Deam Bushwack or Knobstone Hike

“I told them that as we were fly down the road sideways the only thought in my mind was, "Huh, I'm going to die. I always thought it'd be Crash that did it.".”

“It was great meetin' all you guys................I think.”

“was the trail pretty tow up?”

“LMFAO!!!
Nigal, phuk you!
I am still proud of the way I saved that slide. That was one that needed to be on ESPN. Car sideways, tires chirping.... me - "Oh #&%!$, that was crazy" Nigal in the back counting his rosaries... beautiful. LOL! Hey what's a butt kicker in the cold with out a bit of blood thinner? We ONLY hiked 12 miles! Ya buncha puzzies!

Simer, I'm realy bummed that I didn't get to meet you. I was realy looking forward to it.

Yogi, so sorry we bolted from the TH. I didn't know you were right there. I thought you guys were miles behind Nigal.

Another memorable trip under the belt... If only I could remember half of it. HA! Thanks to all who showed, and made this what it was. It was realy nice to get out with some old friends.”

“I sit here on Sat. 2/21 & realize just how lucky we were on the weather, as we got another sloppy 3" of snow today. I had a great time, enjoyed meeting some new folks & even enjoyed being with the old ones.

BTW, I just finished a 14 Mile Trail run at Ceasar Creek Park near Springboro, Ohio, and I'm toast. It was very tough going, but I just kept thinking how lucky we were that I was not running down the KT. Now that would be a trail race.

Hope to see everyone throughout the year!”

“great to meet you. if you want to borrow my quilt setup just email me. glad to let you take it out for a test run.”

“Thanks Jimmy. Needless to say I had a strong case of quilt envy, as I shivered thru the night & you were toasty. I'm doing further research on the whole matter, and if I need a test run, I'll let you know. Thanks for the offer. See you down the trail...”

“Cheers all! Again, thanks for the hike - as I sit here in NOLA only 2 days from Mardi Gras! Party on!”

“it was great to hike with such an experienced group of hikers.”

“So what makes the under quilt so unique or specialized? Is it just a quilt or does it have super properties? Could you find a cheaper bag and simply make one?”

“I think the key thing about a under quilt is that it's not compressed under the body. The ones I've seen go under the hammock and fits closely to it. Is that correct?”

“I could guess all day about the what & why, but you would be better served to check out JacksRbetter for an overview of the various quilts, etc. Also, check out Hammock Forums, they are full of good info. All I know is I was cold & Jimmisan was not!”

“the jacksrbetter quilts are -made- for the hennesey hammocks. all the tabs/straps/etc are sewn so it all clips together for a perfect fit. if you want a quilt for underneath a hammock look at the models with the "split" where the opening in the hammock is. my underquilt doesn't have that because i use it in late spring/summer/early fall as a stand-alone quilt.”

“btw, nigal, i see no reason why you could not make an underquilt out of a sleeping bag, etc. people have made them before. a little careful measuring to get the hang points is all that is required. in the end the jrb quilt is a rectangle with traps sewn in the corners/sides and draw-strings on either end(to bunch up the quilt at the head/feet.”
