    NC > 2nd Annual Frosty Butt Hang at Merchants Mill Pond State Park 18 - 21 Feb 2016

    2016 Frosty Butt Hang at Merchants Mill Pond State Park


    I am late getting this posted as I have been on the road for the last two weeks.


    Sign Up Sheet Link Here


    What...The 2nd Annual 2016 Frosty Butt Hang at Merchants Mill Pond State Park North Carolina


    Where..Group Site # 1 at Merchants Mill Pond State Park North Carolina


    When.... 18 Feb ( Thursday noon ) thru 21 Feb ( Sunday noon ) 2016


    Goal...to hang in some cold weather and test our hammock gear.


    Meals...Meals will be individual and or a group effort as Hotlips and Kingsford to not play in the cold.


    I can bring a gas and propane coleman 2 burner stove to share.


    As we hope it gets cold, be sure to bring hammock gear and clothing for the cold ( and maybe snow ? )


    If you need to borrow some gear, let us know as many us have extra gear we can share.


    If you want you can bring a tent instead of a hammock.


    If this is your first cold weather hang, please let us know so a more experienced hanger can check your set up. We want you to be comfortable and have a good time and not freeze to death.

    we will need firewood so anyone with source of wood, please bring some. Efforts to purchase fire wood locally have not been successful.

    Same weekend as The Gorge hang. Unfortunate but, as said before, there are just so many weekends!

    I'm on the SS Gunner - we did 21 deg last year, let's see what we get this time.

    I see the Terminator will be sitting this one out - betcha Starfish Comet won't come play in the cold either..

    Looking forward to it.

    I would like to go camp in the Gorge also but its a long all day drive from here. The Terminator, Hotlips and Kingsford do not like cold hangs so they are sitting this one out. Just means there will more trees for the rest of us. Hope the Killer Monkey Owls are there to entertain us again.

    I will just have to make a decision at the last minuet. I hope my wife will be ok to be home alone for a little while. Sure do want to do this. I need some outside time.

    Chigger....hope you can make it but I understand you have to take care of wife first.

    OBX...don't think you will have to worry about wrestling gators in February.

    Sounds great (same weekend as the Daytona 500) I am hoping to join you all on Saturday and return on Sunday. Have not been to a hang in awhile.

    Most physical hike: Grandfather Mountain, NC. Aug 13.

    I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.

    Hey I am mostly in the Hostess and Frozen Pizza section now which is at -10. A lot better than the Ice cream side at -20 which I still have to watch.
