Maybe Robin won everything and is not telling us.

Congratulations on your purchase, wise choice. I can't wait for a trip into the wilderness pulling a sled with gear in tow.

Just got back from the Winter camp Out shake out at Robin's. I wanted to use the cot so I got this cargo net at home Depot to secure a sleeping bag underneath. I used one down bag from the Canadian Military Sleep System, it held the entire bag in contact with the bottom of the cot with minimal...

I can bring a second tent and have it set up for ya. Eureka Timberline 4 or a cabin tent?

Sounds like you are quite the bushcraft gormet chef. I am not that creative in that dept. A can of beans will suffice for me, ha ha. I just did some shopping, hamburger helper one night, haven't figured out the other. I have some cheese and crackers and summer sausage to share. Let me know if...

Took the night off from work. The plan is to leave the house by noon and take the scenic route over the Bear Mountain to NY 22 to 55 to the Housatonic. Would it be too long a ride on 7 or should I stay on 22 till 44? Anyway GPS is a wonderful thing, most of the time.

Jack you can scroll down in the general paddling discussions section to the "Let's Get Together" . Sometimes it will be one person going someplace seeing if anybody else is up for a trip, sometimes it turns into a group event. If you want to plan something, just post it and see if anybody else...

Hello Jack, Welcome. I am from Bergen county and Greenfrog is in Morris. How are you on Winter camping? Some of us are just getting into hot tenting and are planning an equipment shake out gathering this weekend up at Robins place in western CT. I am sure that if you want to try it out, there...

Make sure you also get the hood which goes with it.

I read this thread on another site and thought I would share, the author is from Wiggys outdoors. It was posted in 2009 so the comments on the pads may not reflect the R values on todays new pads with down insulation. Saw the other thread and thought I'd add some notes. Keep in mind that...

Looks like a nice gathering taking shape here. Who is in? How far are we going into the woods and what mode of transportation will it be, any snow left?

So many boats, so little funds.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So far so good. No Family commitments that weekend. keeping my fingers crossed.

Sorry work work work Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Going to have to pass, I doubt I can make it out of work at 2 and get to site before dark.

I am going to miss the Harriman overnighter so I am try to make this one.

Nice video of real hot tenting Gearfreak. I see where the sleeping bag under a cot would droop more since the cot deflection is less than a hammock. Some fishnet maybe? Anyway looks like foam and Exped pad on top of cot is way to go for now.

Sounds like a plan. Hopefully I can make it, If not, we have all winter to look forward to.

I did, I guess it takes a while. Maybe now the winter weather is upon us they will do some activity on the site. We have a good start so far, hopefully it will keep going. I found a neat place outside Rutland VT on Chittenden Reservoir. Parking area near the dam and when the lake freezes over...

There is an alcohol ban in place at Pachaug State Forest. Please do not bring alcoholic beverages and plan your visit accordingly.:mad:
