BUMMER.... Hope you heal up soon and don't forget there will be plenty of help at the hang. I'd be more than happy to help set you up if you decide to head that way as I' sure many other would too.... Hoping for a speedy recoveryI was really,really looking forward to this hang, really! Could not wait to get out this year...(would be my first time this year) but, I think I have to bug out of it now. I got into a car accident last week and I have lost the use of my left hand until mid-October. (6 weeks in a cast) Sucks.
I can't do anything with my left hand, which I broke in 6 places so, hurt my neck, back, and my knees... I don't see myself tying up my hammock and all my other stuff with just my right hand (sucks) totally! Luckily I get to take my time typing with my right hand. But I'll tell a Good night sleep outdoors would do me greatly! but my cast does not even fit my Down jackets that I bought for this trip.. Just ridiculous....I've been watching this hang for a while, It's our Michigan Spot!
After I get my cast off I have to go through therapy to re-gain use of my left hand... totally stupid.
But.... I am very lucky! My car saved my life! (5 star in all Cat's) Peace to you all and Drive careful. Wish I could figure out away to be there!

Man Sean, that sucks. Glad your generally ok. Where did this happen?
If you do decide to head up, I can help set you up or a crap load of other people would too. Just give us a heads up and we'll watch out for ya.

Sean, who will color coordinate my outfits?
Get well. And I can put up your rig, if you still wanna make the hang.

Plenty of stores nearby for those needing any last minute supplies.
Missy will have more than enough food...
Depending where in SE Mi. your at I would even venture to offer a ride for an injured hanger. (just don't make me go into detroit.)
Im totally willing to help do anything needed to help the injured so you can make it!
Also I am hoping some one will have a WBBB XLC, really been wanting to check one out.....
The wife and I will be attending! Super excited! We will camp Friday night and hang all day Saturday. Looking forward to meeting everybody and seeing some cool hammock setups!

I just recently joined HF, and just noticed this thread. Would there be room for another tent for Saturday evening/night/Sunday day? Someone linked the forums on a DIY Kayak forum, and got curious. I have since made a bed sheet hammock and stayed in it overnight (indoors, mosquitos have been vicious this year and without a bug net...). Loved it despite its limitations (to short and 0 stretch I believe), and have been thinking of doing a couple DIY WBBB for the wife and I. It would help looking at one in person and placing all the parts.
My kayak build log and launch from the forum that introduced me to HF if your interested. Obviously I am not afraid of a little DIY and a little sewing for some fun outdoor gear!
