I am going to assume that you enjoyed this book thoroughly? I have been looking for a good book now that I face so much darkness during the winter camping months. The summary on that page makes it...

EDIT!!! Two Isles was right. No need to "re-hashing what we did in careless youth".

I 100% agree with both of your arguments:

-Using paracord on my hammock is unsafe which is why I now use doubled 6 mil climb spec rope.

-Tying between two trees in the canopy is dangerous even...

Ok, I haven't read this other post about the kid who fell but it sounds like it is 100% pointless to compare his story to mine because he wasn't using any safety gear and I am. In fact, I will assume...

Thank you!!!

Thanks for clearing that up for me man :thumbup:. Before I entered the tree I tossed my throwline up and over as many branches as I could, pulled my climbing line over, and tied one end off on the...

Well it mainly depends on two variables: the tree and the weather. In this case I had the worst of both because the tree was so difficult to climb and it was so flipping cold that I spent 50% of my...

^DUDE! If that link plays the whole movie, well, then I love you. Ha, but seriously, I have watched the trailer like 20 times and have been trying to find where I can see or buy the movie but have...

Thanks for all of the compliments guys!
I am psyched that the pictures were enjoyed so much. I hope my story was... refreshing. :tongueup:



:mellow:Refreshing:woot:

Last time I measured my base winter pack weight was under 20 lbs (excluding food and any gear specific to climbing). I have never measured the weight of my climbing gear :eek:. This is the extra...

Of course! Why didnt i think of that? Haha. I was always a bit worried about the swing that would occur if my hammock did give out but what a simple solution! Is it safe to assume that a leader is...

^Hey thanks for the heads up. Mine came with the green sticker denoting that it was not part of the recall so no worries. Thanks though!

:mellow:Refreshing:woot:

:boggle: I always wanted to do big wall rock climbing and sleep in a portaledge with 1000 feet of nothing under me. Now my ultimate dream is sleeping in the Redwood canopy. There is just something so...

Oh, and I forgot to add in the original post that the tarp works AMAZING!

Seriously, in the future I will be remaking...

I forgot to post the conditions last night and I was hoping to beat you to the punch before you asked! Honestly on the drive up there I thought there would be no snow on the trail because Duluth and...

Actually I have perfected the art quite well :D. The trickiest part to overcome is trying to undo my three layers of clothes while wearing a harness. Once that is out of the way I just throw my right...

I slept great! It was one of the most quiet nights I experienced while backpacking.

The temp was about 15 degrees. Just cold enough to make working with a rope suck....

This is a continuation from my thread that goes into detail about myhammock setup.

The trip was stupidly awesome. Here were my emotions in order:

1. Where are the big trees?
2. Look at the...
