    More room in the hammock for myself!
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.

    Hiking, etc. at the Hang

    If anyone is interested in some hiking, I will head out to Sugarloaf and Old Sugarloaf peaks on Saturday. This is a 10 mile round trip hike if you do both peaks.

    Also, I would love for guys to show off some of their favorite camping gear, DIY gear, cooking equipment, etc. I'll bring some DIY stuff, including my Grizz bridge and some updates to my bamboo hiking poles.

    I will do a lightweight dry baking demo using tea candles for anyone who is interested.

    I went up and took a look at the site on Friday because I had a couple of hours to kill in Lake Elsinore.

    The mild winter has the bugs out a bit early but it wasn't intolerable by any stretch. Just bring your Deet and permethrim.

    Also, if you are debating between short and long straps (this used to say "Tree Huggers"), bring the long ones. I have a feeling we'll be sharing some trees.

    I'm coming up Friday, hopefully during the day and leaving Saturday (possibly in the AM but hopefully in the afternoon). Looking forward to seeing everybody.

    Question about the tree huggers. I've got a WBBB XLC with webbing and buckles. Back east, that was all I needed to hang. Will that suffice here, too, or do you guys recommend getting a set of tree huggers as well?

    I always thought that webbing and buckles constitute a tree-hugger assembly in the same way that straps would.

    Anybody have any thoughts on this?

    Maybe I should have just said "Be prepared for trees being spread out"

    Correct if the webbing is protecting the tree

    Anybody have any thoughts on this? Take this lightly

    Be prepared for a slight distance between trees.


    Tree huggers are used to protect the trees from narrower rope cutting into the bark. Cinch buckles using a strap, atlas straps, tree hugger/ whoopie slings the list goes on.
    If I remember last year there was plenty of distance I know we had the Yarrow site. Since you walked the area my question is trees right size did you notice the back tree line where folks can walk further back if needed. If I remember the middle was more open. Anyway a couple weeks left then all will find a cozy hang.
    This is how I see the campground any different from your trip?
