New Hammock Camping Book Sneak Peek - The Ultimate Hang - (and how to get one, free!)

[Pipsissewa]

Boy, you go away for ONE day and look what you miss!! I REALLY like this book. I'm psyched about its publication. Congrats, Dejoha and thanks for the fun give-away!

My Ultimate hangs, so far. This one. Nothing special about the hammock setup BUT it was model airplane flying all day and into the night followed by campfire with a bunch of friends late into the morning followed by comfy sleeping like I was at home. Then I got up and did it again.



And then this one. Kinda a low hang thanks to using a Hammock stand BUT it was where I was hanging. The EAA expo at Oshkosh, WI from Wednesday through Sunday.



Sure, anybody can go string up between a couple trees in the woods. But you don't have to be stuck to driving somewhere to an event and live in an uncomfortable hotel/motel with bed bugs and 'fluids' and lord knows what else with a meth lab on one side and a 'business' gal on the other(yeah, I'm cheap).

I believe my Hammock Stand Tarp Standoffs construction are in my Gallery here. If it helps with your effort feel free to use it. Texsport Padre Island Hammock Stand and mods


I liked you on Facebook. The new Facebook same as the old Facebook to me. I'm not that involved on it. Just keep track of my Grand-daughter on it.

Thanks Mr. Clean! Great pics and I love the stories.

You guys are sure making me work hard keeping up with this list. Thanks!

Thanks Grtz!

I just met a gal from the Netherlands the other day here in Flagstaff. We were talking about the great bicycle training program you have with the elementary children.

I should have some good distribution options. I'll be able to post more one I get into the publishing cycle next month. I'm waist deep in peer editing right now and hope to wrap that up by the end of the month.

Slowhike -- those are great pics! May I have permission to cross-post them on the Ultimate Hang website?

Certainly. Glad you like them

Looks like a good book. The illustrations have a very "Mike Clelland" look to them. I like that, makes for a very enjoyable read.

Thanks Jerry! Mike's an inspiration. I own most of his books and love his style. I won't claim to be as quirky as Mike's illustrations -- my book is more instructional, although the pen-and-ink "cartoon" style is fun and lends itself to some humor.

When I sat down to do this book, I wanted to have something that would be fun to look at and review time and time again, like I do with Mike's illustrations. Ironically, some of his books I haven't actually "read" all the way, in part because the illustrations cover so much ground. While I hope people will enjoy reading my book, I think it will be the illustrations that really help readers understand the concepts.

If my book contained only illustrations I think it would be printed now, but I'm spending far longer on getting the text right. Lots of editing, re-writing, fact checking, etc. I've got a great group of peer editors right now who are finalizing their reviews.

I'm looking forward to getting a few copies - one to keep and a couple to have in my troop's library! Looks to be awesome! (Have I used enough !!!'s yet?)

Thanks, My camp shoes but actually those are the old Waldies(A better shoe than Crocks). they're made by Walden Kayak out of recycled kayaks when this style was made.

I still have my Waldies. They are a lot better than the crocs for comfort
