    Greetings, levitators

    Well, I've just had it staring at the monitor night after night quietly reading all this stuff on HF, so...must make comment...

    Last week this old Georgia groundling ordered his first-ever hammock, a BB 1.7 single. Overwhelmed as noobs are by the information here, I'd like to say that much as I'm inclined not to understand new ideas without the ol', "what's it gonna take, a ton of bricks?" instruction method, HF is a real pleasure because ya'll take tme to 'splain things, and break it down with purty pictures and such. I get a kick out of Shug - like someone said, he ain't right.

    I hke short sections of the AT as time allows (work!).

    Everybody's so helpful and friendly - what's up with that? Don't they know this is the internet, and that there's a new order?

    I look forward to learning about all things hammocky. Tarps and UQs are on deck now. So much to discover - and it's FUN!

    The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
    while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir

    Doodad, I don't know just where in Ga. you are, but if it is anywhere near me, just send a PM, and perhaps we can get together, and possibly I can answer some questions for you, or help you find someone who can. Welcome to the wonderful world of hammocks.
