Pan, thank you so very much for your offer! I'll call you first thing Monday morning. Very nice of you - thank you!
**UPDATE**
Thanks to Pan, I scored a great deal on a brand new JRB Nest - Thanks a million! And thanks to the folks who PM'd me with ideas and an offer - much appreciated!

In a few days I'll be posting a Black Rock Hat for sale at $125 - in case anyone wants to strip me of the title of 'Most Expensive Black Rock Hat'.
Surely somebody will want to 'one up' me...??
I think I'll have the dubious distinction of acquiring the most expensive Black Rock Hat in our crazy group of hangars. It's all good, though. The universe works in mysterious ways. I, for one, am...
Hey man, sorry to hear about the deal falling through. But not THAT sorry, because...
I'll take it. No ifs, ands, or backing outs.
Sending a PM, just let me know where to send the cashola....
I'll take it. Sending PM.
I thought the other HH was sold... no?
I wouldn't miss it! Count me in, and thank you!
Thanks DivaB! Those links DID actually get me thinking a bit. I like the idea of channels which can be packed with [insert insulation type here] according to purpose. Very cool.
Yes, I was thinking the same way about it - just fashion an UQ and whip it into a hammock.
This hammock would likely see use by my coņos (my beloved brothers-in law) who are large men. Not in...
Hey Y'alls! As I have espoused many,many times, my google-fu is pretty poor, so please forgive me if this idea has been beaten to death previously somewhere else.
I am contemplating my next DIY...
Hey, if you guys have a plan/pattern/stream of consciousness for the design and construction of a sewn-through down summer quilt, I'm all ears. I have some ideas and I have made 7 quilts to date...
I think we're gonna have to make some Shug-style videos, what with all that lovely Q!
No problem on the suspension. I'll coordinate with Doc on the shipping. Congratulations!
This is a great case- I have one and I have nothing but great things to say about it. If you trek in the outdoors like we all do, this case is a must have! GREAT price at $30! Someone is gonna get a...
Oh, also... While my own smoker does not lend itself to transport, I'd be happy to smoke some butts, pull the pork, and bring 'em down to share. I have 2 types of slaw, one classic and one that si a...
This is to expound upon my 'other' fund raising selection in the poll.
I think a raffle is a great idea, but it doesn't need to remain the domain of our beloved cottage vendors. I am on a...
Thanks WRR and Thirstybear! These quilts will be sewn through - no baffles - and will need to pack down to sub-cantaloupe sized. I could just grab some ripstop form JoAnns, but theirs is somewhat...
It's in my calendar... will look for a spreadsheet or something for fooderific contributions.
You know Doc, I may just be interested. Would you entertain an offer? I'm funds-limited and I don't want to waste your time - my offer would be under $100...
My google-fu isn't all it could be! I'm looking for a very light weight down proof breathable fabric for DIY summer top quilts - has anyone seen great deals during the holiday sales season?
I'm in.
My smoker isn't portable, but I can bring some butts for smokin', my killer slaw, and some blackstrap molasses baked beans. Oh, and cornbread, if course. My wife isn't well, but should...
Hey, Welcome! Good luck in developing your kit - hope to see you at a hang soon!
Hey, I've got a stock HH EXP suspension I'm not using. It has been used for maybe 30 nights, no chafing or wear. I'll donate it to the cause, just pay for shipping. It will likely fit in a small...
Thanks for your quick shipping and awesome sale prices over Veterans Day Weekend. I enjoyed meeting Pan at the fall MAHHA, and I can't wait to get my new gear out into the forest!
Best Wishes,
...
It's got a core, and since Pan was actually administering the raffle - with a ton of JRB stuff on the table- I think Stack and Fronkey may have nailed it. Thanks for having a look guys!
I received this package during the raffle at MAHHA a couple of weeks ago. It looks nice, but I have no idea what this line is made of, how strong it is, or what it is meant to be used for.
Do you...
Thanks for your replies!
I attached the HH tarp to the carabiners last weekend, which seemed ok. The tarp ridgeline wasn't perfectly crisp, but I'm ok with that. I seem to be a ranger-magnet...
No response - I guess we can close this one out.
I'll take the REI rain jacket. It's going to a good home where it will be used and cared for. Been looking for over a year for a breathable rain jacket that I can afford - thank you so very much!
Hello Stu and everyone! I finally installed All-In-Ones on my HH Exp and I've noticed that attaching the prussic mitten hook and stock tarp to the suspension is specifically mentioned as not doable...
You know, that's exactly what I would be doing, except for numerous postings by hangers and even Stu himself specifies that the tarp should not attach to the suspension. In the installation video he...
2Tall, I'll have a Wally World 8 x 10 if all else fails (see above.) Perhaps, by the time we meet, I'll even have some idea of how to hang it nice and pretty. It's yours for the asking.
I think I've probably posted this in the wrong spot. Admins please feel free to move/remove.
Can't wait to attend my first hang tomorrow at Gathland! Today I'm cooking and packing my gear, and I'd like to reach out for advice about hanging the stock HH asym tarp.
I'll be converting my HH...
I'm at home today getting ready for the MAHHA hang tomorrow. I received a set of All-In-One Whoopies some time ago and haven't installed them yet, mainly because I only have the stock HH tarp - which...
I'll take it, PayPal all loaded up and ready to go, should the hold expire.
Going back through the NPS website, there is a bulletin with lots of info for hikers on the AT. Here is the blurb:
• Camping is restricted to through-hikers who are hiking for two or more...
I was just there last weekend, fishing and floating down the river. From the AT if you hike west (see the park map and google aerials) to the river, there are campsites on both banks, but more of...
Here's an additional wrinkle. We are airline flight crew, so we are limited in what we can bring both in terms of size and the potential for confiscation by airport security. There is no rhyme or...
I occasionally find myself in a developing country where the sanitation standards are somewhat less than what I am comfortable with. Has anyone mastered a way to hang in a hotel room?
On my last...
That's my concern, too. I usually fall asleep on my side and then wake up on my back laying straight out.
Rut Ro. Now I feel the need to redo the suspension. Those are great pics, dirtwheels!
grannypat - I've got some 1.1 left over from my quilt making that might be perfect for a chair like that. Did you sit in it? It looks pretty cool!
Thank you, John! That is an incredibly generous offer! With your inspiration, I think I'll repair the netting. I've got some netting here left over from making my UQ and TQ which should fit the bill....
Hey 4 dog knight - Thanks for your reply! And thanks for your suggestions about repairing the netting. I've had the hammock up in the yard and it lays just fine, with no apparent damage to the actual...
I was at an outdoor retailer's store today hoping to score some Labor Day sales and, as I often do, I rummaged through a box of returned stuff that is marked down for quick sale. Among the items was...
I'm in! Been thinking about moving on from my HH - thanks a million for offering this opportunity!
CFI - If you're flying your own rig KJYO is right next door, and the fees are much more affordable than IAD. Happy to get you the gouge for the field here if you need it - nice level runway with...
For any folks thinking about flying in from elsewhere, I am happy to provide a ride from Washington Dulles to the hang on Friday afternoon, returning to the airport on Sunday. I've got room for 3...
