    Hello from Northwest Arkansas

    Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

    I've been lurking around HF for over a year, but didn't start hanging until March of 2012 when I bought my son a WBB and Superfly for his birthday. I say bought HIM a hammock, but I've been using it as much as he has, almost, and with the Fall camping season for Cub Scouts (he's a Webelos Scout and I'm Cubmaster for our Pack) coming up, we're both going to want to hang.

    So, I just pulled the trigger on a Dangerbird, and I'm looking forward to hanging with my son this fall. We'll be getting some hammock-specific insulation this year, too, probably, but so far, our ground-dwelling Thermarests and sleeping bags have been mostly sufficient for the weather we camp in (rarely below 32F) here in Arkansas and southern Missouri.

    Thanks!

    Steven

    I've also watched all of Shug's videos and read Derek's book (in addition to 100s of posts here on the forum).

    Daniel's WBB has whoopie slings and tree straps. His Superfly is held up by one of Opie's Single Line Tarp Ridge Lines with a Dutch Hook on one end and a Tarp Flyz on the other. It has softshackles in place of s-biners (though I have some of those around here somewhere, too). So easy to rig!

    Looking to use a similar rig for my DB and whatever tarp I end up getting (maybe another Superfly).
