    Swingin in Michigan....

    That sounds like some thread title on one of those ADULT sites....

    New to the trees here in Michigan, my buddy and I actually spent the past weekend kayaking down the Au Sable River for three nights with our first $5 hammocks from Wally World, homemade toole bugnets, and cheapo tarps from Menards. Took the first night to get the bugs, I mean kinks, worked out but after that it got better and better.... Had serious rain night two and stayed dry as a bug under our tarps and in our hammocks.... Rained so hard it pushed two tent campers out their tents at 5:00am to pack stuff up and call it quits.... I was impressed with how even the cheapo tarp with bungee tie-outs took the rain and wind... Can't wait to make a really fly for the rig....

    Already gained a great deal of knowledge from all the posts here and can't wait to get the sewing machine out and see what other things i can create....

    I'M LOVIN' IT... Now if I can just get the girlfriend to appreciate the benefits of a hammock...
    Happy Hangin'

    That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error.

    Welcome from another Michiganian. Michigan rivers are great to travel and hang.

    Sounds like you had a good trip and some where along the way. You were bitten by the hammock bug. Welcome to the club.
