Cooks 2000 4x4 build with some BS

I love me a stream to sleep by, there's nothing better. Sorry to clog your thread with hammock propaganda.

 

Wow! Do you have the extended Atlas straps?

 

Yessir!!

 

I need to get me some of them! Or I can just use ratchet straps as extensions...

 

I love them man! Ratchet straps work just the same!

 

The Atlas straps are so nice to have. All the loops are so easy

 

Nah theres a BS tag up there

I need to get atlas straps then I can use my bed rack and awning for my hammock. May go buy some for this weekend

 

they are worth the investment for sure, those little loops make it so simple. i ran my hammock off my roof rack once, and it kind of scared me, so i gotta come up with something else. maybe off the d ring on the rear bumper..

 

I ordered them earlier today, should be here Thursday sometime. Yeah I'm gonna loop them around my bed rack and then to a tree. Just need a bug net next because I'll use my awning for a rain fly. Hope to actually go out this weekend

 

psssh... you guys wanna talk hammocks..

introducing.. the Redneck TrailHammock...


(1) Tarp
(2) rocks
(2) shackles
(2) tow straps

worked great! still have it all balled up in the bed for next time we are out. super ghetto... super awesome.

 

Better picture..



Held two people easily. And was warm since its solid vs mesh/netting

 

haha holy shit! That's awesome, if my hammock wasn't so cheap I might have tried that idea

 

DUDE ive never thought of using the awning as a rain fly! thats ingenious.

 

haha how much weight are tarps rated for, i would think one good shot with an elbow and you might end up a little closer to nature then intended..

 

As long as yours will be long enough, I've got that huge 6ft one so it'll work out hopefully. I did a "dry" run with it but needed better straps for it to work better

 

I'll end up buying a hammock. We were out and all of us were talking about hammocks "wish we had one" "next time" so I said F it.. and just made one real quick. was the best thing of the entire trip. lol everyone loved it.

that... im not sure of. lol it was one of our concerns... but it wasnt even fraying or anything.

Couple members testing. Lol

 

If it'll work who cares!

 

I had a feeling about those two

 

yep! Redneck engineering at its finest. lol

I was surprised Chris just climbed up in there. lol

 

Went out this past weekend to just get out before school ramps up with @bryanbyers28 A while back we did a trip to Flatlands creek with some guys but 17 Jeeps were in the way so we just turned around, but after 5 months of wanting to hit it I finally did. Except we got lost because I picked the wrong entrance of the trail and it was a PITA to find it, but we did just started from the rear this time.

On to the pics that I snagged (more than usual)


Trying to figure out which way to go at a fork (picked the correct one)


About halfway through the trail (after I almost rolled it ) we stopped for lunch.



And then at the end (beginning) of the trail. Definitely an awesome trail with a little bit of everything. Will be going back to it for sure.

Then we headed to Trey to camp for the night


This was the first time Bryan could use his air compressor so he aired down for shits and gigs


About half-way up we stopped for some pics in the "water fall"



Once we got to our campsite we set up fairly early so we could start cooking and drinking



Before we even got to Trey the weather was at a 0% chance of rain that night. Uh yeah they were wrong, we got caught in the middle of a thunderstorm, but all good because I had my awning setup and it did wonders. I tried to get pics of the lightening but it wasn't cooperating with me.


The morning after



Waiting on Bryan to air up so we could head to Bell Mountain!





They had since paved Bell which sucked because it used to be the "hardest" trail in Ga and now a damn Lexus car was up there right after us. It sucks because now it's going to be extremely busy but hopefully we can camp there still.




But there is still one spot you can still "wheel" on


Baby stuff


Good thing I'm getting new rear shocks soon because I have no droop with these


And one more!

All in all good short trip, can't wait to get out more with the weather slowly cooling down. I'll have some new shocks next week but won't install them till next next Friday. Bryan also got tons of GoPro/Drone footage so once he gets that up and running I'll post it up as well.
