    Shameless plug for our cottage industries

    As I was sitting here this afternoon, putting snake skins on my new MacCat Deluxe tarp, I realized that I recently had a serious case of spring fever (my wife says it was my 50th Bday) and it resulted in a lot of new gear for my up coming Cumberland Island adventure...

    Yeti by Warbonnet Outdoors
    Whoopie Slings by Opie
    Tree Straps and bear bag line by Arrowhead

    Each item was shipped promptly arrived in excellent condition, and each individual was a pleasure to deal with. The only thing that I purchased NOT from a Hammock Forums person was a SticKPic, and for all I know they may be on here as well!

    I'd like to thank each and every cottage industry on here, and just so JRB doesn't feel left out, I'm taking my Nest with me and using it as a top quilt...

    PS - 2Q, I'm feeling some Grizz beaks in my future, so I hope to talk to the wonderful ZQ again!

    Way to spread the lover around, Sweeper. I'm turning 50 this year. I've got a lot to look forward to if I do half as well as you!

    Woohoo! Shopping spree only 10 years away.
    I guess it really does take a cottage to raise a hanger.

    Yeah - oh to know as much as I do now and to still have the good back to go with it! 50 was a fun b'day.

    Except I was told by the back Doc NOT to:

    Play golf anymore (no big loss)
    Run/jog anymore (walking in the woods is wayyyy better, anyway)
    Split firewood (well, two out of three ain't bad, can't give that up!

    i completely agree with you sweeper. there are many 'retailers' on this site and the only two i have dealt with are brandon and scott (the 'winter dream' tarp arrived today). both products are top-notch and made by people who care what people think of them and their gear.

    bravo

    Thanks for the vote of confidence sweeper.

    This "venture" has kept me busier than I imagined.

    On behalf of ZQ and myself, we appreciate the community of folks on this forum, those who helped us get started, supported our service, and continue to spread the word about what we offer. It's hard to imagine 260+ hammocks ago we were wondering if zipper mods for Hennessy's would take hold. We look forward to serving fellow hangers this year.
