Greetings,
As I packed up my hammocks today during our trip to the Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River (http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=22954), I had an epiphany: most of how I spend my time in the outdoors is directly influenced by you fine folk.
Let's have a look, shall we?
That's a pretty standard Hennesy setup, but look closely and you'll see your handiwork.
Bungee cords on the tarp tie outs to suck the tarp back in when it stretches during rain. I learned that here.
Here are a number of good things I learned by reading these pages. The tarp is hung lower than the hammock so that when you get in, the tarp still covers your butt. I now use whoopie slings so that I don't have to perform the Hennessy lash dance while adjusting the centering and hight. I see long tree huggers with Marlin spike toggles. Oh, yea, you can't see it, but the foot of my hammock is higher than my head.
What have we here? A blackbishop sack and if you look back at the first photo, you might spot some homemade Red River Gorge quilts. I'm not smart enough to come up with that stuff on my own.
So, I want to thank all of you who have been so gracious with your experience and your knowledge. My daughter and I truly appreciate all you have given us.
