Went camping with the Boy Scouts this weekend in beautiful Valley Forge, Pa. Only 3 of the 8 campers brought their hammocks! I made hammocks for the entire troop last year!
My son, the Scoutmaster, and myself were the only hammockers. The 5 kids that didn't bring their hammocks were jealous.
Any way, here are some shots of my setup,

Good on ya! I fish in the little feeder creek on the left side of the entrance into Valley Forge National Park when I visit family down there. Used to run around the park twice to taper-down for the Philadelphia Distance Run (Half Marathon) when I had knees.
Taking the kids out in any mode is to be commended!

I be displaying my new hammock gear to the parents of my pack and I am sure when me and my son get set up at our first camping trip this year we will have a lot of interested parties. Good job trying to get some young ones hooked.Quote:

I wish I would have known that you were going to be there as I'm not even 10 minutes from the park. I didn't even know you could camp there. Well next time shoot me a PM and I'll stop by/ help out how ever you need.
Funny you should mention that. There is an "unofficial" hammock merit badge, complete with requirements. See this thread.Quote:

We didn't camp in the park, Valley Forge Volunteer Fire Department runs a three site scout camp. Very nice camp.Quote:
