Should be there by noon give or take an hour tomorrow. Got to stop along the way and pick up a Frogg Togg coat. My son sort of miss placed mine. In other words he lost it. LOL
Put in for the 7th and 8th off. I plan on coming up Thursday and heading out after lunch on Saturday. Got some plans for Saturday night with some friends so have to get on back home. At least a...
It was good to see you there. I think you and I had the ideal hanging spot down that little hill next to the creek. Made for some good sleeping. The Hangsgiving Hang was a great hang. I believe the...
Great video Brother Bones. Sure have missed the Enchanted Forest.
Will definitely try my best to be there. I got 3 classes left to finish my MBA and hopefully I can swing it that weekend. I surely need some time in the woods.
Looks like it will be on the weekend in between my classes. I should be there. Hopefully, it will be cold enough to bring the Smokehouse and stove again. Set a new personally low of 3 F in that...
I actually fired it up on Saturday afternoon just to do an initial first burn in the stove. This put a memory in the titanium stovepipe so next time I can roll it by myself. It took 3 people to roll...

Was tickled how well the Smokehouse Outfitter and the Seek Outside titanium stove worked out. Will definitely use it for my winter/cold weather outings.
Great time Phantom, the food Saturday night was fantastic. With a full belly, my 1 hour nap turned into an 8 hour nap.
I should get on the road around 1 and hope to arrive between 3 and 4.
My Smokehouse Outfitter came in today. Just need to find me 2 good trees at Yates to try it out this weekend. 2 trees at Yates???? Is that possible??? LOL
Was hoping for some cold weather, but will fire off the titanium stove anyways just to get it burnt in.
My Smokehouse Outfitter shipped today, so looks like either a late Friday or early Saturday arrival for me. Hopefully Friday. Can't wait to see how this thing does.
I've got a Smokehouse Outfitter on order and should be here before Yates. Titanium stove due this week. This MBA coursework is taking up my hammocking time, but if I can swing it I plan on being...
The Smokehouse Outfitter 2 is basically a tent designed for a hammock.
Dag, No Maytag and No Capt. Morgan.
My brother-in-law and myself should arrive after lunch on Friday. We plan on hiking in to Dutchmen's Creek and sleeping somewhere along the trail Friday night and be back to Yates sometime Saturday...

20 deg Lynx, 0 deg Mamba, Zlite pad and I was fine. Got down to 7 F that night best I remember.
I was talking to my brother-in-law the other day about this hang and he plans on coming with me. I've started back to school working on another degree so my hammock time has been reduced a bit....
My son starts his Eagle Scout project this weekend, so I will be busy helping him for the next few weekends. Sorry I'm going to miss this. See you all at the Smoke Butt Hang.
I'm pretty sure I'll be there myself.
Any idea or dates of a possible Spring Hang at Yates Place? Just curious.
Everyone be safe and take lots or pics or some good video footage of all the snow falling.
Pretty sure I'll be there myself. Had a great time last year.

It got down to around 8 to 10 deg that night and it worked perfect to block the wind.

Or you could do a pole mod.
The weather forecast is looking perfect. 70's during the day and upper 40's for lows, and plenty of sunshine. I hope it holds.
I'm still planning on heading that way Friday morning.
I used a Zlite SOL pad before I got my Lynx underquilt and it worked nicely in my WBRR.
My daughter wants me to make her a tablecloth hammock for her bedroom. As soon as we pick out her color, and get it in, she will be hanging full time in her bedroom.
I'm ready too. I hope it's nice and cool like last year.
Excuse me but I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG!!!!! If he doesn't want to camp any more that's his decision not mine. As far as gear goes, if he ever wants to go again, I have more than a plenty to cover...
Actually its mine, he has just been using it. He could care less about camping now.
My son is fixing to eagle out of Scouts and a lot of his gear will be unused. I'm deciding on whether to sell his gear and put the money towards a Smokehouse Outfitter Hammock Tent for some really...
Welcome, I'm not far from you. Lots of great peeps and tons of info up here. Hit up some of the up coming fall hangs.
Congrats. Hopefully you can make some of the hangs coming up in the next few months.
Nice. I have a 20 and 0 deg yeti and love them both.
Thanks for the pics Sandman. Those Kingsford pics are classic!
BINGO!!! Give that man a cigar! Thanks Shug.
Nope that's not the one. The one I'm thinking about was some type of silnylon type of material and packed into a stuff sack with stakes for the walls. You could configure it in many different ways.
A couple of years ago, a very unique tarp was listed on the FS section. The tarp went all the way to the ground all the way around. It basically looked like a tent but was a tarp for a hammock. The...
Have a good time guys, got to work and can't make it this go around. I will look forward to the trip reports, pics and videos.
On my calendar, I really enjoyed last years hang.
I started with a pad and it worked just fine. I eventually got the lynx just for packing size and weight.
Wow, that sucks. I never use a blade just for that reason. I hope you can get it repaired.
We moved in our brand new home in '97. Our twins were born in '99. Now they keep asking when I plan on fixing this or repairing that. I tell them in 2 yrs when you guys go off to college and can no...
I used my 11ft Dutch Fronkey net at the Smoke Butt Hang and it worked perfectly. It fit my DIY hammock like a glove.
I am. Can't see them.
I had a wonderful time this weekend. The food was fantastic as always. Hot lips and Kingsford did a fantastic job. It was good to see Maytag and Capt Morgan again. I'm glad I got to shoot the breeze...
