addiction taking over vs. discount

**skoalbandit30** · 10-06-2010, 08:30

alright, after my 10th hammock i decided "this is it", but then----- i realize(after a lot of full price fabric i might add), that it you buy the magazine at jo-anns you get a lot of nice discount cupons in the back(33-50 percent!)sooo--diy bridge, here i come!!

10. Is that all?
You can't go quitting this early; you're committed now!

Yes, there is, but this is it and we don't recommend quitting. Our leader above is leading us like lemmings to the cliff. There is no turning back.

Well then, that's better.

10 DIY and 5 commercial rigs and you've only been a member here since June? I believe you have some potential. Gonna have to keep my eye on you.

i blame shug__the"Marlboro man" of hammocks

( on a serious note, thought id share the bit about the cupons,in case anyone else missed it, 3 bucks for a magazine can meen a lot of savings)

I don't have a problem...I just purchased my first hammock and received it Tuesday. Before it even came in I jumped on the Hennessey demo sale and snagged an Expedition, a few snake skins, a large hex fly, and an over cover...I can honestly say though that I was sleeping my first night in my hammock before the money for the second one hit the bank! I've got a few pads and am on my way to making my own UQ. I don't think my money knew what hit it!

I have only 6 commercial hammocks and 5 completed DIY projects...I'm falling behind.

I would blame Shug too; he makes juggling, BBQing and hammocking look so easy yet then with a little practice I found out that they are. And light on the pocket book too WHOOO BUDDY.

Seriously though, my next/current adventure is also a bridge hammock, please keep us posted, I'd love to see your bridge. Oh yea, and find out how far I'm falling behind.

ive actually already finished a bridge, slept in it this weekend with varying results. used amsteel instead of straps down the side and hardwood spreaders. had a few issues with it though, so decided to "take it back to formula" so to speek, try to get pics as new one progresses.

LOL!!!! My GF thinks we're all nuts.... I've made two tarp, three hammocks, a hammock sock, modded three sleeping bags, and have plans for more... All in a little over a month or so.... Seriously though, I'm starting to hide things from her... Do I have a problem????
