    Are we a cult?



    I was reading Victoria Logue's 07 book*: "Hiking & Backpacking" yesterday, & on page 124 she says:

    "If you are tired of rocks & roots disturbing your sleep, a hammock may be your best option. Forget the primitive-style hammocks in which Gilligan & the Skipper slept on TV, as hammocks have gone high tech. And before you go knocking hammocks, first make sure with whom you are speaking because they have quite a cult following."

    (underline & bold are mine)


    I always wanted to join a cult, but I hate animal sacrifices & stuff

    I don't have to get a pentograph carved into my forehead now do I?!?!?!


    Anyway, in the Appendix she lists under internet resources:
    "Hammock camping (www.hikinghq.net/hammock/hammock.html)
    This site offers one experienced hammock camper's views on how to sleep comfortably in a backpacking hammock."

    Hey, Sgt Rock is world famous now!! WooHoo!!

    When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.

    No shame in animal sacrifices, as long as you eat what you kill. Animal flesh with a little char on it never did anyone any harm.

    Not yet. But we can arrange it at the Winter Hang if you like.
