Tony, I take 1,000mg glucosamine twice a day every day. General advice is to take 3,000mg/d for first month, then drop back to a smaller maintance dosage....
An interesting idea Amy! I've also noticed the accumulated water when using a z-rest pad. Not sure if drain holes would work or not, but would be interested...

... I'll have to do some testing, obviously. Good idea with the yarn. I have no idea if wet yarn would pump heat out or not. I can think of arguments for ...
does anyone have information about restrictions of hanging hammocks on the AT section starting at Crampton Gap, Maryland to Bears Den Hostel in VA? Somewhere...
I know of no actual restrictions and I didn't have any problems with that section in 99 or 01. However, pay close attention to any state parks since they...

Folks, it looks like i will go for a Bana and then make my own hammock later. The reason being i mentioned the idea of hammock camping at my kids' school ...
Wow! How exciting Robi! You've started on a very rewarding project and I'm sure the kits are excited too. Let me be the first to donate to the project--I'll...
... chrondroitin ... I take 1.5g of glucosamine and 1.5g of MSM everyday. It comes in a combined glucosamine/MSM tablet -- 500mg of each in a tablet and I take...
Rick- Cool! Pardon me for "profiling." I don't expect most men to know much about fabrics. Guys in auto parts stores didn't usually expect me to have a clue...
Amy- Part of the insulative value of the foam pad is pockets of (dead) trapped air. Holes would seem to allow airflow. Maybe how much airflow will be ...
Amy- It could be that the MSM and Vit. C were playing a larger part than the Chondroitin. I also have read that the Glucosamine plus Chondroitin supplements ...
BD- Details of parts of my 2001 section are blurred. IIRC, Maryland was strict about staying only in established camp sites. Like a $500 fine, if caught. ...
Just posted a picture (on this site under DebW) of the bugnet I made for my Speer Hammock. It has the bugnetting sewn to a ridgeline of 5/8 inch grossgrain...
Hi Amy, Another approach is the double bottomed hammock some of us are experimenting with. With a layer of cloth against the skin, the sweat is absorbed by...

Well, y'all got me interested in this stuff. My knee is doing better with rest and occasional vit I. I did a bit of an internet search on the subject and...
Rick, I noticed improvement in my knees after only two weeks--some people don't notice anything for 4 weeks or so. In any event, I'm confident you will feel...
