    Hello from Ontario

    Hey all, I've been lurking here for quite awhile so I thought it was high time to say Hello!

    I live in Ontario, Canada and am a long time camper.

    I never gave much thought to hammocks until I stumbled onto Shug's YouTube page for an unrelated video. I was very intrigued. I remember seeing all those ads for army surplus 'Jungle Hammocks' in the outdoors magazines, when I was a kid, but never had any idea how far they had come and how many people were using them.

    Anyhow, I have learned a great deal here and am currently making my first hammock, a DIY Hennesey and have it largely completed. Hopefully I'll be hangin' with you all shortly.

    Cheers
    Don

    Yup, I've been learning. Never rode a Uni before, and it never even occured to me till I saw your vids, and now I am hooked big time. Same story as the hammocks, I knew they were around but had no idea how far they have come or what folks were doing with them. Gotta love YouTube!

    I have a 24 inch Braun Muni and have been working at it for three months now. Can ride OK, and do moderate trails. Just working on hopping now so should be able to hit some rougher stuff soon. LOVE IT!!

    Thank You so much for posting all the videos! They are making a difference!!

    Thanks
    Don

    You are welcome.
    I will weep now .... in my hammock.
    They do go great together.
    There is a post on the uni site where two guys rode ... one on a 36" uni... from Quebec City to Montreal and slept in Hennessy Hammocks...... good stuff.
    I wept.....

    Thanks Shug, I will definitely check that out.

    Sorry Odds, Halloween is major for me, huge yard display. I'm a big Halloweenie! Too bad really, I'm not too far away either, and would have loved to get some tips from the Pro's. I'll keep checking for more local stuff though. Is there much going on up here?
