That true. Great sites and Loon lake is the best and clearest place to swim.

The 20/10 rule is a way to manage youth backpackers over a distance so that they don't get exhausted. We hike for 20 minutes, then rest for 10 minutes. During the rest you drop the packs and just...

The Sylvania Wilderness in the fall is a most beautiful place. You just can't beat the old wooded forest and wonderfully clear and cool lakes. When the weather is sunny and 75 and the nights are...

:D I want to thank all those that came out. It was a good time with good people. FatDaddy and I will be planning another one for this fall.

A special thanks to LoneTracker and RBinHood for the...

Good news folks! The creeks are back in working order with the rain and the snow melts from the past two weeks. All looks good for the hang. Your welcome to bring your own water, or filter it from...

I'll take the candle lantern.

If TBKCSM doesn't take the Snowpeak set. I'll take it.

FatDaddy and I discussed this, and this is what we decided: We are lazy! :rolleyes:

Pack your own pack. Bring your own food. And by all means BOYB.

We're bring our own personal food and...

It was a great way to spend the day, just hanging out with some good people. We couldn't have asked for better weather. We have a good spot for next months hang. We might have some water issues,...

For the walk out on Sunday morning, I will have a FRS radio on channel 1 encase anyone has trouble finding us.

I'll do this again on the camp weekend. Just in case.

Ill walk out with you.

Blaze,
Like you, I look up to the DIY guys and gals out there. I'm impressed with the quality of work they are able to produce. However, I am not that skilled, nor did I want to take the time to...

Welcome from central WI. Always room for one more.

I was testing out a new JRB MT3 UQ and encountered the same issue with my WBBB 1.7 dbl. It felt like cold air was being funneled down the center of the hammock from the gathered center foot end...

Come to the hang and I'll make you some grits, with plenty of butter and bacon bits to boot. LOL

Man I totally understand. I have a rack full of sleeping bags of all makes and models. It is a hard thing to go out and buy a TQ with those just sitting there.

Most of my bags are synthetic...

I've been a hanger for about two years now. So I'm some where between a newbie and a veteran when it comes to hanging. Most of my hangs in the winter were with a pad and sleeping bag. Normally my...

Welcome Dux,

If you talk like your write, I would swear you were from the south. I'm a Georgia/Alabama transplant and love hanging out in WI. Moved up here about 4 years ago and do more camping...

I have them and use them often. They keep my larger tarp away from my hammock during windy conditions. They provide extra room inside the tarp. I also have door flaps on my tarp and I use the tie...

As a cold sleeper, here is my answer to your question:

Whether your backpacking or car camping, you run into the same problem in the winter. During the day, no matter how much you try not to,...

Shug, I don't want to put you out, but that would be fantastic. I probably won't sleep in it, but I would sure love to give it a lay down. I just wouldn't feel right sleeping in another man's...

Thanks Shug,
Those videos really help show off the bridge hammock. It does appear to have a bit more complicated suspension system. However it does look very comfortable.

It also appears to...

I currently have a WBBB and am looking at purchasing a second hammock. I see bridge hammocks and think "they could be a flat and comfortable hang". I would like to know more about the pros and cons...

Howdy,
Seeings how you are in FL, a bug net is a must. Check out the Skeeter Beater Pro.. 400lbs cap. Flip it over for no bug net. Interesting design will keep the net off your face.

I'm a...

Welcome. Nice job starting your BYOG hammock. What type of nylon did you use?

That's what friends are for. I had the same results with FatDaddy in WI. One minute a tent camper, then BAM!
Welcome, it really is the most comfortable way to sleep on the trail.

Canteen Boy,
We (FatDaddy and myself) are looking forward to meeting our fellow hangers as well. We will wait until the first part of April to work out any food plans. We will want to have a...

Here's some pics of one that I had built to use at home. I live in a townhouse with no trees in my tiny backyard.

This is a great place to test your gear and enjoy the sounds of the wind through the trees. During the day you can take an easy hike through the trails. We do have black bear in the area, so it...

Welcome from WI. Once you get started, its hard to go back to ground camping.

Check out Shug Emery's videos on you tube. Its what got me hooked.

Shugs not the one that sets these events up. Any of you can. All you have to do is contact his agent. Just go out to seanemery.com and the info is there. It's what I did. I booked it, sold...

I'll take it.

Here you go..

Enjoy.

The show was fantastic. Shug was as informative and entertaining as anyone could have hoped for. After the show I had several people come up to me tell me that they wanted to start going hammock...

Thank you everyone for making me feel welcomed.

CryOTheWild - I'll be busy that night, because it's my show.. LOL :D
Shug is an awesome fellow and I can't wait to see what he has in store for...

HamMike,
Thank you for your offer. I appreciate anything that will inspire a young man to get out and enjoy the outdoors. I will be happy to put it into the give-a-way.

I've sent you a message...

Welcome from Wausau, WI..

I was born and raised a southerner from Alabama, I'm an ex-Air Force guy (10 years) and served during the first Gulf War. I was a Boy Scout, but never made Eagle (dumb me). I lived in four...

Hey fellow hangers,

If you'er interested in getting Shug out to your area, I can tell you how to get'er done. I'm the guy that got this one going. I've always enjoyed Shugs videos and am a fan...
