Superior Hiking Trail Hammock Forums Northern Hang #2 Part 1
 |
This here footage is the Northern Hang #2 on the Superior Hiking Trail in Northern Minnesota. Twenty of us hammock hangers who are all members of hammockforums.net …. the treasure trove of hammock info, got together for 3 nights of backpacking in the cold. Most of us had never met yet it is like hiking with old friends …….. fun for me as I usually solo camp. We started in Crosby Manitou State Park as the SHT (Superior Hiking Trail) runs through it and it is a backpack only park. One of my very favorite spots up there. Had temps of 21º the first night, second night about 23º with snow and high winds and about 23º the last night. Fun for all to test their cold weather systems. Thursday several of us got up there early and camped all over ……. Friday we had a big “meet n’ greet” potluck dinner and Saturday walked around 8.30 miles in high winds to camp. Some had really never backpacked and now the hook is set!! Glad for you to be watching our frolic in the piney woods ……… Whoooooo Buddy!
a Jacks r Better 10×12 ….. a right goodie eh?
What’s animal control’s tarp
I have never slept in one ….. but the owners of them talk about the absolute flat lay. They do take a bit of a wider tarp set-up due to the spreader bars. some mention shoulder squeeze …. that is my report.
all secure,

Id like to hear your thoughts (Pros & Cons) on the bridge type hanging system. Would you recommend that style of hammock?
Glad for your interest…..
10-4 on that…..
Way to go! I’ve had the idea of using a hammock instead of a tent for a while… your video shows how a hammock is the way to go! Thanks for posting this.
If you make it to the San Diego area look me up I’ll show you some back country out here.
We roll and roll …. fun, as I had never met most of there folks except on forum posts….

It feels as if we are all kin. Really magic. People are great when a common passionate interest is involved.

Shug Buddy, not one WHOO BUDDY? Not feeling good, soar throat or something? How is your supply of Coffee Crisp’s holding up?.
Great video Shug. It was great seeing everyone again. We are becoming quite the family up there. Even Demitri said he had a great time! I am already looking forward to “The Gorge”
Hennessy Hammocks–If it feels good DO IT!
I didn’t do it, Ggreen. Must be some weirdo lurkin. Apparenlty has no sense of humor–doesn’t connect “hangin” with hammocks and “ey” with “Great White North” lingo–complicated joke–takes TWO neurons to figure out.
