1st Annual Oregon Hang: Planning

[bigfoot2]

I found this video on youtube which depicts the meadow area by the creek, very near the campsite.

That reminds me...any good videographers out there that could make some videos of our hang/hike?

Yeah, really! I thought there would be a lot more people checking in.

Note: bgraybackpacker is now bringing just one, it's marked correctly on my spreadsheet but I copied/pasted an old post to make the post quoted above.

[Mindwalk]

I might be bringing one, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. I'll let you know when we know for sure.

[ChrisH]

Sounds good, thanks.

I am bringing 2.

DIY Speer type Hammock
DIY Hennessey Hammock with some personalized additions like insulated water/beer holder.

[ChrisH]

I just have a HH Deep Jungle XL right now, sold my WBB 1.1DBL a while back. Will have a brand new 3S Burrow and Incubator as well as a surprise Hammock Gear prototype. Don't ask because I'm not tellin what it is, you're gonna have to wait till the hang!

[olzeke]

I will be bringing a WBBB dbl 1.7

[jackleberry]

I'll just have my DIY 12' 1.9oz/yd single layer hammock with my DIY UQ and converted sleeping bag topquilt (or maybe just a blanket, depending on how cold it's supposed to be). I'll probably bring an army surplus mosquito net as well since I imagine the little buggers will be out by then.
