    Backyard Stealth Hang

    Well, I have been on light duty ( as in not being able to or not supposed to do a dam thing ,dang near) for a few weeks now,,,

    Yesterday before dark I hung my HH Dersert Rat with the intentions of sneaking out of the house after the kida went to bed.

    No deal....

    I got busted going out the door, so I had to take my Posse with me...the kids have been scared to camp out since last fall when they saw the pictures of the cyotes, ( they call them wolf"ez) on the game camera. So out the door we went.


    Once we got in the hammock, it was several minutes of the "fiddle factor" as they played with the headlights.


    And the ritual of,,, "scooch over",,, "she's touching me".... " stop"

    finally we all got settled in

    But it didnt last... about 2 am, DAD had to pee...... they whole gang was awake now after I climbed out...
    The hammock over niter was aborted and I had to set up a tent......
    I tried uploading pictures of the tent,,,, but just couldn't bring myself to it.....

    Dad's retreat turns into the play ground. You are a good Dad. Thanks for posting.
