I'm a retired Navy SWCC. We trace our roots to the PBR's of Vietnam. If you've ever seen the movie Apocalypse Now, the boat that went up the river callsign was PBR Streetgang. It's a callsign that...
I was planning on heading to Dolly Sods in WVa this weekend but the weather is going to be pretty bad with rain and low ceilings, putting us in the clouds all weekend long.
We're looking at...

Looking for an incubator 20 if possible.
Thanks.
My boy is there. Heard from him a couple hours ago. Fortunately he's ok and apparently most of the injuries are not too bad. Regardless, it's a terrible thing.
My son (Ragweed) will be there. He through hiked to AT last year. He'll be in the talent contest playing his bagpipes. Please say hello to him...
He's got orders from me to pick up some Dutch clips...
Pack withdrawn. Mods please close.
Thanks.
Bump... For the weekend

Clearing out the gear locker. I've got a lightly used Gregory Baltoro 65 medium frame with a large belt in moss green. I've got maybe 15 nights on it. It's my third Gregory that's served me well. I...
I have a Big Agnes 5 degree bag with insulated pad. I've had it down to 10 degrees with a space blanket underneath the bag in my HH. It worked ok enough but I had to be careful around the area where...
Tent has been sold. Marlin thanks for the endorsement!
Tent is still for sale.
No optional pole. Sorry for the delay.
Bumped to hopefully get some interest!
I give up... I broke down. One WBBB on the way...
Time to post up a hennesy for sale...Wifey won't be happy if I don't
I have been debating whether to move to a warbonnet or not...You guys are not making this easy to resist.
My son bought this for his Appalachian trail hike this year but switched it out after just a few nights in it. He's 6'3" and the tent is 6'6" inside. Great one man tent that is extremely easy and...
Good luck on your quest!. My son is hiking this year. He passed through Damascus about a week and a half ago. He's been travelling with the now famous (or infamous) wolfpack.
Welcome from Southern MD

Bump for a great pair of packs...I'll drop both to $120 each and throw in a canteen cup if that helps.

Great job! It's not as intimidating as many think.
It''s tough to beat fog. I was on Tray Mountain Ga on Saturday night in rain then fog (cloud) in high winds...The end result was a cold wet night not due to rain but the fog. There is just no way to...
I've used permethrin since the 1990's. we would treat our uniforms with it. We could get it in the stock system as an aerosol to treat clothing. I use Sawyers now and swear by it. I've not had a tick...
Received mine today as well. Thanks for putting it together! THis stuff has some real potential.
AWESOME! Thanks for the hard work on this!
I'm in for three as well
You could use a respirator mask with the hose only on the exhaust valve and just remove the canisters. This would allow air to come in through the canister valves when you inhale and escape through...
I've noticed the older I get the colder I am in general.
My wife has a similar attitude towards my hobbies. Woodworking and backpacking are much more benign than me spending all my free time at Friendly's Bar or the Brass Rail bar.
And a bonus to...
I'd rather REI than ****'s...which is what I got. Oh well, ****'s is better than nothing.
Welcome. I made many visits to Estonia. Tallinn is one of my favorite cities in the world.
I used to travel to Paldiski to train with the Estonian Defense Forces.
My Dad was a REME in the 50's!
I was in the Boat Teams in the Navy. They descended from the Riverine Units in Vietnam and PT boats of WW2. If anyone has ever seen the movie "Apocalypse Now", they might recognize the callsign of...
Fronkey hit it.. Fire is good. In moderation of course.
It's a Sampson marketing thing. Yellow Zing it is for arborists as a throwing line. Grey Lash it is well for lashing.
You'll get no argument from me on that. Tried and tested is usually worth a few bucks..:thumbup1:
That is a great way to deomnstrate how the hammock works. Gives you the chance to explain without the boys all trying to be the first one in the hammock before you finish.
Good point, what would be the best way to proof a strap?
Speedy Stitchers are used alot by sailors for sail repair and I use one for some marlinspike work I do. They are a handy tool for small jobs.

Have fun. I haven't been there since I was a scout in the early 70's. Always a winter trip. We used to cut fire roads to help out the forest service. I'd imagine scouts can't do that kind of thing...
I found Zing-it locally at a Stihl chainsaw dealer. (Milt's for anyone in Southern MD) Zing-it was designed as a throwing line for arborists, so look places they would shop for equipment and...

And here I thought I had the ultimate coup. Yesterday I was at my local ****'s and the guy at the gun counter hooked me up with a dozen 3" pieces of CF arrow he cut for me from an unusable arrow....
Don't want to wander too far OT but is there a list of which states ban hammock use in state parks. I live in the Peoples Republik of Marylandistan and would expect this state would have such a ban.
I apologize if it's been mentioned in the thread already but my "hot water Nalgene" is also my pee bottle. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I dump the cool water out and refill it with a...
Son and I are planning on starting in late March. Probably around 20th. BTW, we'll be leaving MD a few days before with room for a few riders in the RV. If anyone needs a ride, and I have the room,...
