Thanks! Good to know. Are any of the paved roads washed out? There is a pine stand near one that I camped in last time that would make a great first night out for my wife.

I've been in hibernation due to getting married at the end of November and having other family things since, but I'm itching to spend a night at Cross Timbers or LBJ very soon.

What's the price of the wristies shipped to 76106?

I'll take 2nds.

Funds sent.

I'll take them both.

+1 on Z-line. I bought some off of a member here last year and love it for my guy lines. I'm still using braided mason for my CRL but I hate the tangle and just bought some lawn it that I'm psyched...

I'll be watching this thread. Move never been to Caddo but I'm interested. I think June is pretty wide open for me.

People say 30' for a CRL. I've been using braided mason line for mine and it tangles so easily and I have so much left over that I think 30 is too much. I'm about to switch to lashit and I think I'll...

I think the general consensus for the rule of thumb is 83% of the length between the attachment points of the hammock and ridgeline while it's flat (not hung).

I'm not nearly as experienced as others that have commented, but maybe that puts our perspectives closer.

I'm not sure that going lighter I the hammock would be my first step if I were in your...

I used to use braided mason line and I agree with gunner, it LOVES to tangle. I now use something I bought off of a member on the FS forum called Z-Line which is spectra and I really like it a lot. ...

Funds sent.

I'll take it.

All 60 ft.

You are a good granddad.

Welcome from Fort Worth!

Payment sent.

I'll take it. PM me your info.

This is a great read O.H. I've been wanting to get around that area ever since I learned about the Ouachita Mountains, but now I see I better get in better shape first! Sounds like fun, thanks for...

Sorry I have to rescind. I didn't see the capacity.

I do too except I bought pricey rings and carabiners from Amazon. Well, you need good biners but I also bought Omega Pacific rings that were pricey. I like the system though. I did have a lot of...

Welcome from TX! It's always interesting to me to hear what people that are new (as am I) buy first, second, and so on.

I hang mine too now that I have my own dedicated gear closet. Before that I laid the TQ I had flat on a shelf in my closet folded.

The thing about hanging though is I don't like to hang them by...

Welcome from Fort Worth!

Always like seeing reports on the LHST. Great report. I hope to make it down there some day.

Seems like everyone's going with 11' now. I mean, that's not really true, but it used to be a suggestion for people taller than 6'. However I've see a ton of people on here than are shorter than...

You ARE the widow maker! I love trees but I prefer the ground perspective. Awesome pictures!

If you just found this you should for sure read the full book that this is from called The Ultimate Hang by Derek Hansen. Awesome book. Tons and tons of information that is super easy to follow.

That's looks sweet. Gives more personality to them.

Are you using these as whoopie hooks?

I'll take it. The wasps.

If there are any left I'll take two of each size to 76106 please. I'll look out for a PM.

I'm from LaFayette. Some of my friends up there are meeting me at Wanee. You should bring that thing down there, you can probably ride with them.

Hmm. That's odd. They're showing as two linked thumbnails on my screen.

Here's a cow patty. I can't believe I took a picture of a cow patty, but at the time I couldn't figure out what made...

Updating for posterity:

I got out to Black Creek Lake around 13:30 on 3/7/2015 after foolishly trusting turn by turn navigation instead of just looking at the map like I usually do. I got out and...

Very interesting. I think this may be exactly what was happening on my Dutch Argon and Greylock 3 last night! My back was toasty but I had cold spots under my upper legs.

Sorry man, I never...

What size is #6?

This gave me quite a chuckle sitting at my desk. Thanks Sarge!

A little further south than Chattavegas, but there is a trailhead of the Pinhoti on East Hwy 136 between Ringgold and Calhoun. It's called Snake Creek Gap. It's a National Forrest so you can camp...

Haha. Well, I'm speechless. Great advice that I certainly can't contend. I'm looking forward to some spring time walks in TEXAS!!

I don't have any experience on the DIY side, but I can tell you about my experience with Velcro. I have a JRB Hudson River too quilt that I bought on the forums. I didn't realize that a previous...

Yup. The livestock concern is the one I have about LBJ. I've never been up there I've just heard that there is some surrounding pasture.

However, you're point about caching water is what I mean...

Interesting you mention that rhjanes. I did that as my first TX hike last autumn. I was a little concerned about drinking from the lake with all the activity it had. But, I'm new to most of this and...

See I'm the opposite, LSHT is not terribly far but it does take significantly more prep (time from work and such). That's why I've always been interested in 4C as an inexperienced backpacker.

I...

Okay, so the new date is 3/20. I'm hoping to make a trip to Frisco that week for a birthday celebration but if that doesn't happen this is definitely my thing. The SF trip may be too costly while...

I'm surprised nobody chimed in on this one. I'm not a native Texan but I've read that this is a really nice trail. Seems a lot of this forum really likes LHST the most though. But that might be due...

Odd I came here looking to see if anyone had been on this section and I find it's a recent thread! If the dates work out I might be interested in joining.

All PMs replied to and a deal has been made. Thanks folks!!

One last bump.

Thanks Ickeeper. Still looking.

After thinking a little more about it I should clarify that I have no experience with down UQs and hope to find something that is known to have little or no fiddle...

Bumping this now.
