The first one is great. Can't wait to see the others.

Grayson Highlands and AT around there is another nice place to walk and hang with some occasional wild pony sightings as a bonus.

Count me in. Thanks to you both for the generosity.

I'm in. Thanks Dutch and Ben. Merry Christmas.

Welcome from Winston Salem

If I was a single lad then hammocks would be absolutely perfect. As a married person, hammocks can create a lot of tough decisions ... snuggling with the wife or sleeping out under the stars in the...

Winston Salem, NC here

Received my 3S Incubator and Burrow this week. Beautifully constructed pieces.

Hopefully the weekend will bring some cooler testing weather to play in :)

I too would be interested.

I had a friend who's philosopy was he hiked until he was too tired to care about how his tent was set up - perfect sleeping conditions every time that way :)

If only he had known about hammocks...

I don't know about polyester but the ones you made for my spinn ul are perfect. Thanks !!

I've used a Ridgerest with a 20 degree sleeping bag and have been very happy with the comfort and warmth. I did just get a 3 season set from Hammock Gear that I am dying to try out however. I just...

I have a 1.0 dbl and have had no bite throughs.

Quality and personal attention are always worth the wait in my opinion !!

+1 I second the recommendations for both Stone Mountain and Mount Rogers. I really enjoy them both. If you've never been to Grayson Highlands/Mount Rogers then seeing the wild ponies for the first...

REI has them 20% off thru the end of the month.

I'd also love to go if my schedule permitted it.

"It just shipped!

Your package from HammockGear is on its way. You can track it online using this tracking number ... "

Got my shipping notice from paypal !!!!!

Ordered myself a 3 season...

There is a bird feeder just off camera. The animals have become accustomed to the contraption now and it's really nice laying in the hammock watching the birds and squirrels taking turns at the...

Thanks for the picture and suggestions. I think I'll have to give the switchback a try. Both sides unzipping up and out of the way when needed is a good selling point.

That along with the...

What suggestions do you experienced "hammock collectors" have for a mosquito protected system for someone who tends toward the claustrophobic side of things ?

I currently have a WBBB and love it. ...

I used the stock webbing for a while and it is super easy to use. I eventually switched out to some whoopies just because they are a little lighter but mostly because they are just cool.

... here I come.

I built this stand a few weekends ago out of some old studs. It is one of the folding designs from the forum. Unbolt the feet and it folds up almost flat.

Figured a Tuesday...

REI sells the exped as well.

I used to write software in a bygone age and this was our groups motto.

Great pictures. Cool place to sleep !!!

I saw a few other hammockers up there mixed in with all the tents.

One of the scout troops I chatted with had a scout using a hammock who was working hard on getting the big blue tarp to work...

Did an overnight backpack trip from Massie Gap up to Mount Rogers last Saturday.

Started up about 1:00. Sunny and 70's. Took the AT connector from the Massie Gap overnight lot and then headed...

Blackbird with straps. Super easy set up. You would not be disappointed.

I put a taught line hitch in the end - wrap the bulk around my hand and put the hitch around the loops on my hand and snug it up.

That is one expensive bear piñata !!!

I would be interested in getting several of the patches as well.

That will be about 3 hours from my place. A couple weeks notice in most cases and I can work things in.

Are you talking about April 30 ?

I may be up for some outdoor R&R and may try and pencil that in. I have only day hiked at Mt. Rodgers once but have heard glowing reviews from others.
...

This is about my first hang last summer after receiving the WBBB and telling myself "just going to get one to try them out".

It was a scout trip to Nantahala in NC to go whitewater rafting.

It...

Newish hanger here. My scouts will be amazed that those tiny little things really work :) I would like to get on the list for a couple when they become available.

Marlin spike tree-to-hammock and tautline hitch for the tarp.

New Nalgene bottles are BPA free. They also make a glow-in-the-dark bottle now that would be easy to find or "aim" for in the middle of the night.

MSR groundhog has worked well in the NC ground.

For me ..

As light or lighter than a tent. Drier than a tent. Way way way way more comfortable than a tent.

Even without the first two - the last one is the trump card in my equation.

Great hat. Even better wife ! Happy Birthday.

Thermarest trekker pillowcase (left over from my car campin' ground days).

Beautiful snake. Thanks for the pictures.

I would have loved to joined you. Stone Mountain is a beautiful park. Unfortunately I am a tax accountant and this catches me at an inopportune time. Next time you go hang someplace let me know.
...

I am number 22 for North Carolina to maintain the lead.

I know - snow in NC ! Makes it hard to tease my family back in WI about the great weather in Winston when it does that.

I'm new to this forum and have to say I am moved by the generosity and comraderie of the members. I am hooked !!

A ridgerest and a mountain hard wear switch 20 bag is comfy warm for me down to about 45.

The Z55 is my favorite pack I own. Got it around $100 at an REI outlet sale several years ago.
