Olive drab green is my favorite color so Odie Green was born.
I'm excited to try it
Brilliant. I will be able to make an extra long hammock with double foot boxes.
So if I understand the video right, with Hangnouts method, you don't lose any length on the hammock. The "arched" bunches up together to form the foot box and also takes up the side slack for the...
My idea is actually kind of a hybrid of the knotty mod and the TZBrown triangle. I will post pics of my results.
I actually have an idea on how to do this and I have just enough fabric to test my theory. I will give it a try.
Anyone have any experience with a diy foot box? Has anyone ever considered making an extra long hammock and putting a foot box on both sides of the foot end so that you can change the way you are...
So how was the trip? How many people showed up? Pictures. I would have loved to make it but everything fell apart around here.
Alas, I am going to have to bow out as well! My son was awarded a scholarship for an amazing summer program that happens to be the whole month of June, 6 days a week. Sad I can't go but extremely...
I think we should all come prepared to teach the others something. Lessons learned..... Skills.... I think it would be beneficial for those who are newer to hanging such as my family.
Now you just need little mitten clips to hold a bag under it while you do your duty!
I actually use a CPAP as well but I have found that I don't need one when I am using a hammock. Part of the reason I love hammock camping so much!!!
Would anyone be opposed to me sending PM's to other Utah members to try to drum up numbers? I know I would not have seen this had I not been part of setting it up in the first place.
Any one else going to be able to make it?
pgibson, bring the family with. That is what I am doing!!!
Please tell me other people are bringing their families and kids. Otherwise mine will be bored to tears!
Are you talking about the stretch sides or does he have another mod you are thinking of. I plan on putting a shock cord the full length of the hammock on both sides to pick up the slack.
I am even more excited now! I will be making hammocks for my wife and 2 other kids. My wife is so funny because she really doesn't care for camping too much but is willing to give this a go. She...
Are you going to bring some Tenkara gear? I am dying to try it out!!!!
Bring them Derek! I have seen them hang in your videos! Then my kids will have someone to play with.

That would be awesome. What was the total so we can split it? My wife is excited to have another gal hanger!
Thank you but it only costs me 10 bucks to make them. I will make them once I make their hammocks.
My wife is even planning on trying to hang. She has been apprehensive about it up until now. The only conditions she gave me is that she has to have a bug net and I have to set up the tent with an...
OK, so who wants to split a site with my family?
My family of 5 is in. Do I need to reserve another site of have enough been reserved and we can split one with someone?
How many people went last year?
I am all for lodgepole. My wife and 2 daughters will be tenting it while my boy and I hang.
I second the vault toilet idea
Is anyone else planning on bringing their family?
I'm so in!!!!!
Flaming Gorge/Green River sound good. I can take off any time as long as I have enough lead time. My wife wants to know if anyone else is taking their non-hanging wives with perhaps an RV. She...
We saw a herd of mountain goats on our way home. Pretty cool!
I went camping this weekend in the High Uinta mountains of Utah. The first night was raining so the pitter pat of rain on my tarp helped me sleep. When I sleep at home, I have a fan and an air...
Passed right by Soapstone on my way to and from Steiner. Beautiful country up there.
Man was that an awesome trip. My boy went up a couple days before me with his scout troop. He setup his hammock and tarps all by himself. I couldn't be prouder. When it rained on Monday, Tuesday...
I'll be up in that neck of the woods for the next 4 days. I head up to camp steiner this afternoon. Our camp is just a few hundred feet from pearl lake. I'll be out there fishing tomorrow morning!
Where is soapstone? That looks nice!
Looks like I am definitely going up to South Willow lake the 2nd weekend in August. My buddy has an elk tag for up there there so we are going to scout it out for tracks. Anyone who wants to join...
Just did a more robust water test. It is definitely DWR. But it will silk worth a stuff sacks for my pack. Maybe I will even make a rain cover to go over ask the stuff sacks on my pack.. I can always...
then it is DWR. It is fraying. What is the difference?
Today was awesome. First I was at Costco and noticed a display for an air mattress that had the stuff sack full of a bunch of fluffy material. Upon closer examination it is what people have...
Car camping is definitely easier for me. I am still really new at this. The following weekend works for me. My wife would prefer we stay close as my car isn't super reliable. Upper narrows in south...
Good News: I did find out about South Willow Camping fishing
Bad News, I can't go that weekend. I have a work party that my family is invited to at Lagoon, that my kids wont let us miss, on the...
This weekend was extremely educational as a first time hammock camper. I learned a lot about my gear and know much better for next time what I want to do. I went out with all these expectations of...
Went out on my very first hang this weekend. The straps were not too bad but I DEFINATELY see the advantages of the adjustability of whoopie slings. I will be ordering some today. I will post a...
you are dead on with the level ground comment. I went for my very first hang this weekend and wound up with my feet 4 inches below my head. I kept sliding down in the hammock all night. Still the...
Here is the only link I have been able to find about South Willow Lake and it doesn't even know what kind of fish, if any, it has.
...
Interesting you should ask that. I was wondering that myself. I will ask around. It its about a 3.5 hour hike based on the tooele county website.
Im going out with my son tonight. We are going to tryout the hammocks I finished last night. This will be my first night hanging so wish me luck. I was planning on going to Middle or Settlement...
