some good stuff, i've enjoyed reading the anecdotes, trials and success stories.
hanging seems to still be growing rapidly.

i need to get another 'yak. sold mine 3 years ago.

it's remarkable how many ppl found Shug's videos on *youtube, that tells me there must be dozens of ppl who are curious about hammocking, and also dozens that just stumble upon the idea, and get an...

at the time i started this thread, it never crossed my mind that it could reach 1000 posts.. but it looks like it's well on the way. wonder if we can make it before the end of the year?

FB, what kind of retreat was half-full of hangers?
sounds like a good club to be in!

great stories one and all! thanks for sharing, everyone. keep 'em coming!

here's a glimpse: you can see the head end about 3-4' apart, photo taken from foot end and covered with Zpacks cuben tarp. In cases of worse weather, porch mode can be dropped to bring tarp to ground...

:huh:

that and a jolly rancher, and you're set :laugh:

SUL pack list that i created, am planning to use this weekend. However im adding a 5oz camera to be carried around neck, but to be fair it wont qualify as sub 5 after that...

there is great info on all things hammock in the forum directory..

youre welcome, PGibson!
yes, Topo is a great name. He's a good dog. a pound rescue, i believe.
glad the info i gave brought you here... trouble is now you will become addicted, so blame me? ...

i agree that train of thought that people are hesitant to try something they are not flat out "told" to do. I always say that if REI etc.. had hammocks on the showroom floor, the army of hangers...

FiveOh, nice avatar. Monument Valley, Arizona?

man, the ability to sit under your tarp, just your tarp alone strung up about 7' high and guyed out as far as you can get it - while its pouring down rain and all your campmates are confined to their...
