    Hanging in Wisconsin

    Well a couple weeks ago my brother was talking about getting a hammock for when he spent the the night at my house. I have 2 children 7 and 4 and they get up early and are usually making a racket around the house, like kids do. I have a nice big backyard and thought it would be perfect! Quick and easy to put up and he could sleep in as late as he wanted without the kids waking him up. Needless to say it has worked out great!

    Forward to today we're both loving our hammocks! We've used them every weekend so far and plan on a couple long weekend trips. He picked up the ENO double nest and mosquito netting, and I opted for the Grand Trunk Skeeter Beater Pro. He likes his but is considering picking up a Skeeter Beater too. I love mine! Very happy with my decision to go with the Grand Trunk. Our setups aren't perfect yet but figuring out what works and doesn't is half the fun.

    I really look forward to being a part of this community, getting and sharing info to have the best experiences possible!

    Here's our first hang in my backyard. Sorry for the crapy pic!
