New Hanger From MA

[Adarack]

Morning all,

I'm a brand new hanger from Massachusetts.

About 6 weeks ago I picked up an Equip hammock from Walmart and a Hammock Bliss bug net from Campmor. Made a couple of Whoopie slings and a ridgeline out of 1/8 Amsteal blue and away I went.

I have since switch to webbing and cinch buckles on the Equip (nothing against the slings I just like the webbing more) and have ordered a Warbonnet Blackbird 1.7 Double (felt like a kid on Christmas when it arrived). Currently using a Guide Gear Tarp (no tie out mods yet maybe next weekend), and have a poncho liner UQ in the works.

Anyway I would not have done any of this if it was not for all the information from this site. Thanks to the videos from Shug, Grizz, Ramblinrev, and many others I have learned more than I thought there was about hammocking.

Thanks Guys, keep up the good work.

Jay

Welcome to the forums Adarack. Looks like your well on your way.

Not sure if you have seen this but there is a group hang coming up in our area-

Welcome to the forums. I will second that coming to the group hang would be fun-its the first of, perhaps, a yearly thing!

Welcome to the forum. You are on a great start and fast too.

I hope to see you at the Mass hang.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Thank you for letting me know about the group hang but unless something changes I should be working that weekend.

It is kinda fast... The story goes I got the Equip hammock without knowing anything about hammocks at all. Thought $25 was a good deal. After setting it up for a weekend afternoon I quickly learned the many weaknesses in the suspension of a $25 hammock . So while looking for a solution I came across Hammock Forums and the magic Amsteel Blue.

The Equip is still a nice hammock for $25 as long as you get rid of what it comes with. Its a little heavy with the bug net but great around the house for a afternoon nap or car camping.
