    Howdy from Texas!

    Hey y'all, I just wanted to say howdy and thanks for all the help so far. I'm an audio engineer and am on the road some with traveling shows. I try to camp instead of staying in motels where my bedding is questionable at best. I have been using a walmart cheapie and tarp so far, but just got a hennessy as a Christmas present to myself...I'm excited about this new leg in my journey to outdoors sleeping bliss!

    Welcome maestro! You did yourself well by getting yourself a Hennessy. I'm thinking you'll find it much better than those "questionable" motel beds. Enjoy the hammock and the great forum we have here.

    Welcome! You are probably more correct than most here would want to know. I have done LEO searches on some and...well, y'all really DON'T want to know some of what turned up under mattresses in "cleaned" rooms.

    Good call maestro.

    Howdy from the West Kootenay

    Welcome maestrobranson

    and merry Christmas, I hope you enjoy your own room with a view
    whilst outta town . . .

    I hear ya, Tee Hee,
    as I have done sound over the years,
    radio, live groups, radio plays live to air, etc.

    One day you may move from the hennessy motel to the Clark Hilton . . .

    If not you will still be OK . . . 'cause your hangin' . . .

    PS:

    be sure to check out the 'indoor hanging' threads, might get a few ideas, and alternative support structures. Welcome to the learning curve!

    Howdy Maestro and welcome from another West Texas hanger.
    Trees are pretty sparse in your area.

    I'm a fellow flat-lander who has been kidnapped and held in Deep East Texas.
    I'd gladly trade you a few trees for beautiful sunset filled with orange and purple hues.

    Come join us some time for Texas hang.

    Welcome.
