Great video and can't wait for more. I also trained on the FT and it really helped out. Loved the footage you posted and you had fun even in the bad weather. That's some big miles and ok if you've...

Sorry to be posting to a old thread but wanted to chime in...

The GT Nano 7 is very light but should not have any trouble if set-up correctly, no sharp objects, and not overloaded.

Thanks for the post and comments everyone. The videos were a lot of fun and learned a lot about hammocks over the 5 1/2 months!

The Grand Trunk Nano 7 did the job for 4 months straight and to...

Thanks for posting this LoneOak! I posted something way back but it is confusing with the SnakeSession name here and Loner on Youtube.

Thanks also to everyone who watches or comments. Know it's...

Still hitting the trail hard and making some miles. I'm around mile 720 in Daleville, VA.

Been finding some neat places to hang such as inside Chestnut shelter. And have not had to use my...

Thanks for watching! Writing from Marion, Va. AT mile 530. Just added a little batch of 7 vids. Roan Mnt, cows, grainy black bear video, ponies, VA State line, rain, Black Bear Resort cabin,...

Thanks everyone for the comments, views, and subs. I just posted a new batch of vids filmed from the Smokies, snow, Standing Bear hostel, Hot Springs, Max Patch, Erwin TN, AT short film festival, my...

Hello and thanks to everyone for all the replys. I have a Trail Journal under the name Loner but here on the trail I don't have a phone or anyway to update it. Only have online access when I take a...

Hello everyone, My name is Jeff, 39, from Greenville, SC. Trail name Loner. I started the AT the day before Easter and just hit the 200 mile mark. The trail is a challange but having a great time...

Great trip report! Yeah that Bobcat must have been awesome to see. Been all over that trail but have yet so see one. Have heard others have so cool to hear they are out there. Liked the lessons...

I have the same hammock and am about the same size. I too have had my feet slip out several times a night but once I find the 'sweet spot' it sleeps very comfortable to me. If anything this hammock...

Thanks EVERYONE for all the nice comments! Really appreciate that and made the trip even more fun. I encurage anyone in the area to try the FHT. It's great for section hikers, day hikers, or thru...

No matter what I try can't make the video box show up, just the link! Oh well...

Hello!

Really enjoy watching everyones trip videos and made it a lot more fun to film my trip. But tuff to edit down 3 days of hiking/camping/hammocking into just a few minutes!

Here's my...

Getting excited it's almost time to get started on...

Hello and welcome from Greenville, SC. You'll love Hendo. I travel there often in the spring and summer to sell at the Smileys Fleamarket and to have fun at the skateboard park. Lots of awesome...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to check out the video and the nice comments. These will get better in the future.

Great trip reports, photos, and video guys! Had fun following this and really wish I had went. Looked like a grand time and had a great turn-out.

Great job on these videos. We've all gotten lost and night hiking is fun untill we lose the trail. Headlights coming your way is the worst though! Had a lot of laughs and you're a great movie...

Cool pics. I have the same set-up as you. I liked the WL Tadpole after I seam sealed it and added d-rings or dutch biners to the slings to keep drips from running down.

On the sticky whoopie...

Thanks Bill, really appreciate that. Came out better than I thought but will get better the more I do it.

LOL. Did not realize I breath so heavy but guess during hiking that's not a bad thing!

Thanks, will try and film some of the near vert stuff in future videos. We have a lot of steps, ladders, rock scrambles, etc here in this area of SC, NC, and Ga.

Thanks for the help with the link. I should have previewed it first. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, usually stuff like that works for me.

Thanks also for the comment. Yeah Lake Keowee is super...

Just a quick 4 mile day hike on the Raven Rock/Natural Bridge trail loop at the Keowee-Toxaway State Park in upstate South Carolina. My first hike in about 2 weeks as I'm getting over a pulled leg...

I've done parts of the Palmetto trail. The Table Rock area is nice but camping is not allowed. You can still find spots but you'll have to go stealth. The Oconee section has some steep parts but...

This is coming up quick! Hope the weather holds as it's perfect right now. Looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out some gear!

Great pics and trip report! Nothing like a few nights on the trail to end the work week.

I was in the same area and finnished my hike Friday afternoon. Glad the weather was so nice for ya. Cool...

Hello all!

Just a quick trip report on my first section hike on the AT! Hammock style!

Arrived Monday night and the Amicalola Falls visitor center was closed so signed in at the after-hours...

Love the GT UL! This is the hammock that got me hangin.

Just never slept good in the tent. Went to the outfitter to look at more sleep pads and saw the low price on the UL so gave it a try and...

You maybe can get by without making any mods if your bag has a full length zipper.

I have been using my WM Summerlite Mummy in the hammock.

Just pull the foot zipper open about a foot, slide...

I also use the WL skins for my tarp. However I found that I really only need one side (to save some weight and bulk).

I slide the skin over like normal and stuff the rest in the end. Fold it a...

Thanks Chop for the reply. Sounds like a great hammock.

I've used mine a few more nights and really like it. And gonna love the weight and space savings on my thru next year.

Goodluck to...

Welcome from Greenville SC. Cool you're getting into hanging!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Wow lots of local hammock guys here. Hope to meet some of you at the group hang.

I also have both the GTUL and the GT Nano and love them both. I'm 5'10 / 200 lbs and sleep great in either one. The Nano is plenty long enough but more narrow for me but still fit fine.

The...

The fall hang sounds like fun. And would be cool to meet you all and see what gear some of you use.

While doing the FH trail this summer my camp on the river was my favorite night on the...

Hello,

Anyone use their Grand Trunk Nano 7 on the AT on other long hikes?

I really love sleeping in mine and like the superlight weight and super tiny pack size. The quality looks good but...

Hammocks are cool!

While hiking the Foothills trail this summer saw a Hammock/Tarp set-up and thought it was the coolest shelter I had seen.

I used a small tent about 20 nights and never had...

I'm in the planning stage and getting the gear together for the AT solo starting in GA in 2012. Looking at a early March start. I'm near the mountains and will practice cold hiking/camping this...

Hey fellow hikers! Found your site from the Whiteblaze site. Lots of great info here.

I started hiking in the spring to loose weight. So far I've lost 65 lbs and hooked on hiking. Usually do...
