    Greetings from Suomi-Finland

    Shy as I am took my time building courage to introduce myself And wanted to see if I can sleep in a hammock more than 30 minutes? Now I have reached a stage where I have to force myself out of the hammock to go to work!

    I have tried hammocking during the years, but faulty equipment has only caused backache and sore buttocks.

    After hitting the 50 year marker I did some soul searching and decided to let go of some hard earned €uros. I got myself a DD Traveler and Ticket to the Moon Double hammocks.

    Maybe hammocking won´t make me young and flexible again, but at least I´ll be doing something useful ... says the Mrs!
    If it would be easy, everybody would be doing it

    Welcome to HF!

    As it happens, as I type this greeting I am sitting in an airport lounge in Helsinki........just passing through, though, heading home to the US after a week in Sweden.

    You'll find lots of friendly folks here, including some from Scandinavia. Hope you can connect with them sometime.
