I'd be up for that. I'm not too far away. Been thinking about coming that way for archery as a way to pre-scout for the rifle hunt. This gives me another reason to go see some country and meet some good people.
I've had a bunch of them, several that I like. It's been a bit of a rabbit hole for me.
I've had my best comfort with hammocks between 10 and 11 ft in length, gathered end, and a moderately stout material, like a Hexon 1.6 or a 70d nylon. Always have a fixed ridgeline at about 80% of the overall...
Glad things worked out well in the end, and congrats on some beautiful animals and memories. I spent about a week in South Africa in early 2020 doing some qualitative research for a humanitarian organization. That meant I spent time doing in-depth interviews with people in their homes in Jo-burg...
I trust Utah to "manage" their lands about as much as I trust my dog not to eat the pizza off my counter when I leave the room. I mean, what's not to trust about a guy like Reyes?
More lovely reading...
That pic of the heavy whitetail from @antlerradar reminded me of this buck I was lucky enough to take several years ago. And what do you know? I have a tailgate pic of it. Not quite as big as the one in his pic, but still one of my best bucks, and he looks good on my wall.
I've owned a bunch of quilts messing with hammocks and ultralight backpacking. Enlightened Equipment is good. Hammock Gear econ line have been very good for me too.
I hadn't seen this new drive. Yes, this might address some of my concerns about needing to make some quick and tight adjustments where a paddle works well. Probably wouldn't know until you try one out. To be fair, I never tried a Hobie drive, just the Pelican version, and you do hear that those...
So I went down the pedal-drive kayak rabbit hole last year, convinced I would like some version of a pedal drive. Over the course of that year I owned and sold an Old Town Big Water 132 pdl, a Pelican 110 fin drive, and a Brooklyn Kayak prop drive. I used them and fished from them in high...
Congratulations! Glad mom and baby are well. Sorry I can't say the same for your living room carpet.
Babies, birth, and the women who make it happen are miracles. Soak it in.
