As sort of an off shoot of the " how did Hammock Forums start Grandpa? " topic. And I was curious about myself.
I first started questioning about hammocks around Jan of 04, finally Feb of 06 Hammock Engineer came over & let me test hang his HH, 3/3/06 I took delivery of my first camping hammock: a Bayer mosquito traveller, & I was hooked. Which is odd because I never did get the hang of the Bayer right. I now think I could, but the Bayer is now assorted stuff sacks & accessory cord. Yet, I have never once looked back, & now a hammock is my primary bed, at home & even at work.
SO, I have been hanging for almost 3 years. Much less I am sure than many here, but still it may be fun to know how long everyone has been "Swinging from the trees".
On a personal note: I wish I hadn't put it off for so long! It took over 2 years from interest to exicution, 2 years I could have been camping in comfort. No excuses, I just kept putting it off, after all, "I had a perfectly good backpacking tent & had been sleeping on the ground nearly 50 years, so why change now?"
