    well.. I'm addicted.

    So I just recently became a hanger and I have to say I'm thoroughly hooked on the idea. I really got excited about it when I first discovered it and the excitement has remained now a month later.

    I've been sleeping in my hammock outside at least twice a week; testing gear and just enjoying the outdoors. It's just so peaceful being outside and hearing the wind in the trees and the owls and coyotes. And I have to say there really isn't any more comfortable of a way to sleep.

    This is definitely a fun hobby and I'm glad I'm able to partake in it. Now I just need to convert some friends and keep myself from buying up everything I see.

    Thanks to everybody who's responded to my questions or who has posted something that I've learned from. You guys are awesome and I hope that I can make it to a group hang sometime to meet some of you guys.

    Its only an addiction if you are trying to stop. We have group therapy sessions you can attend. They are called group hangs.

    I've quickly become addicted myself and I haven't even gotten in my hammock yet, I can only imagine how it will be once I do!

    It is a mighty fine thing to do to pass some time. And planning that next trip to the woods is a constant.
    Good stuff. Not addiction but passion)))))

    Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. I have way more hammock stuff than I could ever need, but I keep buying things for some reason. I just can't help myself
    If you ain't havin' fun, you're doin' it wrong
