    Smile City Slingin'

    Took my Doublenest out for a freestyle hang around Chicago. Found a great spot under the "L" by DePaul for an afternoon nap!

    Anyone know of any must hang spots here in the city?

    Nice spot. What pack is that? Camelbak ambush?

    Very cool! If you loosen those straps a bit you will get more sag and a more comfortable lie. And don't forget to lay on the diagonal!

    The pack is a Molle II Assault pack, ordered it off ebay and it has been phenomenally versatile and durable. I reccommend military gear when possible since it is built for the roughest conditions in the world!

    Would have loved to loosen the straps a bit more but the crossbar on the underside caused a clearance issue, it fit just enough to swing with my 180lbs in it!

    One gets used to the sound of a train overhead, my Bose Triports make sleeping a bit easier The vibrations are interesting though!

    You're brave. Give me bears *any* day - you can keep the denizens of Chicago. Cool pics but not for this guy.

    Chicago has Bears and Cubs! Fortunately neither are very intimidating

    Sounds like a good title for a new post.... (in reference to the old Newlywed Game classic video....), Where is the strangest place you've ever hung (Pics necessary!)
    .... the Aardvark (earth pig)... a rather unremarkable creature whose sole claim to fame is that it is the first animal listed in the dictionary.
