Very generous! Thanks very much! I'm in!
This is what I've carried for about the last three years. It's light, comfortable and packs down really small. (2.4 oz)

Never been to this location before. Is it on the SC or Ga side of the river?
This what I use. It packs down really small.

Hey All,
I dropped the price on this stove.
Hey All,
I have one of the first Emberlit UL (Titanium) stoves that Mikhail made. I've used it probably 4-5 times. The UL model sells for 79.99. I'm asking 65.00 free shipping (CONUS only...
Welcome from NW Georgia!
I have a 20 degree under quilt but I still use a NeoAir mattress. It doesn't move around on me and I like the way it sleeps. It packs down to the size of a Nalgene bottle so size isn't an issue.
I really enjoyed meeting everyone. I'll make the next hang.
I may be able to make this trip.
Welcome from NW Ga!
Welcome from just up the road!
I have a hammock stand with eye bolts. I use carabiners with my suspension.
Welcome from NW Georgia!
This is a cool idea. Having said that how dangerous would it be for everyone to be hanging in a large framed network of metal during a lightning storm?
I bought a couple of these to try this year.

I use one all the time. I don't know the specific R value I get but I've slept down to about 40 or so comfortably with it. I still use it even when I use my UQ because I like the cushioning I get...
Never been to this location (Chattooga). Could you send directions to where the hang will be? Thanks!
Here is a larger photo of the Lake Murray's route. The pencil tip marks the lake.
I took a photo of the topographic map showing the roads into Murray's Lake (see attachment). From Atlanta, take I-75 North to the exit for route 411. Take 411 north to Cisco. There is a small brown...
I'm in if the date is right. There are supposed to be a lot of Bass in that lake too. Might make a nice dinner!
Here are some of the photos I took at Murray's Lake on this past Saturday.
I plugged those coordinates into google and it is the logging road into the lake. You can see the lake on the map. There is a concrete boat ramp into the lake. No picnic tables. There are a couple of...
I was on the AT this past December with winds gusting one night to about 35 MPH. The temp was about 20 degrees. I have a Clark NX 150. I set my tarp up with a front porch and the back side low to the...
This past weekend I took my Jeep up to the Jacks River area. I went up to a small lake called Murray's Lake. It covers about 5 acres and has numerous camp spots around it. You can access the lake on...
I do mostly late fall/winter camping so that isn't something I deal with (snakes and bugs that is) :)
The other issue if you are only using a snorkel configuration not connected to CPAP you'd be breathing a higher percentage of CO2 (rebreathing your own breath).
If you go to Google maps and enter the coordinates in the search window like this 36.294409,-83.298383 it will drop a pin right on the location.

Welcome from NW GA (I also have the Jeep bug). :)
I pretty much only winter camp so I have a fire every time I'm out. I not only enjoy the ambiance, but it is nice for the warmth as well. I don't sit downwind from it or too close, so I don't worry...
Welcome from a close neighbor. I live just up the road from you.
Welcome from a fellow Georgia hanger. Be forewarned, this forum can get expensive because of gear envy!:)
I might be interested too.
Welcome to the forum (also from NW Georgia).
Now that made me laugh out loud. But I know what you mean. It's amazing how quickly yesterday's "high tech" is not around anymore.
Hi,
Here is a graph from the Clark Jungle Hammock website. Their hammocks aren't cheap, but they are well made and can hold a lot of weight. I own the North American and the NX-150 models. Here is...
I bought a cheap nylon net hammock on Amazon. I hang it between the same two trees under my hammock. It keeps everything dry and off the ground.

I'm pretty sure that after a good rainstorm any residual oatmeal I may have inadvertently dropped would be washed away. I don't and have never prepared an elaborate breakfast that requires cooking.
That's why I like oatmeal. :)
I always cook dinner away from where I sleep, but I cook breakfast in camp. I don't worry about breakfast because I'm packing up to leave anyway. I typically have something simple for breakfast like...
Up for sale is my Bushcooker LT I. I only used it for one season. The metal is discolored from the heat, but it is structurally as good as new. It's made from titanium and weighs 2.5 ounces. It will...
Welcome! There is a ton of great information on this site!
Cloud land canyon park is pretty nice. They have a parking lot and short trails back to the camping sites. I've hung there before.
Welcome Snakehandler!
Nope. By the way, is this trip going to involve backpacking or is everyone leaning toward car camping?
Welcome Steve. Be forewarned this site is going to cause you to spend money! :laugh:
Hey All,
I traveled to John's Mountain this past Saturday to see what it was like. I took several photos and posted them in my gallery. Forest Service Road 702 leads to a day use only picnic area....
In case anyone is interested in trying one, I found this how to link.
