Te-wa I hope your son doesn't forget how lucky he is to have you for his dad when he hits his teens.

Thanks for the pictures.

That's awesome brother. I have 2 young-uns. A 2 yr old and a 10 yr old. Guess I need to learn how to use my thread injector, hehe.

That is great. Couple more years and I'll have to copy your design. How does he do in his hammock all night? Just curios my youngest is 3. When did you start him?

i was just pondering the same - i have not taken him all night hanging (yet). they love to "play" camping when the hammocks are rigged in the house; I plan to rig his hammock in the house to see if he sleeps in it all night. the way this kid sleeps, I dont think he'll be losing any

he did have his own ripstop hammock but he grew so fast at age 3 that it was soon relegated to stuffed animal duty.

From my experience the problem is getting them up in the morning!

I thought we were the only ones to use the out grown hammocks for stuffed animals.

Post how he does that way we all can learn from it. Thanks a lot.

I missed out on getting my son out this year, but I am hoping (and you are inspiring me) to get him out next year. It may be easier then since he will be a "big 6 year old" then.

Wow te wa. That is an awesome little pack. I tried to make a pack similar but the adult version and it didn't turn out so great. Yours looks flawless!!

You are quite the father and that is one lucky kid! I hope you two have lots of fun exploring the wilderness together! Way too cool!
