Mt Rogers Hang in January

[Hickery]

Complications from being kicked by mule: urge to freeze butt. File that one away.

I'm glad somebody picked up on that. Will be an adventure just getting there !

Cool. Look forward to seeing you guys there, along with all the others that have already expressed an interest.
Dutch is working on a spread sheet.
WV has already paid for the porta-john.
And I have been in communication with Ranger Marcia Holland about the group site as well as asking her to check on a local source that can deliver a load of firewood to the fire pit.

I saw the Spread sheet, looks GREAT! You may note that it has a place for stuff for the raffle. Bringing stuff for the raffle is not mandatory, but nice, as the raffle is how we pay for everything*: The Privy, The campsite, parking & maybe firewood! SO if you have something to bring (Store bought, DIY, Gently used) that would be great. As the raffle tickets are $10.00, do try to bring something(s) worth about that, or more. Winter gear# is ALWAYS appreciated, & often used by the winner on Sat night. But any hanging, hiking or outdoor stuff is good.

For those thinking of bringing firewood from home, PLEASE be sure that you do not live in an area where moving firewood is Quarantined, if you are not sure, assume that you are & don't bring wood to the hang. THANKS!!!


*With the "Extra" being donated to the park as a "Thank you!"
# Insulation is especially popular.

Great spreadsheet! Thanks Dutch!

However, due to my computer being over 14 years old*, I can't put my stuff on it.

SO if someone could stick that on for me: I'm (likely) coming down on the 16th (Yea, I know I got to pay Xtra, may come on 15th.), Leaving Sunday, bringing Scotch eggs for dinner Sat, Aint figured out what to bring for the Raffle,,,, put down "tree huggers", Don't need any gear, I"m going to the Log Cabin for FOOD!

ALSO: If you are new (Heck, even if experienced) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE; Read the first post on this thread AND the "Hypothermia" thread, AND the "keeping warm with a hot water bottle" thread.


*All of my "disposable income" goes towards hiking & hanging stuff, so no new computer.

Come anyway, the misses will totally understand! Besides, babies ALWAYS come on the scheduled date, so you will have plenty of time!!!!




Actually: No she wont & no they don't!!!!
In a few years you will still be welcome!

Negative on a few years. I won't be able to wait that long. Unless there is a baby on the way next year this time, I will be there.

I had asked WV if he would create a nice informational first post with links like I was so impressed with for the Fall MAHHA & he did.
It can be found here....
https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=84528
We will also link to Doctaris fact filled first post found here. He put a lot of thought into it & it's filled with lots of helpful info.

In order to not cause confusion I may ask one of the mods to close this thread so it can't be posted in but we will still have a link to it in the first post of the new thread.
