Wish I could get back for this. I may try to get back for the summer one. I'm on Phoenix now, back from Honduras, but it is still a long trip. Totally worth it for one of neo's hangs, though.

I'm officially in town and ready to rock. Hope folks come out tonight to eat pizza and catch up with each other.
While you are wandering the Huntsville want ads, fine me a job! I'm ready to move back.
Hey Y'all!! The finally unlocked this place on my work network so I can post. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again. R-Dawg, really hope you can make it. Is the new job down here? R-man,...
Thanks, everyone, for showing up. Getting together at Fletchers with the group is really something that makes me know I'm 'home'.
((((LOST)))) Woo Hoo!!! Yeah, I lost your number, was going to call Nest back to get it, but you beat me to it. I'm really looking forward to seeing you again.
((neo & logan))
Re tags: right above the quick reply header. Ok, I just get worried about Big Brother schlepping along after me.
I'm going to say Wednesday, 6 at Fletchers. Ewker, heck, I even miss you! ...
No pics of hanging here. I don't get out to the forests much, or at all. Too dangerous. And, no one to go with.
Just an unrelated question: how did this thread get tags attached to it? I'm...
I'm heading up to the States from Honduras for a couple of weeks, and I'll be in Nashville most of next week. Anyone up for a Fletcher's pizza nite? Anyone know if Fletcher's is still in business? ...
My deepest condolences to Lost and Nest. I really have no words. I work daily with members of the Military, and am on a military post with the guys who talk about down range as just another place...
Noted! Can't wait until I am at your place in Sept so we can play with this more. Ummm, yes, that is a hint. Especially since I'm planning on meeting up with you at a campground... :lol:
Check out Turtle Lady's design for a stand. She travels with her stand quite a bit.
What are you doing in Malaysia? I'm thinking of trying for a job over there next.
Hmmm. I looked at yours to see if I paid a reasonable price. :)
Ok, I'll bite. I've been looking at these for awhile. Living where it tends to rain a lot, and since I usually carry my daypack, your timing is right. I'll send a PM.
I was at Ft. Lewis until this last Sept doing contract IT support for the 160th. Wish you had shown up sooner. :) I'm in Honduras now. We had at least 1 get together in Bremmerton at the State...
I got an off-brand one for $16 (actually I bought 2) that someone on here found back in the day, and it is longer and larger than the TTM/Trek Light, etc. ones. Made it more difficult to get...
Welcome, neighbor. :) I'm making my first woven hammock.
testing.....
((Troll))
We hare having issues at work today, too. It is no fun when the internets and computers in general don't behave.
And I got it just now again, too, when I was posting to report it. :)
Not to be confused with the 'wait 30 seconds' message that I just now got since I was too quick to come over here to tell you...
I just came back to post the same 'this is a duplicate' error message. I haven't posted all day to that point.
Wow, wish I could join you. Panama is one place I was hoping to see while I'm down here.
The poles are not attached, just slipped into holes in the top bracket and indentations on the bottom board. The hammock is pushed down to the bottom, the pole pushed up and the hammock pushed off...
The guys who have actually finished one and started a second one way that it take 2 hours per stripe. A stripe is 4 100' lengths of string that is what each 'ball' includes. It takes 9 balls of...
I started a thread in the General forum about the hammock I'm weaving and included 3 pictures. Well, the html is there, but the pictures don't show. I guess I've not posted pictures that I have...
This is a cross-post from my journal, so if you read my journal, you can skip this entry. :) It may take me a few tries to get the pictures right. EDIT: Ok, what am I doing wrong? These...
Wow, LEED certifies everything now. Even wives! Who knew?
I'm contemplating a method where the hammock suspension connects directly to the loops that hang off the tripods so the ridge pole really doesn't hold any weight at all.
Ummm, if you only have...
This last week I bought the cotton 'yarn' from the local yarn guy who delivers to post enough yarn to make a double hammock. He wanted $200. I walked away at $150. I came back and paid $120. For...
Woo Hoo!!! Someone actually used my design! Well, not entirely my design, a lot of other input... Looks good! Glad to help inspire more portable stand ideas.
My condolences and thoughts going your way.
My parents have taken care of all arrangements, paid for it, and I knew where the phone number was to call to set it all in motion. When my Dad passed...
One of my better moves was getting my BWDD Winter Dream tarp when I did. Especially glad now that they are collectors items.
Cannibal, thanks for the note in the picture. I miss you, too. Turtle Lady was my on the spot reporter. :)
Wow, I went to part of 1st grade in Avon. We lived in Broadacre trailer court, don't know if it is still there. Welcome.
Thoughts and prayers sent from here. It is really strange to find out all this via the internet rather than have any hint by the weather.
I camped here one year: www.cedarbrookcampground.com/
Kind of far away, but because of that it was fairly empty during the hamvention. I remember trees, but it was before I started hammocking so...
Wish I could make it this year. My first Dayton Hamvention was '78, when I was attending tech school. It was a bonanza for a electronic tech student with projects to put together for class. The...
I've been looking for a man who was... nope, I can't finish it. It would get deleted anyway. :)
/me is so proud!
I remember the first time I took a camping hammock to Turtle Lady's house and set it up. She was polite, and laid in it for a minute, then we all went back into the house and...
Does she hang inside or outside? Here in Honduras I live in a hotel, and I have my hammock stand set up and was using by blackbird for awhile. I am now using the stand to hold up a mosquito net...

I only know her from a couple of posts at WB I saw, and the entries in her journal, but she seems like she will be fun to follow. She starts Sunday, and was talking...
I will attempt to represent the Honduras hammockers tonight. It is tonight, isn't it?
My Mom and her side of the family all live south of St. Jo, MO. I was just there last weekend, on vacation from Honduras (that just sounds backwards, doesn't it?). My Uncle kept calling folks with...
I know in the US the answer is 'just pick up the darn phone and call', but as someone who now live 'overseas' I can tell you that that is not a good option unless it is for a very major issue. It is...
I'm not sure what it says about me NOT being top heavy (sigh), but I like level. Feet higher and my feet just get numb, I don't slide.
This looks like the '$50 Viet Nam' hammock that Neo found a couple of years ago on E-Bay and that both he and I got. His son, Logan, used it for awhile. I used mine one night, and the only reason I...
A TL double was my first hammock. I still use it when hanging indoors. It's versatile, you can play with it and do various temporary modifications. The material is nice. I'd definitely go with a...
Hey, Chad
I was proud to do software support for the 4th batt of 160th for 2 years. You guys are awesome. Welcome to the forum.
