Calendar is open so far. Hoping to make it this year. Looking forward to it.

Grrrr. So disappointed. Was really looking forward to this but the stupid Garth Brooks concert is that Saturday night at the Stadium in Buffalo. I work at the stadium so i'll be stuck there. ...

Welcome, from another Buffalo hanger.

Chiming in from Buffalo. I do most of my backpacking/.hanging along the Finger lake Trail, usually down in Allegheny area which would probably be a couple hour drive for you. A little closer,...

Welcome to the forums from just north of you in Buffalo. Another group hang that's even closer to you is Mid-HHA. They usually have a summer and winter group hang. Summer hang has been at Minister...

Hey, was just wondering if the winter hang at ANF is going to happen this Feb? Haven't seen anything on the forum about it.

WooHoo!! Looking forward to it. Hoping its not the weekend of 7/25, my son's Eagle Court of Honor. But if it is oh well, there is always February.

Hey PA and WNY folks. Is there any talk on having a summer hang at Minister Creek this summer? I keep checking the Outings threads hoping I see a post.

Another great video Shug. Keep them coming. Always enjoy watching another Shug video. Seems retirement is agreeing with you.

Dana,
We were planning on trying to set up a spring or summer hang and fall winter hang, but with everything going on, we haven't planned anything yet. The Black Friday hang we did last fall was...

I installed a set of these in my daughters room about 2 years ago. She sleeps in a hammock full time. No complaints with these. There is no noise when you get into the hammock and they seem to be...

Another great video Shug. I've been using the hangtime hook for a few years. Still have the first version that was made on the 3D printer. Love laying back before going to sleep and watching a...

Pretty sure I've camped there before with Boy Scouts years ago.

Grrr:mad: Just went to put the hang on my calendar and saw my son's high school graduation party is that weekend so now I'm out. Dam kids. Oh well, looks like I'll have to wait till next winter....

Can't wait. looking forward to another hang

Yes it is on Spotify.

I'm using a Chameleon and have a Asym bugnet and a Sym winter topcover. I don't really notice a difference in the lay of the hammock with either one. I flip back and forth between left side and...

Yup. Working now from the original post.

Thanks for the video. It was a fun time. Looking forward to July.




I got the same thing, but clicked on Brett's YouTube page in his signature. Works fine there when you are watching...

Welcome to the forums from Tonawanda

Another fun hang. Great to see everyone again. Already looking forward to the next one.

Well surprisingly nothing has come up. Should be out there around 5ish tonight. Looking forward to it.

Well I’m definitely in, so far. Just still debating Friday or Sat morning. If I can make up some hours at work during the week planning on Friday evening. Two quick questions. How far from the...

To answer a couple of your questions:
For my pack, I do the same in the winter as I do in the summer. I just lay a piece of tyvek on the ground under my hammock and lay my pack there. Before I...

I bought one of the two packs of the Costco quilt and made a TQ and UQ. Sewed channels around the perimeter of one of them, pulled the stitching to make baffles, and use that set up for my three...

Well my daughter had a cheer competition in Pittsburgh last weekend, Indy this weekend and Buffalo next weekend. First weekend she doesn't have one? First weekend in Feb so looks like I'm in for the...

The world just lost its breath there for a moment. Even if it was a joke

Actually, when Jonathan and I were down at Trail Days a few years ago for the podcast, there were quite a few thru hikers that we interviewed, that the first night that they ever slept outdoors was...

It was a fun time for our first group hang (there was more than 2 of us so I guess we can consider it a group hang). Weather turned out great, fire was great and I was pleasantly surprised at the...

I second Minister Creek. Great spot there and plenty of places to hang. Hiking wise in ANF I've only done around Tracy Ridge. Easy hikes and you can change up the loops to make them longer or...

Going to try and make this one. Of course it will depend on driving conditions. Yes I live in Buffalo and drive a car that sucks in the snow.

Diz,
To be honest, I haven't done any hiking in the Minister Creek area. Only car camped at the Minister Creek campsite right on PA-666. Only hiking I did in ANF was the Tracy Ridge trails...

I've hung at Minister Creek in Allegheny three or four times. Real nice place. Plenty of parking. North side of road is paid sites, but that isn't a problem for you since there aren't any good...

Well to be honest I think I enjoyed it as much as I did going to HangCon. The smaller group hangs have something the big hangs don't.

We are slowly walking backwards towards the door now. Slowly bringing Chris and Todd in, but looking to 50 being the final one with us. It was just a nice round number. Wasn't any specific...

If this is something you plan on continuing, I would make a list of everything that you bring, then at the end of the trip, review the list and ditch anything you didn't use. Of course still packing...

I went to Gander Mnt and got some carbon arrow shaft cut offs. They were just throwing them out so they were free for me. Cut them about 3-4 inches, drilled a hole in them and tied a loop with...

I don't know about that. I'm sort of enjoying myself with the audit from the Dept of Labor that I'm going through right now from an employee that's been claiming unemployment while working all...

I thought what happens at the hang stays at the hang. Glad I didn't do anything too embarrassing. There is always next time.

Had a great weekend at the hang. Made some new friends and nice being able to put faces to names from the board. My only disappointment was that I wasn't able to get there till Saturday. Would...

Well as of now it looks like I'm in, but can't make it till Sat morning. At least I get to hang out Sat and Sat night. Something is better than nothing.

Welcome to the forums from Buffalo.

Welcome from down the 90 in Buffalo

Hey Coldfeet, welcome to the forums from Buffalo via Smithtown

Going to try again on this one sound's like fun. Hopefully that family thing doesn't get in the way like it did on the winter hang. Although that is my birthday weekend, it would be a good excuse...

Another local here in Tonawanda. We should definitely try and get something together for a local hang. Seems there are a bunch of us here in the WNY area.

Thanks for the heads up. I just looked on youtube and if you do a quick search and type in "Shug Nube" the first post is the impostor post. I know Jonathan has been crazy busy and it must have...
