    Talking Risk's back

    I'm back. I did 5 years in Texas, now back in Ohio and all excited about the AT again. I had a wonderful 4 days of great weather in the Shenandoah NP across Veteran's day and have been reading a lot since then.

    Hammock tech has changed a lot in the last few years. I have some catching up to do! I was just watching a couple YouTubes by Sgt Rock. UCRs, Dynaglide, Zingit! Man do I have a lot to catch up on.

    Welcome back Risk. Like Shug, I was inspired early on by your techniques. I still mention them when people here ask about something or other and I recall "Risk tried that years ago". Though I never did find "windbumpers described on another page".

    welcome home Risk. You're a legend in these parts. You'll be happy I think to see how much DIY ingenuity has been expressed in these forums.

    As soon as I read the title, I said to myself, " The legend has returned. "
