Oh no... .. and - Howdy from the Finger Lakes
Oh no... I'm afraid I've acquired a new outdoor obsession with hammocks and have stumbled upon a bevy of knowledgeable hammock addicts to help me learn the ropes (pun intended).
I completed my first noob rite-of-passage today in running out and buying the first hammock that struck my fancy - the ENO Doublenest. Even after searching here on the forum a bit about some recommended mods, I'm still not exactly sure what Whoopie straps are yet, but the name alone has me intrigued enough to read on about them! :boggle:
Suffice it to say that after spending some time in my new hammock this afternoon, I experienced a higher level of comfort than I've had sleeping ANYWHERE in quite awhile. I've wanted to try sleeping in a hammock ever since I saw people using them as their permanent sleeping mode while driving through southern Mexico and Belize a few years back. I'm happy that I finally made good on this impulse!
My first moments of bliss today...
