And by the time you guys will see my quilt I'll have put the snaps that I just bought on it. I didn't have too many drafts in the foot area while hanging. I really only had drafts in the morning when I was moving around a bit. But I think 4-6 snaps should cover that. I'll have to learn Shug's way of cookin' breakfast from the hammock. Sounds nice & cozy.

Breakfast from the hammock .... one of life's finer moments!!!!!

Jofish- Looks great! Much better than my first quilt! Sounds like it's really warm too.

There is too much info on this website! I have brain overload and can no longer keep it all straight!

I can relate to those thoughts, Jerry! I too wanted to check out your quilt at the Hang, Jofish. I was in a bit of a daze at the hang, seeing all that lust-worthy gear all over the place. I didn't get to actually check out half the stuff I wanted to.

We should try a hang in Southern-ish WI this winter. Seems like most of the WI people are from SE WI or thereabouts, and there are some other people just south of the border who may like to come up...

Well I was thinking of checking out Buckhorn State Park some time this winter. Maybe we should set up a hang for some time in December or January. Might people be interested?
