Question about the tree huggers. I've got a WBBB XLC with webbing and buckles. Back east, that was all I needed to hang. Will that suffice here, too, or do you guys recommend getting a set of tree...

What if we're coming SPECIFICALLY for the salty language? :cursing:

I was excited for the original date, but the new dates coincided with a business trip back east. Well. looks like the trip is...

Great info, thanks mangus7175! I'll definitely check out Little Jimmy.

Thunder - thanks for all that great info! I don't mind car camping at all, and will check those sites out. I'm still using the webbing that came on the WBBB XLC, but will look into some whoopies for...

Thanks! It looks like the spots further away will probably be better. Looking forward to checking out everything SoCal has to offer.

I'll be moving to the South Bay area in November. Looking for any info on local hanging spots. Can you hang in the Santa Monica Mountains National Rec Area? What about Angeles National Forest? Hoping...

Does anyone have any experience at sites in the Lake George area? I've seen a few threads about hikes, and Shelving Rock is a possibility. But we're also looking at possibly just hitting a "car...

HA! I'm a born and bred NY'er who roots for the Pats and the Sawx. That's what my friends call me!:shades:

My coworker decided she's not coming back till mid December. I'm stuck working this weekend. The project is over this weekend, so I'm hoping to have some freedom after this.

This event occurred before I even knew there was such a thing as hammock camping, and even *I* know his stew is legendary...or should that be infamous? :shades:

Gil - I can't do Friday. I'll be there Saturday into Sunday.

EDIT - may have spoken too soon. :closedeyes: Coworker may not be back when she said, which means I'll have to work next weekend as...

You meet so many great people here, it's hard to remember there are still people out there who really suck. Hope karma bites them in the a$$ soon. (And maybe a Grizzly, too!)

Definitely hoping to...

Stolen?? :scared:

NOT cool!

Cosmic - extra cash is always good. This gear doesn't pay for itself! But I feel your pain, having to work instead of being out and about. Been the story of my life the past 3 months.

Barrettgajr...

CR - I'm putting it in my calendar. Should be able to make it there. I can do Saturday into Sunday if that works for people. No way I can get that Friday off. My coworker is coming back from...

You know it!!

CR, I did get it, and it's sitting there in it's stuff sack, just taunting me as I lay down in bed every night. Grr!! The only consolation is that by the 16/17 I should have my SF....

barrettgajr - GREAT reporting. Thanks for all this work!

CC and CR - looks like I might have to bail this weekend. Work just isn't letting up enough for me take the time off. :-(

My coworker is...

Barrettgajr - thanks for the map! Looks fantastic!

Yeah, they're calling for rain and wind Friday night. Grr. I'll probably get up there early/mid afternoon Friday. I have to leave somewhat early...

Thanks barrettgajr! I was up there for the NEHHA Fall Hang, and loved it! Living in one of the 5 boroughs, I need to drive at least 90 minutes to get to decent hiking and camping anyway. What's...

I ordered it exactly 2 weeks ago this morning. The site said the time should be 3-4 weeks from order to shipping. It was about 11 days. I was VERY happy! Hoping the same holds true for my new SF....

It's killing me!! I've already taken next Friday off to head up to MA to meet up with a couple of forum members I met at the Fall NEHHA. Gonna break it in in style!

I did! I won some camo tree straps, and these cool "Swiss Army Knife"-style utensils.

I play guitar, I'm a tech geek (perhaps just a geek in general), and I was born in 76.

Thanks! It's replacing HH Safari Deluxe.

And yes, nothing like new gear. It'll have that new gear smell...at least till I spray it with permethrin.

My XLC is being delivered today! And I just ordered my camo SF. So very excited! :woot:

I was. I look a lot like the guy in my avatar. ;-) I was usually wearing a green hoodie, and a Red Sox cap.

I'd gladly toss the guy a few bucks for parking, as well as stock up on a few items while I'm there.

I don't mind it not being the deep woods. Just a nice, relaxing night away from the city, hanging with some cool people, that's all I'm looking for.

Is there firewood for sale in the area? Or is...

Got the shipping notice the other day. It should be here tomorrow, or maybe Monday. I'll still be using my HH tarp, but that's fine. Ordering the SF tomorrow. Even with all the OT I've been putting...

What time would you guys be getting there on Friday? Work has been taking up all of my weekends lately, but the 2/3 I have the option of working Fri night or Sat night. If I come up there to camp Sat...

The NEHAA Spring Swing?

IDK if it helps at all, but I was at site 226 last weekend, and made a quick video showing the site. The video starts out aimed towards what I think was site 219. 226 was a nice size that should be...

That's my thinking on it. For the same size as the SF in camo, it's 7oz lighter but more than 3 times the cost. I think if I got the cuben fiber one I'd be paranoid about anything happening to it.

It was nice meeting you as well. I was looking forward to seeing those I'd met, and hanging with some new friends. Hopefully next time!

Wow. I think I need to head up there pronto. Looks like an awesome place to hang. Thanks for sharing!

Due to work, I can't make this hang, but you guys should have a blast. I was just at Stokes this past weekend, in T226.

I think that could be a very interesting subforum!

Do you enjoy being an enabler?? :D

Those are some sweet tarps - but WOW the price.:scared: Are they THAT much lighter than the silnylon tarps? Looks like the Winter Palace matches the dimensions...

Go Sox indeed! And yeah, I'll be grabbing a sweet camo SF, and save the weight.

Awesome. I got the position, but they're going to keep me in NY to see how it goes. Have a feeling I'll be moving to LA in May or June.

I've got my eye on the Superfly in camo. Just ordered the...

Thanks everyone. I just pulled the trigger, and ordered one net only. I really just don't see myself using the cover and enjoying it. I enjoy the open feeling I have in a hammock. Don't want to give...

Just ordered my XLC DL Multicam. Now the wait begins... :mellow:

In the meantime, I can mull over my next decision. Go with the camo Superfly, or eat the weight penalty and get that in multicam as...

Nice! Totally not what I was expecting. Thanks for posting that.

That's the Superfly, right? Is that the camo, or the multicam?

You can see out of it? I was under the impression that it wasn't particularly transparent.

I'm looking at these 2 as well. @Bubba brings up something I'd been wondering. Since I'm looking at the WB XLC, seemed strange they only offer a tarp that's just as long as their hammock. It's why...

@RadicalHope - yeah, it's the "downside" to not ordering something mass produced. lol. They want to make sure the top cover would fit. But I'm the same way - I like the hammock because I don't feel...

That's the other thing - part of the draw for me with the XLC is the visibility.

I emailed Brandon, and I can't order a top cover later. So if I think I'd ever want one, I have to get it now. I'm...

The coldest I've been down to is about 48-50*. I'm hoping to try winter camping in January, but between my 20* tq and uq, and a good tarp with doors, I think that'll be enough.

I'm also possibly...

I'll probably be ordering mine on Friday. Thinking of going with the camo, because, well, it's camo. :-)

But I'm wondering about the over cover. I think I might feel a bit closed in, and really...

That's great to know! I think I'd be fine with my setup in mid 20's. Wearing a good base layer, and maybe throw a pad in between the layers of my hammo...oh, wait, mine is only a single layer. Guess...
