    Hello from SWVA

    Hello to all, Just recently joined to learn more about hammocks and to start some of my own DIY projects and to learn what gear is good and what is not. I live in extreme southwest Virginia, about an hour north of Bristol, small town by the name of Clintwood. Recently completed the Birch Knob section of the Pine Mountain Trail and was a tent camper until a few friends had hammocks and introduced me to them.. Hope to learn a lot from you guys and gals, and maybe teach some of you a few things!!

    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."
