It's been a few days since I've been on HF. I'm just back from a wonderful trip to San Fran and then Boulder, CO. Thanks for the bear repellant advice Spikemaulmaster! Though I'm not sure that I...

Hey Texas Longhorn- Anna's Hammocks are $39 + $6 S&H. You can find all the details if you press the link in my signature. Thanks for the interest!

Thanks dejoha. Those are really good tips. I practice almost all of them - keeping food in a cache, not eating or washing dishes in my campsite etc., but the keeping sleeping clothes separate is a...

Hahaha! You've got me there Olddog! I guess it's purely a psychological kind of bear proof. I honestly have no idea what is more "safe" in bear country. However, I can't help the thought that to a...

Thanks Knotty. Consider me a sponge. I am so happy to be part of a forum of people who have tried and true knowledge, not to mention passion, about hammocks and all of their benefits. I'll take all...

I feel like a big jerk for not having known that. After reading more about tree huggers and whoopie slings - I can see that they are essential equipment.

Best. Forum. Ever.
Thanks for the tips Knotty, WildBill, and Redoleary.
So helpful.

Hey Knotty-
Thanks for the tip! I'll pass it on for sure. I have (obviously) never used tree hugger straps before so I looked them up. Is the material that they are made out of like dog leash/collar...

We'll be there in July! I can't wait to set up my hammock in my favorite spot overlooking the lake with a cold beer (totally worth the effort of packing it in). Maybe see you there!
Unless, of...

Hey Red-
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to just commit and get down there this summer.
I had a look at some of your photos. Your homemade gear is so cool - esp. the sleeping bag. I'm super...

Hey Boomer -Do you ever camp on the Olympic Peninsula? I look longingly over there whenever I'm on Vancouver Island. I'd love to check it out, but I'm just not familiar with the good spots.

Hey Boomer- I haven't tried any other hammock than the one Anna made for me. Since joining this forum, I've learned so much about all of the gear that can go along with buying a hammock! Oh my. I'm...

Thanks for your post Boomer. It makes me feel better about sleeping in my hammock despite the bear and cougar warnings. I'm not at all worried about cougars coming around in the night but I am super...

Anna and her husband Jon sleep in their hammocks whenever they go camping. It's impossible to get them to sleep in a tent! I am way too chicken to sleep in my hammock! In my defense, Anna and Jon...

Hi everyone- I am also new to this forum. I googled my sister's website and found this thread about her hammocks. I hope I can answer any questions that members may have about them. *Disclaimer* I am...
