The cost of joining

[Alamosa]

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Along the lines of what I was thinking:

God grant me the opportunity to learn of new adventures;
the courage to experience them;
the gear to experience them in style;
and the money to afford it all!

[Buffalo Skipper]

Thanks all of you!
With only 1 Hammock (soon to be 2), 2 Tarps and 3 UnderQuilts, I feel like I am not an addict at all.

After all, it is only one more hammock. I have only been doing this for 7 months. I can quit any time.

I am not a hammockholic - I am a social hammocker.

4 diy hammocks
3 quilts
2 Phoenix UQ's
1 tarp


Wait only one tarp? Excuse me for a moment...

I thought just looking at this forum every day made me a little bit of an addict. Wrong....

My names Tim and I Am a Hamoholic.

I joined this forum in Oct of last year. I swear I was just going to buy ONE hammock, read a few posts and go on my way. In December I bought my first hammock. A BB 1.7 double @$175.00.
Ok, just that one drink, I can quit any time I want.

WAIT

Someone said I need a tarp. Super Fly only $130.00, not to bad, maybe just one more drink than I'll stop.

What's that? I need special rope? What kind to get? There's more than one?
Z-Packs, $110.00
Arrowhead $34.00
Jack's $100.00
Stu $48.00

Hey, it's cold in this thing.

Hammock Gear UQ $250.00
WM Highlite $280.00

Ok, I'm done.... But WAIT, just one more, than I'll quit for good.... I PROMISE

Nano-7 $80.00

I"M DONE (why am I trembling, I'm sweating, I can't sleep)

Maybe JUST ONE MORE, JUST ONE LITTLE DRINK

Yesterday I ordered
WB single layer 1.1, $160.00
WB Travler 1.1 $60.00
Tree to Tree Shamu UQ $125.00

WHAT????????

The 12x12 tarps are back in stock???? better get two

I'll stop tomorrow, promise

If there are any gear makers here i've missed, I'll get to you soon.... It's pay day

Have another 2 drinks and start again!!

What--- you don't have a pack to carry your gear???

Really,, you can quit-at any time, I know you can!!

Opps one more drink,
Need a stove so you can camp with all that gear...

Just one more.....
Now that you have the stove, you need cookware.....

Ok, now you can quit.. finally....

Oppps, fell off that wagon again, now you need comfortable hiking shoes, and clothes.....

And don't forget the Dutch clips, and biners, the whoppie slings and tree huggers......


Aaaaaaaa, IT NEVER ENDS!!!!!!

I kicked the hiking habit, I hiked the AT a few times. Now I got my wife and kid into it so we spent last weekend buying packs.

They now have the habit, we had to to go to every shoe store to get the right colour hiking shoes to match the new packs.

They sure will be mad when the new WBBB get here and there not pink like I told them.

I have a feeling I'll be buying from Arrowhead for the flamethrower UQ's (in pink)

Its only an addiction if you are trying to stop.

A hammockolic goes to meetings and has a 12 step plan to stop hanging while a hammock hanger does not.

I think I preferr to be a hammock hanger as the the alternative is if I stop hanging I have to go back to using a tent

Wow...I'm horribly behind the power curve.

I've only got one hammock, one tarp, the HHSS setup as my UQ, and my ICW sleeping bag and PL as my TQ options.

Oh, wait...I've only hung once, about 3 weeks ago.

Perhaps I'm just a slow starter?
