Ed usually schedules the April hangout in Hot Springs to coincide with Trailfest there. Trailfest is the 27-28th this year so I guess he's moving away from that tradition.

Thanks. That puts it 23-ish days out. That puts me right in the area. Maybe a little north, but we'll see.

I joined the yahoo hammock group (get on about once every week or so to lurk) about the same time I joined here. I have never seen him push his hammock or the other products he sells. If I was to buy sometype of hammock or gear it would probably be from him because of how he acts and represents himself.

Ill second that!!!!!!!!!!

Yep - Ed's definitely a classy guy. He welcomes any kind of info on his forum b/c as hammocking gains more popularity in general, even if it's not directly with his products, he'll still benefit from the overall gain (his words, paraphrased). He rarely even comments on his own products unless asked directly.

I agree with you guys. He offered last fall to help me set up my HH. I would have took him up on it, but I was still practicing setuping it up.

He did help me to pick out a great set of trees. One had the mythical 3 leaved vine on it, but that is another story. He did stop me from using the dead tree though.

Classy guy.

I'm with you too. Besides being one of the first in the hammocking field and still one of the most innovative, he's by far one of the all-around NICEST guys I've ever met. I'm really looking forward to Hot Springs.

in a recent email, he mentioned some "new" cold weather gear he's been testing.
maybe we'll get to see it soon!

You guys are going to end up talking me into going. I am setting at a 40% chance of starting March 18th and a 60% chance of April 1st. April 1st would put me really close to walking in.

Man how to other people deal with such problems.

**The Breeze** · 02-13-2007, 22:26

can't say but I think you will
