    I will be leaving in the morning, but should be back in the afternoon depending on how long Advancement day for the cubscouts takes. That's why I have not offered to help cook. I may not be back until 4ish. I will bring cooking stuff and food and may be able to help when I get back. I will probably hike on sunday.

    if the whoopie is on the knot( see shugs video) it doesn't matter what you use. I tried it with a stick last time and it held. I still use toggles because they weigh next to nothing and look cool. The toggle just holds the knot in place not the weight of the hang. Reeeeemmmmeeeeeemmmmberrrr the kkkknnnnnoottt. As shug would say.

    some use climbing carabiners like the Nano 23 (23g) to tie their marlin spike - instead of a toggle; and that means you can hook whoopies directly to the biner and not worry about "not the knot". Either way works - hang your own hang!
