[oregonmikes]

I hate it when I forget something important. Sometimes it does make the trip more memorable.

[medicjimr]

@oregonmikes Well fortunately I didn't forget It fell of the bed at camp and didn't know it lol

[usframe]

Great look at the camp and the set up. Any options for being able to sit around the fire as a group? BTW, Jared has been gathering mats to build a hammock. Says your vids have been helpful. lol, I am still in the undecided category on trying a hammock, but it sure looks better than wishing for a hoist in the am!.

[medicjimr]

@usframe Well it is nice to swing your legs up and out in the am . and I definitely sleep more if I remember to not drink to much before bed lol we had 3 nice down trees for sitting , I know my back was acting up if I sat too long. Plus people had camp chairs and stools for added comfort.

[joetylerdale]

Always a learning experience watching your videos, Thank You!

[medicjimr]

@joetylerdale Thank you I am always learning as well.

[saradreaming]

[Woodenarrows]

“Camera was found at camp” you are starting to get my problem Jim…. memory lapses :-))

[medicjimr]

@Woodenarrows It fell off my bed so can use that excuse to my advantage lol

[RallohE]

Looks like a fun time even with the slop! Hope you found your camera safe and sound back home!

The whole lost hiker being delivered by a priest is just hilarious in the concept!

Thanks for sharing!

[medicjimr]

@RallohE Ya we cracked up he was pretty cool to dressed in his camo gear and went an toured our camp and ate some venison jerky with us , definitely was the first for me lol

[steintanz]

Thanks for taking us along, Tim

[medicjimr]

@steintanz Not bad had a nice fire and warm gear everyone was champs.

[beast12101]

looks like a great time

[medicjimr]

@beast12101 Thanks My friend stayed warm and was a blast

[SnowLobo95]

Warm weather is nice sometimes. However it can make a mess in the snow lol. It looks like a fun group and a great time.

[medicjimr]

@SnowLobo95 Was great fun can't wait to do it again. Now spring can come lol

[wawhiker]

Excellent site selection - great trees to hang from! It looked cold!!! Good to see everyone made the right gear choices. Enjoyed watching Hammock Forum members doing it PA style! Thanks for sharing! (Jim - where did your video camera end up)?

[medicjimr]

@wawhiker Ya we took advatage of the hemlocks to help block the wind some, made a big difference had sustained winds 25 mph and gusts 60 mph . Camera was found at camp : )

[gcstorm1]

glad to see your group hang was a success...great turnout. hope you found your camera!

[medicjimr]

@gcstorm1 Camera found Great hang for sure with great people too . looking forward to more

[Ggreenvideos]

Excellent buddyO ! Looked like fun hangin' with the peeps :o) Too bad the snow was turnin' to mush :o( You made good use of the whisperlite eh :o) Hope you found your camera my friend :o)

[medicjimr]

@Ggreenvideos Thanks Rich whisperlite did good , wind made it suck down fuel took about 10 oz white gas to melt 2 ltrs water and I didn't boil it. Camera was found glad Doc had 3 I have 2 now did a trade for one I used for this video. Now a back up and something daughter can use

[Ggreenvideos]

@medicjimr Glad you found it my friend :o) That must have been scary ! 10oz. you say? My SMX II took around 3 oz. to melt enough snow for 2 cups and bring it to a boil...hehe! So 2 liters would have most likely required more alcohol than the white gas you used. So 10 oz. for 2 liters probably wasn't too bad buddyO ;o) The only real good cold weather stove I have is the Reactor But it's too much stove for snow melting. I guess it's time for a white gas stove myself. ;o)

[medicjimr]

@Ggreenvideos I am new to the white gas and snow melting thing so now I know what to expect.

[Ggreenvideos]

@medicjimr Me too buddyO

[huguenot67]

Extra stars for the Apocalypse Now scene near the end.;-) Hope you found your camera.

[medicjimr]

@huguenot67 Thanks camera was found at camp base of my bed how it ended up there who knows, 

[Cr0cket20]

Very interesting hammock setups. Sucks when the snow gets mushy and wet like that.

[medicjimr]

@Cr0cket20 I will have a bigger ground cloth I can stake out next time . Plus when snow is not melting not so sloppy . Thanks for watching my friend .
