    might want to take a close look to see if she's been scuffed.
    That was the first thing I asked once I figured out my legs were still working. "What broke?" I thought maybe the line running to the rings, but she didn't let me down. Still in ship shape although my quilts are getting a wee bit ripe.

    Cannibal,

    I talked to Nest tonight. He says since it wasn't the hammock but the rafter, that you guys will just split the pizza!

    He's working on the other bet - just wanted you to know!

    That sucks. I only hung in the shelters a few times. I was always really paramoded about that. I only felt ok in the really old ones where the roof was supported by old logs length wise in the shelter. You'll see them farther north.

    I hope everything works out in the end for you. Let me know if you need anything. I would read your TJ, but I'm not ready to read any yet.

    Since you are ok, I can say this is hilarious!

    I have hung from a shelter once, but hung from the main roof support so there wasn't a chance of it coming down. I talked to a guy who was in the shelter when it happened. He said you just crumpled to the floor in your hammock and made an awful unhuman sound. I tried to get him to make the sound for me but he wouldn't. The second bet is halfway done. See everyone at Hot Springs.

    just get him lickored up. Well, not you Slowhike, wouldn't do you being moderator, dry, and all. Some HF degenerate. I'm thinking Hooch. When we were hanging at RRG he was talking on his cell phone with some woman from work about going out for beers, at 3 a.m.!!!

    Truth. Mule, HC4U and Cerberus a.k.a Nest will verify.
