Been Lurking For Years

[Friar_Tuck]

Been lurking for years so I figured I'd pipe up. I've been hanging for about four years and I refuse to be a ground dweller ever again. Started with a $20 hammock and a Big Agnes pad. Bought an ENO and made a DIY 3 season UQ. Finally graduated up to a Winter Incubator (delivered today). Year round hanging is going to be great.

I've camped/hiked/backpacked for 40 years. I remember when you could still buy a wood framed backpack. They were pretty comfortable but heavy. I used to pack 70 lbs of crap into the woods. Now I get by with 25 lbs or less including food, water and Glenlivet.

Spam and Kielbasa are my favorite trail meals, along with salad, Gouda and some good hard bread.
OK, I admit it. I'm addicted to those freeze dried NASA ice cream sandwiches.

Wood frame pack, brilliant multiple-use (in case you run out of firewood...)

Kielbasa, Gouda and bread are quite gourmet, but SPAM (tasty though it may be) always seems to leave one, hours later, with a feeling of regret for not having spent that extra $1.50 on a snout-and-rectum-free meat product. And, for the record, astronaut icecream is terrible. Try a dipping a Snickers in some hot Tang for the ultimate backwoods treat. And don't forget to brush your teeth after!

Oh, and congratulations on your commitment to hammocking!

Welcome to HF and out of the shadows!

Welcome. Sounds like you're well on you way to an addiction!

"food, water, and Glenlivet"

Your the guy I don't mind bumping into in the woods.
