Glad you've joined! This is a wonderful group of people!

2.5 years and 3 surgeries, and I'm sooooo ready to get back in the woods and hang!!! Alex and I don't mind sharing, we love meeting new people, and can't wait to see old friends. I'll be checking...

I'm in Cypress (think NW Houston). Seems like we always have someone hanging somewhere. I'm currently on the injured list, so am stuck hanging where the car campers go. I usually take my son up to...

So first of all, I have to apologize, I did not post right away when I received my TQ & UQ 2 weeks before Christmas. They are beautiful!! I don't have photos of them (on my hammock, at any rate),...

Sounds like an awesome trip, loved the report. Made me feel like I had been there.

I missed hanging with you guys, but got to get in the woods, sort of, with my boys, and I think I have made a convert of my hubby! ...

Lol Squid, whatever he wants! Unfortunately, I have yet to infect him with the hanging bug, still holding out hope. 😃

Hubby just ordered a 20*F Flight Jacket and Zeppelin for me for Christmas!!! Yeah! Can't wait to get it! I'm a lucky girl...now if I can just convert him...:boggle:

Lol thanks Sarge!

So, as I excitedly prepare for this hang...I got hubby to agree to come; as long as he is in town; bought camping vittals, making sleeping pads...my good friend, whom I can always trust to play...

They're the insulation pads that are used for shipping frozen items. Single piece of insulation, covered in plastic. I've tested it in my WBBB between the layers, and works pretty well, although its...

So I have several (4 to be exact, more to come) 4'6" insulation pads. I thought they would be perfect to turn into sleeping pads for my hammock. What type of material should I use to cover them?

If my doc clears me on the 24th, and if I can borrow my buddies UQ, the boy & I are in! I don't know if my new ankle 😉 is quite up to long hikes just yet, but my patio just isn't cutting it for the...

The WBBB shelf, the ridge line, and the straps your hammock is hung on are all great spots to store gear. As far as changing, sit on the edge of the hammock, or stand beside. You have your tarp in...

Woohoo! I just got my order last week!

Thanks! I'm the hanger/backpacker in the family, and until now, I've borrowed my buddy's Blackbird. I've tried a few others, but absolutely love the Blackbird.

I received my Blackbird in the mail yesterday, and am happily hanging on my patio tonight! I honestly think this is the first time I've received something that my husband wishes was for him.

Now...

Enjoy your weekend! Wish I could be there.

There's a group of us that try to go to the LSHT in the Sam Houston National Forest ever so often, right now I'm trying to convince my son that would be way more fun on Easter weekend than staying at...

I would be more than happy to be a Guinea pig for any apparel that Brandon would be willing to produce!

Great report Sparkygeek! Alex was really happy to see you guys, & so disappointed when ya'll left.

We got soaked this trip, and the sun finally came out as we were packing our gear up to go home Sunday afternoon, a day early. That being said, Alex...

Sounds like it will be lots of fun!
I have discovered that I really need to bulk up my little guy, or get really serious about lighten' up, because I'm going to have to drop some things off via the...

We aren't going to Hurricane Cove this time, we're going to a spot near the pond off Little Lake Creek Loop Trail just south of forest road 211a. Look for Sarge's post, it has the links with maps and...

It certainly does! Both Alex & I are very excited!

I'm not that far out Sarge, so I was planning on taking the Beltway to 249, or if it's after 4:30, I'll take 1960 to 249, then out.

I am really hoping to leave Cypress by 3:30 so I can avoid the 5 o'clock rush, lol. If I do manage it, we will be at the site setting up, since I take so long hiking in. ;-), otherwise, we will be at...

Bring it on, the more, the merrier!

Awesome, can't wait to meet her, see you guys there!

Woohoo! Looks like it will be a regular party! Oh, and don't worry, I will be bringing cookies. :D

You're in luck, we're going again this weekend if you want to join. See my thread in Outings...dang, can't do the link via my phone...just look for my pic!

Actually Croaker, it was the two brothers, another friend, and me. Sorry if we kept you up, thought we were being fairly quiet. Figured if we were bothering anyone they would speak up. Next time say...

Lol Zamonkey, I don't think we need to worry about you passing out. Besides, I'll have cookies!

Good deal! Next to Zamonkey & Sliver Overlord, you were the person Alex wanted me to specifically invite. I think he has a crush.

That's awesome news, I hate it when I set up in the dark to find that I need to move everything the next day because I'm over an ant bed, or other undesirables

I agree with Yankee, I spend a lot of timing looking at stuff (ohhhh, pretty, I want) reading bad reviews on multiple sites :-( & deciding against the new pretty, only to find that it's actually...

We'll leave the light on for you Sarge!

I'm planning on leaving to head up there at 1 on the 14th, which means I will probably leave around 4, lol. This should still allow me & Alex to get there before dusk for the hike in. Going to park...

Dang, you mean this hasn't been for reals? :-D

So how would I change the thread name? I'd like to change the Inks Lake to LSHT, but it won't let me. Do I need a moderator to take care of that?

Thanks Mgreg.scout, but I don't think Alex is ready yet for anything other than short excursions, and although I'm willing to push myself, I prefer to let him decide if he is willing. So far, he's...

Croaker Choker, LSHT is a go, & you & the boys a very welcome, the more the merrier! I'm up for either Hurricane Cove, or the Little Lake Loop, but leaning more towards Little Lake Loop. New spot for...

Sounds great! Do you want to set up at Hurricane Cove like last time, or try the Little Lake Loop?

Sliver I was actually trying to find something that would be more central for both of us but don't seem to be having much luck. As I told Sarge, the Grasslands are too far unless I leave Saturday...

Banshee was my CB handle back in the day, lol, goodness that makes me feel old! 68 for my year.

Zamonkey is awesome, & can always be counted on for laughs!

Lol I always bring some kind of goodies with me, I have a 9 year old son!

Sargevining, I'm thinking Caveman might be right about the distance, at least for me anyway. The grasslands are a 5 hour drive from my place, which would put us parking at 9pm. That wouldn't include...

That sounds like a great idea Sarge. I'm assuming you've been to LBJ Grasslands before?

Thanks for the info Wesbri, I'll look at Fairfield. Inks Lake is already filled, so I'm looking elsewhere.
