Is it possible to buy easily a cheap mobile phone or a chip (cheap chip...) to use it with my smartphone. This way, I could call and let you know where I will be. I will give you the new phone number also.

Comviq cash card (i dont know if it's the best, but it's very common).
Costs 250 sek and you can call/surf for the hole amount.
A call costs 0.69 sek opening fee and then 1,99 sek/min.
And of course you can refill the same card.

A common way used to be to call, but hang up before they answered,
the person on the other end knows what it's all about and calls back.

HA, oki see you in Mariefred / Åkers Styckebruk on the 22 July then

If SKAHO will go in 14-30.july date range, I would be interested to join this party.
Time to reserve some $$$, and if I'll get here, this will be my first international level hang out.

If we are lucky it will be a great group of people from all over.

About the Ergo

.

Key Features:

I am very intrigued by this hammock and i will probably get it ?
I can't help to notice that Exped is comming strong with several good products now, looking GOOD

Some things i noted while looking at the video:

You seems to be stucked with the stock tarp, it has a very special shape.
Doesnt look to comfortable to sit in it while cooking ?
A different setup system that seems to work ?
It's gonna be a outcry that they dont use tree straps
They use the same guyline tensioners on the tarp as i do
They use Snakeskins (cord keepers).
Probebly have to get use to a different spacing between the trees

Its gonna be real intresting to see how much weight you can cut on this thing
