That's awesome news! In regards to the best hammock that a whole can of worms. In regards to the toughest though, I really recommend my Hennessy Jungle Safari Zip (which just so happens to be on sale right now). It's super roomy and can handle up to 350 pounds. It also has a double bottom which I wanted.Count me in Gents! I’ve been looking forward to this for 3 years.
Who makes the best/ toughest hammock? I want to try one. Pm me so we don t ruin bens thread, unless he’s first to reply and doesn’t mind.. I’m excited to meet you hogs!

Admittedly, hammock talk isn't quite as "cool" as talking about resins.
If it wasn't for polymers(resin) you wouldn't even be talking about hammocks.

So... for the first timers...
This isn't going to be a long, protracted hike, yeah? I'd imagine not many of us feel like hiking in 30 lbs of INFI along with our regular packs...
From the previous pics, I'd imagine we're going to be driving a majority of the way... is a cooler full of beverages and pork chops out of the question? If we're anticipating rain, are we going to be under tarp or is a canopy (again in pics) a thing we can bring with?
Just kinda setting the scene here... let me know!

Good question. There is no need to hike anything for this trip. The gravel driveway leads all the way up to where we camp, so a cooler full of beverages and pork chops is absolutely a great idea! In regards to the rain, we will definitely setup a canopy / tarp or two if it is raining so there will be cover. The first year we also added another canopy near the fire so that we could all sit under cover and watch the fire. With a little luck it won't rain, but if it does we will be prepared for it, and it will still be fun!

Once again I got excited when I heard this was in WV (since I was raised there and still have lots of family there). However, It's a 5.5 hour drive each way. Given, I could make a pit stop at family's (@3 hours). Just saw this again, so it would be last minute, but I'm considering. I've been trying to stop spending "Busse Money" on knives. For the price of a big chopper I can buy something that has a trigger and a firing ping, and isn't a bottom feeder (LOL). I'm sure I'm not the only one here who gets Spring (Busse) fever the closer it gets to June though.
Anyway, if there's anyone in the Western NC, Eastern TN, Southwest VA, South WVA area that might be interested in carpooling (and is a non smoker) let me know. I'll need to make a decision ASAP since I'm sure the wife will be asking any day now "what are your plans for next weekend".
Anyone bringing wives and/or children?
They're Girl Scouts, but not really the "no running water/toilet kind".

I don't believe so, at least nobody has said that they plan to. Not that they are not welcome, but it's a special kind of wife that thinks hanging out in the woods with a random bunch of dudes swinging knives is a fun activity.
