What's up with this new guy from Washington??

Welcome. I'm in Washington state as well. We were all new to this forum and hanging at one time, don't stress that out.

There are a lot of friendly people and good advice here. Enjoy!

Thanks for those! That would have been something I would have struggled with for a while.

I've already watched some of Shug's videos. I wasn't too sure about him at first, but I discovered that he pretty much knows what he's talking about.

I appreciate your hummer!! It's alot like stuff I would to to entertain myself

I watched your videos for noobs and now I feel like I need to make a bunch of stuff to be as comfortable as you are.

Cheezeits!! I was freezing my.......well I was shivering in my hammock the first night I tried it. I had no idea what I was doing and I had my tarp set up to catch all the wind off the river (didn't know that until that night) and all I had for a under padding was a wool blanket which was a little too low I discovered.

I learned me lots after watching your noobs videos.

Got to put some gas in it.....uumm hhmm.
