    Welcome to the neighbourhood. It's a nice place to be.
  4. Inspirational

    The work that you guys and BER are doing is inspirational. I have to admit that I am feeling the urge to steal my fabric impaler away from my daughter and have another go at the DIY.

    I have not found any shoulder squeeze in a eureka chrysalis type hammock. The problem is the weight.

    Pads work fine

    With all the promotion of underquilts and their corresponding costs in these forums, I'm suprised that an experienced hammocker will admit that pads actually work!

  9. curious as to where this is going.

    I don't have any advice for you but I kinda wonder where this is going to end up. I admire innovation.

    Part of the soup

    I think that for hammocking I like being part of the soup and being mixed in with everything/everyone else. I think that sites like myccr.com give enough regional flavour for my outdoor endeavours....

    pictures

    yeah having it in pictures is great. The yahoo group has done it for us. Having the pictures from the group really makes up for some of the confusion in the pattern and instructions.

    Don't you get cold?
