I'm going to be there

I'm bringing 12 burgers for Friday night and Saturday night. Also have two of those little potato company grilled potatoes dishes, one for each night.

Percy Priest lake is at full-pool, and the...

I’ve been hoping for warmer evenings :)
Who all do we have coming for this one?

I've done some horse trading at work and it looks like I'll be able to make it

I will try my best to come, but I'm on-call for work that weekend. I also have a work trip Sunday afternoon. Trying to figure out a way to make it work

Hey dude! I really enjoyed camping with you and neo in the spring, glad you're coming!

was it Hangin with Sasquatch? I have a hard time remembering people hammock forums names vs their real name :P

who brought those potatoes in the aluminum pan we cooked over the fire in the spring? I can get one or two of those if I can find them

I will bring a pound of bacon and a pound of sausage for breakfast. Maybe some eggs if I can fit them in the cooler. for dinner i can bring some brats if that sounds good.

count me in, fortunately I'm not on call that weekend

neo, are you may be counting me 2x. I go by Andrew, and I didn't recognize the name Andriod, and we're facebook friends, so just thought I'd ask lol

Turtle2: If you'll let us know when you...

I'll be there Friday afternoon

getting close, I'm excited! looks like a smaller group though

Count me IN

Work has struck again. I'm on call last two weeks in September and now I have to work the 8th and 9th. I'll try to at least make Saturday

Welcome, I'm also from the Nashville area. The info here is invaluable, I learned about hammock camping from her and I'll never go back to ground! I finally enjoy sleeping in the woods. There's hangs...

If you're intent on using a pad check out the eno hotspot. Basically wings for your sleeping pad for your torso

What's the magic formula for knowing the length and width of the fabric remnants on Dutch's site?

For example: 3 yards, 7.5" I would assume to be 3 yards long and 7.5" wide correct?

Depends on the make of the tarp. Personally I run my CRL above my tarp so the tarp doesn't rub on the line and damage the seam sealing, but I may be paranoid about that and not a legitimate concern.

I plan on being there Friday morning between 10-11, but depending on if it rains that day I may adjust the time accordingly

This looks like I'll be able to make it, hopefully the weather will be nice!

If you can, Go to a hang in your area and lay in a few different hammocks before you invest in one yourself.

Got this on my work calendar, I'm planning on attending. I'm shooting for getting there on Friday mid-day/early afternoon

I found on YouTube where Dave Canterbury has discovered Dream Hammock and has posted a video about it...Glad I have my Thunderbird already because I bet business is about to go through the roof!...

I too was hoping for a holiday sale. I was hoping for a jarbridge deal this year. I don't have the disposable come to buy a mystery box, all my purchases are planned and specifc. got to know what my...

I'll test and sign a waiver, non-disclosure, etc.....please can I be a tester lol

Superfly is a great tarp, but do seam seal the pullouts. Have never had a leak from the ridgeline as it comes with Brandon's super special sewing

I have a dream hammock thunderbird and a new river. I use the pack hooks at the ends of the hammock, which works great. I ran some thin shock cord through the loops on the new river sides so I can...

I have one of those throws, its stock right now, but my plan is a summer top quilt. I'm a little dismayed you say you got to 48 degrees with the TQ plus long johns, a hoodie, and you had to add a 2nd...

Yes. Have them, and use them on both my tarps, but only if its windy

He was testing the speed hooks 2.0 rev 10 but instead of wearing the Amstel, it brought down the tree. Oh well...I guess it'll be 2 more weeks. Lol

Glad you're safe Dutch! Glad no one was hurt

I was trying to get some of my friends involved who don't have kayaks, but they just didn't buy my line of "just put your stuff on a pool float and swim across, it's only 1,500'" they didn't see my...

I have a superfly and Brandon put out a video recommending separate lines. He has grosgrain along the seam for added strength, so I've never thought twice about the tension on it. I bought a tadpole...

Those temps are his secret for staying young looking

I have a thunderbird. I like the over cover and net are removable. I take the net in warmer temps, both if it's questionable and only the over cover if it's cold. I love my thunderbird, very comfy! I...

Seeing stuff like this really burns me up. Some people just like conversation and don't want to sit and endlessly search the internet. If you don't want to contribute because you've seen it before,...

I've wondered if the PU coating on the footprints is high quality and won't come off, or if it's lesser quality since the main point is puncture resistance on the ground

I too am using a cheap...

I was going to say the size probably wouldn't be adequate, but if you're happy that's all that matters! I'd actually like you to test this and report back...I'm always looking to know alternate uses...

If you are able to do the work for a diy underquilt, climashield apex or primaloft would be better than the batting you get at Walmart. I'm not even sure it'd retain enough loft to be worth the time

yes and no. The way the parking areas are fanned out, it's really no further to put in outside the roped off swimming area shown in this image, which may actually be what you're talking about....

for me the choice was easy. I have a bomb-proof 80 lb kayak and I carry a lot of gear, so being able to unload the kayak and all my gear right at a mooring and not have to carry anything more than a...

Anderson recreation area. Costs $5 or so to leave your vehicle, but it's gated at night so it's safer than parking at a boat put in. I had the same concern when I first went to bear island. You can...

What's the logic for 2" straps on a tarp?

I work in IT so my schedule is hectic and unpredictable sometimes. Hopefully, if it's a quite Friday I'll be able to cut out and make it early Friday evening. Last few times I've been camping fire...

Should make this one

I went double layer for durability. I never use a pad. I found a lot of posts where single layer got stretch marks and runs and was afraid a single layer 1.1, which the fabric I wanted at the time...

Something with a spectra or dyneema core. Lash-it, zing-it, z-line, etc are popular. I like z-line because it's not reflective, but highly visible if you come up on it at night. Also takes knots...

I second permatex flow able silicone. Find it at an auto parts store. I took some cheap flux brushes from a hardware store, cut the bristles a bit shorter. I runs small bead along the seam, then use...

There's some of us that hang on J Percy Priest Lake on one of the islands. Neo organizes the BEST hangs around the nashville area. This time of year being so hot and humid, I don't see many people...

Mama, some advice if you don't mind: If they say stay off it, stay off it. Also your cam boot, like mine will probably manage your weight through your heel. After a while that's going to get (very)...
