NC>Falls Lake>May 2-4, 2014 - 2nd Annual Smoked Butt Hang

[Tacoma96]

Would it be out of the question just to come for a few hours?

As if I couldn't try to cram one more thing into that weekend. My son has a school, snow make-up day that Saturday morning. We then have to beat feet to Wake Forest for a Cub Scout function until 4-5ish and Sunday we have my nephew's first communion. Sometime that weekend I plan on squeezing in some sleep and maybe a meal.

I'd like to try and come out for a bit on Saturday afternoon/evening, if nothing else, to meet some of you folks and to see some different rigs. My son and I are still relatively wet behind the ears to hanging and have yet to meet other hangers out in the real world. We have learned what little we know from this site, Shug videos, Derek Hansen's book and trial and error. It would be nice to see some different rigs and set-ups for comparison.

Yes def. show up. I will be going though Knightdale to go to the hang.

Is there a limit to folks going? Looks like there will be a good size group. I am not sure if I will make it but I would like to. Any one going paddling? Thinking I might drag the canoe along aswell.

You should be fine. This site can hold a good amount of hangers. I am not aware of any planned paddling events. But I am sure others will be willing to paddle.

I've been meaning to try out hammock camping for a while, and just had a chance on a 4 day trip last week. I currently have a Trek Light hammock, which I like, although I've been having issues with leg hyperextension. I would really like to move up to a nicer hammock (built-in bug net, double-layer for inserting insulation, etc.), and am considering the WBBB, the WBRR, and the Dangerbird. I can't camp out the whole weekend because I have a commitment on Saturday, but could I stop by and see people's hammocks? I'd love to see how you experienced folks are hanging yours, and maybe a kind soul will let me try theirs out. I've heard especially with the bridge hammocks that you should really try one in person to see whether they work for you. I live in Raleigh, so I'm right in the neighborhood and it would be easy for me to pop over.

We love to show off our gear and let people try it out! Please come join us for whatever amount of time you can.

Hello folks,

After having such a great time at my first group hang (Merchants Mill Pond) I would hate to miss another opportunity to meet some fellow hangers... so close to home. It looks like you have a good crowd signed up so far. I'd love to throw my name on the sheet as well if you folks aren't all booked up yet. I'm also open to any suggestions for items that may still be needed.

It would be great to see you again CAS52. Bring what you can. I have never been to a hang where there was not enough to eat.

For the last six weeks, I have been working as much as the government will allow. I need this. I enjoy making my StubbyQ, breakfast fatties, and smoked chili. I enjoy camping, and new friends.......and some one mentioned mountain bikes. I'm in, however, this being my first hang........Where do I take my moneys, and what is the pet situation? Or have I missed all that in earlier posts?

[Junebugdawn]

Catavarie is hosting and Chigger secured the reservation for the site, so see them about any moneys. Pets are welcome. Max had a great time last year.

Cool, TY.......
