Form those campers up in a circle dig some fox holes and get on top the hill next time .

It's usually a pretty laid back group hang, no schedule of events or anything, some guys hike back to the parking lot on Saturday and take gear back to their cars that they thought they needed but don't or to restock refreshments, or there is plenty of trail in the area to do a day hike, or just hang around the Valley and enjoy doing nothing but laying around in the hammock, and there is usually plenty DIY talk if your into that as well, usually N abundance of knowledge in many different areas.

It will be very good to see you, Scott.

Wow! This should be a good time, can't wait to meet everybody. I had the pleasure of meeting Mule last weekend and got some expert help with my under quilt. Thanks again Mule for getting me set up right! I've been watching videos of past hangs and can't wait to get out there! If everybody shows up, it will be like a city in the woods...

I don't remember if I posted this before, but it is last year's Halloween hang, held at a different location from, but a short hike from this year's hang.

Great video Bonsaihiker! I am a big fan of your work! I've seen a couple of your videos now and can't wait to get out there and experience it for myself. I look forward to meeting you and the others in October.

True, there are always those best of people that pitch in gathering firewood, new or not. That won't be a problem. What I like about large hang gatherings is that the fire becomes the meeting place, I can still picture Trail Medic and Acer and a dozen others who stayed close to the fire ring, me too. It's impossible to get around and visit with everyone as much as I'd like to, but the fire brings us together and even if you don't find yourself participating in every conversation, you can be a part of it by listening. I wish there was time for everyone to spend all the time they wanted with all those there but it's not possible. So I found myself getting to know others without even being directly involved in all the conversations. Then when just a few of us get to go on other trips we do feel we know each other already. Pretty cool if you think about it.
