Cool, I've been looking for a good one with a built in bug net for us big folks without going up into the $250 range. Seems kind of hard to find.
 
the grand trunk skeeter beater pro isn't bad from what I hear and is rated for 400 pounds -- they run about $80.

On a serious note.......if any of you are planning on shooting anything, or being around the shooters, you might want to bring some hearing protection, eye protection and a hat with some type of brim. Just a suggestion for those of you that might not know. :)

If need be, I can bring plenty of ear pro again.

I've looked at that one and I am seriously thinking about it.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I just thought I'd throw that out there for anybody that planned on it. I'm not sure if there will be any shooting or not....don't know what the plans are.

I'll go ahead and bring my other one too, let you try it out. It's a Mil-Surp jungle hammock. I used it last time no real issues except the included hoop broke, but Eric(k?) said it looked like it was never welded in the first place.

I solved that this time by buying a set of ratchet straps.
 
Wow.......

Looks as if thereis gonna be waaaay too much fun.......I will be back in Vonore next tuesday.......Will have plenty time to do a clean and burn and get the giant crabgrass (24 in tall) and the poke mowed down.........John and Megan, And I are already planning food.......gonna maybe do a braised pork stew on friday and if there are no strenuous objections.....Macleid's Rockcastle Chili on Saturday.......

Looks to be a great crew and a rollicking good time.........Yeah..........

Thanks
 
You guys should be thankful I'm not going, I loves me some chili...

Last year was planned around my son's B-Day (so I no go) this year we planned a trip to Florida so naturally you guys plan it again when I can't go, I'm beginning to think maybe I should cash in my BH number as it seems no one wants me there.. :p
 
I've got a little problem with the chili...






















































Can we make it a little spicier this time?????
