thanks!!!
I will be heading out on the 22nd to the 27th (added in 2 travel days)
I read about the campers getting wiped out in the flood. That it is why it is so important to be aware of you surroundings...
I am heading up to Arkansas and am going to be completing the Eagle rock loop soon.
I was wondering if anyone had any pointers or things to look out for?
Thanks
Doc
Greylock 3 all the way
I was out on the 4th all over section 1 tons of water
Ordered a tadpole and skins on black friday and they came in on 5th! Excellent condition, superb craftsmanship. I highly recommend this to anyone.
Mary Jane just laughed and laughed, she knew them shoes couldn't take him down a river

Josh and me had a blast! Notice the...
What was that map app you were using?
Did y'all make it to golden corral? We ended up at the one in Huntsville somehow
Had a blast this weekend. Can't wait to do it again!
No worries I have a pad for it. It is for a buddy from school
Roger that 2 on fri and you'll tell me what to do
Tarp for phippsness and a uq if there is one up for grabs.
Whats the word on the shuttle sicho
I now have a plus 1. can he use a UQ? also do you still have the tarp i can bum because my asym sucks
I have a scout if anyone needs it as well
Great! Rain or snow im taking my weekend away from the monsters at home
Rain! Anyone have an extra hex tarp? I have a asym and it's not so good.
Check out the 100 acre wood. It's behind the y off cypresswood and is a good place to day hike. Come out on the 5th with us it's going to be a hoot
I have a greylock 3 uq from jrb but no top quilt. I should read better my bad!
If all three get snagged its cool I have a 30 degree bag I will be using one night. But I have never used a true underquilt so if they are not scooped up I will use one [emoji106]
There is hiking associated with this so maybe ill cache some stuff as well. It the original route still in play?
The price jumped 200 bucks to 350 in a day. If I go I'll be driving. What are the rules for hanging at a rest stop?
I found a flight there yesterday but can't find it again. If so than yes Ocala international airport
Haven't settled the when but the where is the big airport right by the National Forest.
The days would probably be thur or fri morning leave sun evening.
Thinking about coming down. A plane ticket is only 150 bucks round trip. Could anyone pick me up from the airport and take me back?
The tq is rated to 30 uq is 3 season rated to 20. My tarp is the asym and is terrible but thats my next upgrade.

This is what my amsteel looked like after a nights hang. I took the dremal to the sharp sides and I'll see if that...
Agreed that this is in no way a bust on Dutch. I am sure this is a first production run issue and a small one at that!
Doc
Lol from the way you talk about splicing 12 strand it makes me feel like im back on the boat. Thanks for the help "Boats"
Ill keep using them for a bit and take some photos for ya. Amsteel is some tough stuff if it gets bad ill let ya know. The speed hooks themselves work awesome and I am way too happy to be...
Im using speed hooks and after a night in me hammock I noticed when I broke down the hammock that the amsteel was slightly frayed where the round turn was on the speed hooks. Is this normal?
Doc
Are you guys going to do a winter hang up there? If so im down

Im wearing a beanie and a orange cover on my pack
My underquilt will be here tomorrow! Count me as a definite. I have a small car but can help with shuttling
So I agree with the fire. Without campfire snuggles I fear all will be lost!
Maybe Lost Mapels?
Took the Shug in the third's advice and went with the greylock 3 but got it in long as I am a good ol Texas boy and need it a little bigger. Looking forward to hanging in comfort and no more pad and...
I respectfully disagree. I think that this is a fabulous idea. As I live here in TX and my Wife and I are always looking for ways to manage our relationship. Not only would this help with creating...
I just looked at their stuff and they are priced the same as Hammock Gear. When did you put in your order?
Just sent hammockgear an email, if they get me a phoenix b4 the 5th im there
I may go if I get all my collage stuff knocked out and the wife gives me the go ahead
You can go to hobby lobby and grab some orange bandanas for a dollar and hang them off the back of your pack and your all set
Thanks for the tip Mr Dutch! I ordered long loops for my wife's scout and got standard for my explorer. Looking forward to a 21st century suspension system to go with my hammock!
