    Newbie from NC

    Hi all! I'm starting to get the gear together to go camping, and figured I'd just skip the tent phase and make me a hammock. I overheard some rats talking about this site, so I came on over. Mrs Byrd has a sewing machine, so I'm off to the DIY forum for some studyin', plannin', and dreamin'!
