Depending on the dates, I might take a few days off prior and drive-camp-drive-camp my way down to AZ.
I posted a review on their Aerie 20* mummy quilt here on HF. The "owner" of the company made a HF account in order to respond. Talked about how they were understaffed and "sorry we weren't...
Hi all,
I'm a recent transplant from Phoenix. The Arizona hangs are well attended and feature pretty much the best people you could hang out with.
A few of the annual attendees have expressed...
I'd attend either way. As long as we continue to lock in dates well in advance, so that I can manage travel.
Thanks Kevin. I'm going to book my flight into Flagstaff tonight.
Any updates on how significantly the campground was affected? Seems like it's continuing to spread slowly and they're relying on the monsoons to finish it off.
...
Solo. Thursday to Sunday, leaving Sunday morning.
95% I'm in. I'll probably fly into Phoenix or Flag and drive a rental in. My car cannot make it into LVWC and I have no desire to make the drive from Denver.
If you think it covers 18, then we're good. How many slices of bacon do you estimate the 2lbs to be?
Ok, I am heading out for the provisions. Sunday Steak and Egg breakfast is based on 18 confirmed attendees for Sat night.
Wolverine, we'll need bacon for 18 people. I think 2 slices each should be...
I'm in for Thurs-Sunday, tentative for Sunday night. The first hang I attended, I did ribeye steak, grilled bacon, eggs, hashbrowns for breakfast. It was well received.
I will do this for Sunday...
I have been holding out hope that my business trip gets cancelled. I won't know until tonight, but it doesn't look good. I'll either be on a plane, headed to SLC. Or I'll be driving there starting...
I'll be there Thursday @ 2pm.
Will be just me attending, Thurs-Sun.
Just booked the 28th and 29th off work. See you all there!
Being a very warm sleeper, I'd much rather do late October. However, my wife purchased tickets to the Lights Festival many months ago.
I got the death stare when I asked how much she cared about...
Welcome! What part of AZ do you call home?
I'd love to sleep in my hammock at home. Wife said no. [emoji16]
Wow. Glad no one was hurt. I'm pretty careful and I look thoroughly for stuff like that, but who would have known . . . I think I'll be looking harder next time I set up.
Being that your one post as a brand new member is to defend the product and customer service, I can't see you as anything else other than a shill.
If you've had nothing but positive experience...
Holy dang. :scared:-- I haven't made a tarp yet, but I might be able to relate. I like using dovetails in my woodworking. When you don't cut perfectly, you have to fill a gap. And that feels like...
Great work. I'd love to see a how to.
I guess it depends if your requirements are also that it be made in the USA, and that it absolutely must be 11'+.
10'6" ripstop hammock, super wide, with required hang hardware for $45. Campy...
Short story, short. This product is awful and so is the company. I purchased this on Amazon.
First, it came without any suspension hardware. I contacted the company and was summarily ignored....
For those that had any interest in the roasted cocoa beans, here is what the packaging looks like.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170512/5cbe6b462fb6ccb859a27451b53fa903.jpg
He'll hear from me as well! RSBTR just posted up some remnants on their site. I picked up 8 yards of 1.7 Robic XL in Vader Blue for $50 shipped.
I'll be in a new hammock of one kind or another by...
Trip report has been created in the trip report forum if anyone wants to add to it.
I lived in Tucson for a number of years when I was younger, in much better shape, but not nearly as handsome. Just ask my wife. :shades: I camped in various places on Mount Lemmon every year, but I'd...
It's 96% contained, and it seems like it should be far enough away that we should see no ill-effects. I doubt we will be camping in a haze.
Right on Dennis. I'll bring the rest of those rocks disguised as charcoal from our hang in the Sitgreaves.
I'm still new to group outings, so not sure how to proceed. Catastrophe said he was bringing a kettle, so I would bring all the coffee stuff. I'll do whatever the group wants, so if we can have the...
I'll be there, for sure. I'm packing Thursday, heading out Friday morning, after rush hour dies down.
I'm guessing it'll take me approx. 4 hours, so I'll be arriving 1-2pm
I'm bringing coffee...
Definitely. I don't see it making it to 90*, but either way... I'm hoping for some weather. Would love a bit of rain.

In Google maps, type your destination as "Turkey Creek Campground".
Google shows the location as either Cochise County AZ or Pearce, AZ.
I want to do the hike. I have a foot injury that is nearly healed. So long as that continues and I can get some trail time in the next couple weeks to get myself back in shape, I'm in.
Regarding the Sat morning hike, from the NPS trail guide:
MODERATE HIKES – One to four hour
hikes with elevation changes of 500 feet or
less. Gravel trail surfaces.
ECHO CANYON TO VISITOR...
AZSteelman - Thanks for letting me try out the JRB underquilt. And give a thanks to Cindy for that fantastic banana bread.
Pedro - Thanks for the intro to the cloud view. The stand you built is...
Dang, Wolverine. Sorry to hear that. -- I'm on my way up.
I work a half day tomorrow and will be leaving Phoenix just after noon. I'm guessing I'll get there somewhere around 3:30.
Looks like there is 7 attending, with Belke getting in on Saturday.
I'm bringing breakfast for 7.
That looks amazing. We're going to need a lot of butter!

How about ribs? [emoji39] They take 2-3 hours, but turn out pretty good in a Dutch oven. I made them in a Dutch oven on a stove in a BBQ class a couple years ago. Only time I've done it, but they...
Thanks AZsteelman! Link isn't working for me, but the directions seem simple enough.
Could you provide pins? I'm not familiar with those roads.
The lake spot makes me think 500 people... But I've never been there either. Is it a busy spot?
Ok, I just talked to a ranger. It's an area closure. All roads leading to the Rim are closed until at least the 14th. Any additional weather will push that to the 21st or 28th.
So we need to...
Are you saying that 139G is off the board? I wasn't going to take 300 due to the amount of traffic. I intended to bypass 300 via the 87 and take the 95 south to 139G.
Just want to make sure I...
I'll bring everything, it's only logistics I'm unsure of ... I'm used to cooking for one. This is my first group camp of any kind.
I figure I'll bring coals because in Kaibab, you only find...
I'm bringing breakfast for Sat or Sun morning (doesn't really matter). I'm thinking steak and eggs and etc., since the group isn't all that big, but I'll bring whatever you guys want. Name it ...
