    Goodbye HMF!!! :(

    Well its come to that time again, im Back off to the jungle for between 6 months and 2 years depending on contracts. Im leaving on friday and will obviously have limited to absolutely no internet (or electricity for that matter) for extended periods of time and definitely no internet till mid october!

    I really just wanted to say thank you.

    thank you to the forums community for making it a pleasant place to be. no question seems too trivial or too stupid and the responses are always polite, though sometimes a little heated... (garda hitch anyone??? shhhh!)

    I have also found that being a donated member has been great fun as well and adds a little bit of extra banter but also a quiet sense of pride that i am helping out something so worth while.

    I regularly bang on about hammock forums to people who ask questions on my youtube videos and will continue to direct as many people as possible in this direction as it has helped me immeasurably.

    The advice on here has been fantastic all the way through and the amount of ideas being generated on a daily basis is truly mind blowing. Some of you have far too much knowledge for your own good in all honesty....

    Ive made some great friends on here and you will be sorely missed.

    Best of luck to you all and safe hanging, i know ill be loving my hh ex d asm in the jungle every night! jealous much? dont be... the awesomeness wears off!

    See you all again in the future!

    Jimmy

    good luck out there!
    When it seems like the night will last forever
    And there's nothing left to do but count the years
    When the strings of my heart start to sever
    And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
    I will walk alone by the black muddy river
    And dream me a dream of my own
    -Jerry

    Take care, Jimmy, and have a great adventure! If you are hammock hanging in the jungle most of that time(though you may already have all of this experience) you should be near the top advisers here based on practical experience in rainy conditions. Look forward to your posts when you get back!
