Just found out about the hammock ban in WR myself. Just happened to mention in conversation with the gal at the open space office that I sleep in a hammock and that's when she told me about the...

I'm gonna reserve a site in White Ranch for a Saturday - Sunday overnighter.

Anyone interested in trying for next weekend?? It's my weekend off...

Bummer. This is my weekend to work. I've got some new stuff to test as well.

I may have to score a reservation for early next week.

Ordered a half-wit in Hexon 1.6 from this close out deal. I'm pretty pumped to get this one!

Okie dokie, I'll play. Enjoying some hot chocolate in the Roosevelt National Forest in Colorado!!

My dyneema/poly straps are inbound as well. If you make the Kool-Aid, I'll drink it.

Throw a jug of water and a washcloth in the car, along with a fresh change of clothes for when you get back to the trailhead.
You can clean up well enough to tolerate your funk until you get tons...

Like the others, I've hiked and camped here in CO. for over 25 years. I have seen ticks and have caught a few scurrying about on me, but have never had one embed itself.

That said, I've never...

I also switched from an ENO to a Dutch 11'er. I went with the 1.6 hexon myself. No shoulder squeeze and i slept for more comfortably in the longer hammock.

I also opted for the knotty mods to...

Hoping you're all having a good time! Stay safe, stay warm, and have fun! Hopefully I'll get to meet up with a bunch of ya on the next hang!

I went back and forth between the 3 and 4. I really wanted to start doing some cold weather camping, so in the end, the 4 won out.

I have no doubt you'll be sleeping snug as a bug shortly! Let us know what you think once you try it out.

i cut an old piece of cotton cloth about 24"L x 16"H and waterproofed it with some homemade waterproofer (homemade sno-seal basically). I can fold it or roll it, I'll use it as a sit mat, or a...

Mine is just a play on my name. My last name is Scruggs, so it kinda just came together... No particular reason.

I agree. I prefer testing new gear in close proximity to the car just in case...haha.

That's great advise, thank you. I'm still new to this hobby and prussicks didn't occur to me. I'm pretty tall too, so being able to utilize the full length of the quilt will be nice!

I appreciate the offer, but I'm working that weekend. I'm definitely down for meeting up on future hangs though!

Hey there folks...

New here and still new to hammocks, but I'm glad I found this thread. Good to know that there are others in the area that are into fall/winter hangs.

Just got a Greylock 4...

Hello from Colorado and another recent ground dwelling crossover!

This was taken last Thursday in Roosevelt National Forest. The gear shown is a Dutchware 11', JRB Greylock 4, and the large guide tarp by Aquaquest.

Been an avid camper/hiker for years, but a bad back makes ground dwelling too painful in the morning. A friend suggested hammocks, so here I am.

Gotta say, after 4 or 5 hangs, I feel like I...

Hello-hello,

Just thought that this was an appropriate place to drop this little tidbit...

I purchased a Greylock 4 on a Friday (late), it shipped on Monday (early), arrived on Wednesday. ...

Have been lurking a bit and researching my newest favorite hobby, but I figured it's a good time to make my first post.

Pretty new to hammock camping, but have done several overnighters trying to...
