusion of free time will seem odd at first; however, something tells me you will adjust! Looking forward to the new designs!

Have a great trip guys. Was up there the end of last week (dodged the storm). The trout were biting. The mosquitoes weren't. Perfect...

I told him he shouldn't have copied one of my DIY jobs!

Wish my phone took better pics- I'll have to describe where I am: In Shenandoah Nat. Park. Big Meadows right next to the AT... Bright, Beautiful moon. Tree branches extending upward like fingers...

I sent a note to Warbonnet Guy about my upcoming trip to SNP (leave tomorrow) and he made sure my new WBBB 1.1 DL got here in time!

Just loaded it into my pack. I'll be the envy of every ground...

Ordered on the 29th. Arrived April 1st (at first I thought my wife was pulling an April Fool's prank when she told me).

Adam and Jenny- great service!

Good point re: the lack of aluminum arrows in most archery quivers. A similar option (for those without access to broken arrows) might be the aluminum tent pole repair part REI sells for...

I intend to head up Friday AM from N. VA. I'm a hammock newb and would like (more like need)to attend the presentations; however, I can gofor and follow other simple directions (my wife may disagree...

As it turns out, I just bought one.

Specs:
21 3/8 oz (606 g)
5.5"x16" in it's original stuff sack

Here's a link to an esbit folding stove at REI. 4.5 stars after 63 reviews at REI.

The first 2 or 3 reviews give a great overview of when and how to use the stove- worth reading if you are...

Tentatively 14-17 Apr: fly fishing :)

I need to stop surfing this forum late at night- it gets expensive!

Hopefully it will be here in time for my trip to Shenandoah NP mid April.

RustyNails, I'm a stove nerd- always on the lookout for a lighter, more efficient (and cooler) design.

To answer your question re: a folding stove
- I personally like my Wetfire folding titanium...

Thanks, Optimator. Seemed reasonable; however, I am a hammock newb :)

Are there any concerns/considerations to keep in mind if I use the same stake for both my center tie-outs on my tarp (MacCat Ultra) and the side tie-outs on my WB BB DL 1.1?

flhanger, by all accounts we made a good choice. Enjoy!

Another VA hanger- welcome! See you out there!

I love backpacking and flyfishing, but the best flyfishing spots usually don't have campsites nearby. Wanting to minimize my impact, I figured I'd give hanging a try.

The helpful comments I've...

Hi all. After soaking in a lot of info from the forum the past few days (and having a few laughs along the way- thanks Shug),

I took the leap and ordered:

1 x WB BB DBL 1.1 (The foot box and...
