Hello everybody!
I had a computer meltdown when I got home, so these are my first posts with my new rig. I will be brief.
Thanks to all the wonderful people, out in the woods, hanging from...
My son and I will be up Saturday about 2pm
I like Wahtum Lake, it is beautiful! It lets people hike in via HWY 84 or drive in on the back roads. Chinideer Mountain is a great day trip for those who want extra miles. I like it, thumbs...
Pull a seat up to the fire and stay awhile...... Welcome.
I have been to Yosemite a number of times and did 4 nights on the John Muir trail last year. There are a few key points.
First, if you are in the Yosemite Valley, there are lots of restrictions....
OK, if Olzeke is trying to make it, so will I. Working on my schedule for the dates now.....
Fun trip, we had 21 degree reading near the lake on Saturday night. This was my first winter trip, and I liked it a lot. It was great to meet so many fun and positive people.
I want to say a...
Bacon? Well brother, that is all you had to say - I am in.....
Ha! FeedTheWeasel lent me a few quilts, so we will drive up together on Saturday and look forward to seeing everybody.
Great job mom! You will have one happy boy,
I have a few videos up also; they all all concise, informative, and awesome - oh wait, I am referring to Grizz's video.
My videos are kinda random. You can find them under youtube user name...
Great photo, is that photo from Hideaway Lake?
Solid report. I have about 6 nights in my WBBB 1.1 Double and like it a lot. I noticed the "wings" (tied out portion) help keep my UQ in place. But, I also found my UQ sagging a bit. So, I added...
Life intervenes, sad to say I am not going to be able to attend.
- I will be at Timothy Lake on Monday and Tuesday nights and near there on Sunday night, but a conflict came up that I cannot push...
Looking forward to the video. I just subscribed to your youtube channel (under RexMarx003)
I did that and it works great

I like hideaway on the 15th. I do not have a better idea
Is the 14of July at Hideaway a locked down date and place? Is awayone going out on 14th?
- Still trying to make it, but not 100% at this time.
Surprised to hear this, my alc stove "feels" pretty safe. I guess things could get out of hand, best to be super safe in fire season.
Skogkniv, there is a link at the bottom of my youtube video, or you can follow this link:

Nice trip report. You two are trail wizards when it comes to food. I remember looking longingly at your meal at last years Oregon hang while I ate my Mountain House meal from a bag. Forgetting the...
Pull a chair up to the fire.
Can anyone help post the video link?
I wanted to share a 3 night hike I did this past weekend The video is kind of part hike footage, part gear review, and part shout out video with a shout out to our very own Shug at about 1:20 with...
Have fun, I will be doing the Eagle Creek / Ruckle loop. Should be fun, look for a report soon.
Go, Go, Go Water Monkey - if the feet are sore, swing from branches like the monkey you are. Good luck.
Looks like the knives and stuff are part of your fun, so go for it.
I was wondering what the "Green sheet for cover" is and also what type of pack you were using.
Wow, such great information on pad temps. Thanks.
Oh, and kwpapke, great BGT report.
Interesting thread. I have the same hammock and was thinking of using a pad this summer, but I wanted to get a temperature range for the pad. I am planning on using my old Z-Rest pad. Will that...
Yes, I am interested. My days may be more June 14 - 16, but I will be out and about for sure. Looking at 10 mile days if possible. I need to stay relatively close to Portland as I need to be back...
In Oregon, we have some big trees, so I bring 8' straps and 8' whoopies and have used the entire length many times. I use hiking poles to push the straps up high to get the right geometry. But in...
Great to hear of the progress. I loved the journal from last year. Good luck!
Welcome Pounce, I am in a similar situation. I ordered a hammock and a tarp on 4-23 and did not hear back. So, I emailed on 4-27 and got a reply on 4-29 that said they are running about two weeks...
I have walked out to the end of Cape Look out twice and stayed at the Thousand Trails campsite 4 or five times. Here are some thoughts:
- For a day hang or a stealth camp out on Cape Lookout, head...
I started with pads and moved to under quilts. I find them much more comfortable. One point in your top message may not be correct. Double layer hammocks allow a pad to be placed inside. But, the...
Nope - I am out. But, just for this trip. I put in an order for a new WBBB and tarp - I am gearing up for an active summer.
You all have a great trip.
Hmmmm, very interested. I need to check with the girlfriend. What level of mileage are you looking at. I know you and Gary can put the hammer down. I am thinking I am good for about 7 miles a day...
Wow, looks great. Thanks for the post.
Wasn't there are an album named Possum Kingdom? Is this the same place?
I am working my schedule now, but I certainly want to attend!
Pull a seat up to the fire.
Bushcraft won for style, but you slept better - haha.
Thanks Kayt, that is nice to hear and puts a smile on my face!
Jackleberry and Kayt,
Great Photos!
I wish I could have made it, I was packing and ended up with five sleeping bags / quilts and said to myself, "WTF, you need better gear." So, I dropped...
Sorry folks, I had to bail. Started packing gear and realized I was not nearly prepared for the cold or storm. Time to start saving up for the 20 degree underquilt.
I will be coming in Saturday afternoon and will bring a white elephant gift and lots of blankets!
I AM IN!!!!!!!
All caps, because it will be great!
Nice set of photos, like the safety. It looks like a pal on a separate tree would be a good option for set up. You should visit Oregon (just visit, then go) to see big tree's. But, bring the 12'...
I have a ENO DN, and I have found the angle of the whoopies is important for the tension you feel on ridge line. If the suspension is too high, the ridge line will be loose if too low it will be too...
