    Intro & Not so Newbie

    I got into hanging a couple of years ago after a terrible camping experience up at Mohican in central Ohio . Everything that could go wrong did. Massive thunder storm, leaky Craig's list $30 tent, not enough ground cloth and failed air mattresses. The typical "river runs though it" on the floor of the tent. The soaked 12 year old nephew wanting to go home. My 6 yr. old catching a cold. So I stopped in at Everest Gear here in Columbus and tried a ENO Double Nest and the rest is history. I used the ENO that summer but now am an WBBB evangelist! THANKS Brandon @ http://warbonnet.com!!!
    The wife and I now sleep high and dry in our Warbonnet Blackbirds. The now 8 yr. old has his own http://hennessyhammock.com/ Scout.
    Thanks to Stormcrow @ http://hammockgear.com we use the BEST Under & Top quilts on the market, THANKS ADAM!!!!!!!

    Contact me anytime to discuss gear, tree dwelling and anything outdoors.
