Swisha Loop 2018

if I do make it.
I either need to always have a tree available to tie to, or someone to lend a second anchor point for my hammock.

 

My rack is available at your service.

 

perfect

 

Apparently the bugs are terrible. Hope your hammock has a net lol.

 

it does haha and integrated rain fly
Trying to convince Skye to get me the insulator and 'snake skin' sleeve things for christmas.

Just turns it from a 3 season to 4 season and the snakeskins stay on the ridge line and just slide down to pack the hammock into. That way even if you drop it while setting up it doesn't get full of mud.

 

Damn. The hammock area has stepped up their game.

 

Hennessy hammock man.
they're good shit.

Going to get a new one for next year though. The new ones you can enter from the bottom and I want a bigger one. The ones they say are good for 6ft are somewhat uncomfortable. Going to get the bigger one. You can get a flat lay with the bigger ones.

 

You should look into the swag tents if you like that stuff. Wouldn’t have to need a tree or a way to prop it up. Karoline would freak since she is claustrophobic. Looked into the swag tents though. Small, compact, warm.

 

the main reason I'm going the route of hammock is I'm tired of needing to pack up muddy gear from being on the ground and in the rain you don't get wet.

Otherwise my 2 person tent is fine for ground. And I only need to use it if skye comes.

 

We will have an ultimate battle between me, you and Peter.

RTT vs Ground Tent vs Hammock
The 1 week of travel will tell us who's got the best choice ( although I kinda know )

 

yours is a ground tent in the bed though lol.
Different idea.

Meh all will have their pros and cons.
I don't feel like spending the money for an RTT though and don't feel like dealing with the mud with a ground tent. hammock is a happy medium

 

and thats if I can even make it lol.

between portugal and cousins wedding in the US. i'll need to see. how finances are

 

I am canceling my date with my possible future wife for an off-road meeting and you can't cancel one of those after spending on a truck over 10K?
Priorities...















































lol
Just joking

 

Haha Portugal shouldn't cause much of an issue but the wedding would.

 

I'm gonna try and make it out for this. Sounds like it'll be a good trip plus its pretty close to home for me.

 

Nah man. lol Just building up the truck to enjoy the trails and not worry too much. Also the fact i need it to get to work too.

 

Same reason I did mine. A lot less worry when your built up.

 

I’m interested in this forsure. Truck should be ready, I know im ready

 

For those that are interested should we be setting a Cappa the amount of people or have a staggered starting date in which people leave. Sometimes with larger groups it can take a very long time to complete trails. Wondering what everyone’s thoughts on this are. Again we have a lot of time to decide. However we can begin separating the route based on how long people want to travel for and how there vehicle is set up.

 

Yes, we need to do this. Otherwise we are loookng at something similar that was happening at Ardberg.

I would say 4 trucks is a good number per group. If there is a big interest we always can split up and pace teams.
