First hang

**Loneoak** · 07-30-2011, 08:54

Well ya'll, I got my WBBB yesterday, while at work. Was not feeling good at all, so took off early, came home and fell to sleep right off. Did not feel good enough to even open my package from Brandon. When I woke up, a couple hrs later, I was soaked with sweat, so guess I had a pretty good fever.
Feeling a mite better this morning, so had to at least hang my BB for a proof pic. I probably don't have it hung correctly

but here's proof in the pudding so they say.
Good thing my wife was outside, helping me along. I took the hammock out and was puzzled as to how the straps worked. I forgot you had to have caribiners. Good thing I got some Dutch Clips from Fronkey

She told me, thought that was what you got the Dutch Clips for. I will be up to par soon maybe..........lol
Feel free to tell me how high the foot is

I can see in the pic, it needs to be lowered.
Mite try and hang up the Camo SF soon and get a better hang.

Felt good to finally get in it and will explore it more at a later date.

hope your feeling better , most folks seem to prefer 6-8" higher at the foot end, enjoy

Sounds like you're pretty sick if you can't open a package like that. Obviously, your feet are a little high in the picture. From my use, the big thing is to get that 30* angle off the trees with your straps. It makes a big difference over a more taut hang.

Fronkey is a she? Learn something new every day.

I have a feeling that was a typo. haha.

My typed sentence would leave you to believe he is a she but indeed he is not a she. The She part was my wife reminding me (Dutch Clips dummy). Still feverish or that is what I am claiming on this one

well I'm glad we cleared that up as that could have lead to an embarrassing PM.

I seem to always to start feeling unwell when at work and a package arrives for WB are any of the other great suppliers in the Hammock game….

The illness seems to clear up as soon as I get home….Shame not to use my spare time to check out the goodies now I’m home.
