    0 to Hammock pig in 3 months

    I blame "Animal Control" he sold me a HH exped for $50.00 ,
    Then I got a HHULB for $70 off CR
    Then I got a Parriot bay for $25.
    Then I got another HH ULBA for $80. off CR
    Just got a HH ULexplor for 100.00 off CR

    I got the original exped for Me, then had to get something for kid 1, then got the pariot bay for kid 2, the fought over who got the hh, so got another, then kid #3 started coming with us.

    So we now have a hammock for me, wife and 3 kids, but if i got a BB, no one would be left with the parriot bay.

    My family hangs cheap... HH, Byer Moskito and Byer Traveler, with various tarps and pads. We have a 13' Scamp camper, but my wife and dog are the only ones who sleep in it. My son, daughter and myself end up hanging all around the Egg Roll. Smiling Face has to talk someone out of hanging in a hammock, so she and Scuppers the Sailor Dog won't be all alone!

    Just wait, next are Tarps and UQ (everyone needs at least one apiece, right )

    How do you think you ended up with my HH Exped?

    I know the feeling. Started off with a skeeter pro. I liked it a lot and it served me well......
    Until I found this site and realized what I was missing with all the other options out there. So I bought a hennesy expidition. Then a Clark NA then a Clark tropical. Oh and I had to have one of those ENOs double everybody loved. And my last purchase was a plain Myanmar cotton hammock just to hang in the yard. Would not want to mess up one of my more expensive hammocks.
