    Smile FINISHED - See my wonkey tree climbing hammock...

    I used to be an extreme perfectionist. Now I only strive for perfection where it really counts. In other words, my design for this hammock worked perfectly but my stitching looks like beef stew vomit .

    This pad is basically a giant upgrade from my last DIY hammock. It is a four point hammock that gives me huge amounts of flexibility for setting it up on tree climbing adventures. The main changes from my last hammock is an added pad sleeve and reiforced critical points. The difference is night and day from the original verion. I still have to buy some velcro for the end flap but otherwise it is sooo comfy!

    I will be taking it up into the canopy next week and doing a full video/picture review at that time. Until then:

    Whoa, that hammock is massive! Fit the whole family in it!
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness.
