What no IX? with all the insultex promotions going on, I'm sure someone would be calling for at least 1000 yds of IX.

It sounds like you are going to have an AWESOME set up even w/o the insultex....

@ Medicine Man - Thanks for shooting the video of this hang and for demoing your supper cool Kodak Playsport HD camcorder. I just had to have one so I managed to have a birthday coming up:thumbup:...

he might have only "laughed" one time, but it was a hearty, body shaking "laugh" that started from way down deep in his belly.

Yeah he was just bubbling over with humor:scared:

Hey MedicineMan, It was great hanging with you this weekend.

Vid clip not working for me.

I think I was laughing about someone blowing an O-ring.:scared::crying:lol::lol:

Just sitting here lookin at some of the pics that Dameon posted of this hang. It was an awesome event and I can't wait to make the next one. I am still full from the boil and the p-nuts.

This is not my pic, but that looks like the scene from Moon's Landing

What time do we plan on meeting at Moon's Landing? or are we planning that?

The reservation was free and the permits states - No alcoholic beverages allowed (paraphrase).

I don't see why there can't be some adult beverages just off shore.

We do. I reserved the entire island. Some sites might be better than others for hanging though.

Bump.
Good I thought you could.

With the number of people signed up for this hang, how much corn will we need for the boil? I would like to sign up for the corn but would not like to put down a stupid # in the spreadsheet.

Put me down for a table. I can get it to the boat ramp but not to the island. I will also bring sausage if needed. How many more #s. I can also bring butter and Salt and Pepper (here cause were...

Great report. Thanks for posting. I am so familiar with that area I don't think to describe it. In my mind, everyone knows it as well as I do. I am hoping this will be a good trip.

Other than having to cross the lake, I think Moon's landing would be the best bet for a group. You are correct about the Watt's Bridge Rd boat ramp. You might be able to park 4 cars there.

When you are from the "Low Country" of South Carolina, it is called low country boil. :)

I will be bringing my kayak and canoe. I am sure we can shuttle people from Watts Bridge Rd or even Moon's Landing across the lake if need be. I am also sure some of the people with them thar new...

Yeah, what Muskrat said. More = Merrier

I'll pony up some money for fresh "strimp" (daughter's pronunciation).

Low County Boil sounds great to me. I'll bring the smoked sausage.

Now that there is a solid date for this, I am going to start a preliminary head count for this trip. I also want to let everyone know that I have an extra 2 man canoe available for this trip. I will...

I went ahead and reserved the entire island. There are 5 sites on the island and a max # of 10 people per site.
Lake Management Department of Greenwood County is HAMMOCK FRIENDLY:D
If it looks...

OK - I am back. Sorry for the delay in responding to posts here. I am swamped with work and school.:scared: I am currently taking night courses thru PTC here in Greenwood for Computer Technology. ...

I have been to this boat ramp before. It has "legal" parking along the edge of the road provided you do not block the ramp access. I would be afraid of putting more than 3 or 4 cars there for a...

The map "looks" like the island is attached but the water is just shallow there. The photo might have been taken during a drought or when the water level was low for dock construction. I have been...

I just got off the phone with Gloria over at Moon's Landing RV Park and Marina. She informed me that there should not be a problem with us parking our vehicles overnight. They have a parking lot...

Thanks for posting the map Muskrat. Here is another map showing the route from Moon's Landing in Cross Hill to Goat Island

It looks like the closest public boat access is almost straight across the lake at Moon's Landing (4105 Watts Bridge Road, Cross Hill, SC‎ - (864) 998-4292)‎. This should be a short paddle to the...

Cooler weather sounds fine with me.:) I am game for anytime in the Fall. It will give me enough time to put together even more gear.:D

My daughters are 7 and 4 and they both have homemade gathered end hammocks. I am into the DIY. I enjoy the carbonated adult beverages as well, but not when I am supervising the children.

May is pretty much booked for me too. I have little time off with work and school and family but I should be able to squeeze a weekend trip into June, 2nd half of July, or August. I might even be...

I've got a kayak and an extra canoe but no motorized boat. I can offer the canoe which is rated to 900#

I am definitely interested. I will help in the organization of this if I can.
From the map, it looks like the nearest boat ramp is at the state park.
