    Ground Dweller

    Hello,

    I live in Southern New England. Pretty much exclusively car camp with my children. I am interested in building a Hammock. Not sure what style or configuration I want to go with yet.

    I have a passion for making my own gear and equipment when ever practical. I love pushing my skills to their limits. Weather running a bead if welding wire or thread in a stitch ill do it if I can call it my own.

    A wealth of resources to wade through here so off to it.

    Cheers,
    M

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Hello and welcome to the forums from Indiana!
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Hi, and welcome from CT. The DIY section should have you busy for a while and you can always ask questions if you need help.

    Hey CamoNut,

    we are a stones throw away from each other, I'm in Westerly. Perhaps sometime I could see your setup. Are you a submariner? did I see a poncho liner in your hammock. Slept many nights with the poncho liner on a few subs.

    Gladly buy you a beer at CC's sometime.

    Cheers

    Hey, who are you? Do you know Sean?(CC owner (unless he sold it since I was there last)) I haven't been there in some time, but I used to go there often. Do you like to play Darts/Pool? Yea, we'll have to meet up(thanks for the beer offer).

    You are welcome to see my setup, and yes that is a PL. Two of them actually(1 for the UQ, 1 for the TQ, it's my 3 season rig). I plan on purchasing a 0* incubator this Fall for Winter hangs. I love Winter hanging!

    No, I am not a submariner, but I used to help build them(was an outside electrician at EB a long, long time ago) I just responded to your pm.
