Hey Kurt,
Sorry for the late response. I think we are heading out on a backpacking trip that weekend. We might swing by and say hi or join y’all briefly on Friday night but our plans have not...
It’s on my calendar. I’m a definite maybe.

What does a one season Jarbridge UQ weigh? I can’t find that info on the website...

On last thought: it’s colder there than the weather would seem to indicate. The canyon is quite narrow so you don’t get a lot of sun.

You do have a permit, right? Don’t hike in without a permit reservation.

Don’t leave your pack on the ground. Hang it from your hammock at night and carry it with you in the day.
I agree that a robust food bag that seals well is a good idea.

I plan to bring myself a couple jalapeño cheese franks from Schreiner’s Sausages in Phoenix for dinner on Thursday. Would anyone else like to try them? I’ve brought tons in the past and only had one...
It looks like I’ll be coming up solo for Thursday night only. Looking forward talking with y’all and testing some new gear!

Dangit I came here to post that I'm not going to be able to join but now that I see Karl, Papke and Derek are going to be there I may have to sneak up for one night without my family...
I'm still...
And thanks for coordinating this again, Kurt.

My son and myself are definitely possible potential maybes. My wife might join us as well.
I'll update as the date gets closer.

Yes. Dispute it.

Have a good time, folks!
I'm busy that weekend and won't be able to join you.
I've been using it for a couple years. It's semi-opaque white. Not yellow. It's foodsafe... it came from a request to carry the tubing for use in gravity filter setups using Sawyer filters. Good...
I just crawled into my hammock. It's cold and clear here with a full moon. See y'all Friday!

That's too bad. I was hoping you'd be there. I look forward to our next hang (or hike!).

Good News
NOAA Forecast has the wind blowing towards:
ENE on Thursday
N to NE on Friday
NE on Saturday
NE on Sunday
The campground is about 8 miles due west of the fire. This means the...
I'm bringing some fine fine artisanal sausages from the local awesome place (Schreiners) to grill on sticks over the fire. These can be enjoyed any time anyone gets the hungry and the fire is going....
Good news!
We just spent the weekend backpacking in the area, starting west of the fire at Dane Spring and hiking down near lower Barbershop Canyon via the U-Bar and Barbershop trails. We had a...
The wind is blowing from the southeast this weekend so this would be a bad weekend to camp there. Let's just hope the wind is blowing a different direction next weekend.
The NOAA forecast only...
Perfect weather
@CBX133 was there much smoke from the Pinchot Fire?
Hey be nice. If the OP doesn't want to tie knots don't hassle him.

Kurt, The entire Cabin Loop system is around 39 miles depending on how you do it. My favorite section is the east loop, hiking the U-Bar, Barbershop and Houston Brother's trails in a clockwise...
That tarp definitively needs some glow in the dark rigging.

FYI my punk son will probably sleep on the ground. Your kids won't be the only ones.

Glad to hear you are likely to join us, Kurt.
I love hiking in this area. The Cabin Loop is a favorite although last year I got profoundly lazy and didn't hike much other than to find some quiet...
That's quite a plan, Pedro.
My vote is people bring what they want and we kind of let it happen.

I believe my clan will roll in two deep for Thursday and Friday nights. It's possible my wife or a friend might join us.

HA! I knew those must be Dutch. Didn't ZPacks use Dutch Quilt Hooks for a couple months on their doors?

Sweet rig!

And yes, I sleep on the ground. I'm even starting to prefer it in many situations!

I've got these on my SMD Deschutes tarp. I hadn't thought of trying them with my Superfly when I hang.

Thanks for putting this together, Kurt. My son and I will be there. My wife may join us as well.

I've got a BSA backpacking trip that Oscar and I are leading on Oct 7–8 so fingers are crossed for the following weekend. We'd love to join y'all on the 14–16. We might even be able to join on the...
Hey Dutch, what's the status of the SH2.0s? Any new versions?

Dude!

Wow! Reflective AND glow in the dark. That's cool!
How does the stretch compare to the standard Dutch 3/32 shock cord?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Oh and the SH2.0s worked great!

I learned a few things that night... I went to sleep in a light drizzle with my tarp in a low porch mode. I woke up exactly one hour later when my tarp collapsed catastrophically on that side. I...
The SH2.0 works great, even in the snow!

How was the snow Saturday night? I was backpacking about spent the night a couple miles southeast of y'all. I went to bed at 8 in light drizzle with my tarp in a low porch mode. I woke up less than...
Huh. I thought I chronicled my whole experience here.
The tarp arrived quickly but I was horrified to discover the seam sealing had been packed quite wet and ripped off in multiple locations as I...
Have fun, guys.
Will any of you be there on Sunday evening?

Coming in from the north is smoother and faster IMO
Cliquey? Please.

Small detail: I think it works better to hang two Hennessys head to foot so the zippers both point outwards.
