Wow I need to get out more!
I was only out about 7 or 8 nights in 2012...I plan on much more in 2013 and I shouldn't complain, I was still working on school in 2012 but that's done!

Hmmmm. Hard to say as I hang and sleep in my backyard a LOT. Probably around 50-60 nights out there. And 38 nights camping and hiking in the woods that I can recall. Hope to do more of both this year.
Leave me alone, I'm only talking to my dog today.
I may be outnumbered, but never outmanned.

First hang was in September. 4 hangs/9 nights + 2 nights in backyard = 11 nights. Next year, I'd love to hit 25-30 nights in the woods. :-)

I was hitting about 1 to 2 nights every month, so this year I hit 10 nights. My goal for next year will be to hang more with HF members.....

I live 5 miles from a state park on Lake Erie, so I hiked to the campground about 5 times for an overnight in June, with my WBBB 1.1 DL. Each night was a kinda shakedown. Then I went for 14 days on the Long Trail in Vermont. Meant to take 30 days that trip but had to bail out.
I wanted to lighten up more so I bought a ZPacks Solo Twin and an Exped mat, slept in it one night, that is, tried to sleep one night. Never again. I learned my lesson. I'll hang from now on. I sent the tent and mat back, and now I've ordered a Darien UL.
Looking forward to a month back on the Long Trail this July.

Not trying to brag or nothing but I went out hanging this year atleast thirty weekends And hopefully more next year.I went out so much my wife got mad at me because she had to work every weekend and couldnt go with me. And I mean really mad. Happy new year everybody
I went once a month this year hope to get out about the same this year
I'd love to be able to get out once a month, as it stands I only managed about a dozen nights total this past year, at least more than half of which were in my backyard. Unfortunately street lights and traffic don't make my yard very conducive to a good night's rest.
But I did get 3 good nights in the beautiful Linville Gorge, gonna have to try for a longer trip there this year, if I can get the kitchen pass.
My daughter has a class camping trip scheduled in May that I'm planning to go along on and that will give me 3 nights atleast, plus the hang I'm coordinating gives me 2. So I've got at least 5 nigths planned before summer fully hits. Not a bad start.

Since I started in April... I have hung at least one night a month out in the woods... Sometimes as many as three nights out in the woods... Now that I have a stand it will be easier to hang... But after January, I will take two months off to train for a marathon... And then come April I figure I can start my once a month thing again...

I slept out around 18 nights this year. They were all out in the woods too. I'd gotten my gear dialed in the year before so, I did no over night testing at all in my yard last year. I went to the BWCA twice and did some car camping near there with my wife and kids who are 7, 5 and 2 years old. I had a blast, even though I hardly caught a fish all summer.
