first post - first hammock on the way

**tater** · 04-22-2009, 10:34

finally took the plunge!

just ordered my first hammock set up. Hope to do my first hang soon!

I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions. I've done a lot of reading here already, and hope to be taking part in the conversations now that I have joined the tribe.

Welcome to the forum!
Can't help but think of Ron White when I see your username. "I'm Tater Salad, this is my son Tater Tot".

that's where it came from. One of my friends seems to think I have some things in common with Ron..... well ONE said it, the rest agree

Like Scotch do ya?

Can't believe I didn't ask this before, but what hammock set-up did you select?

**tater** · 04-22-2009, 10:56

I have been known to enjoy a nice Single malt and a cigar from time to time

I ordered a Skeeter Beeter Pro, and a Fast Fly Tarp and Slap Straps from ENO.

Decided to just jump in, my buddy likes his SB so that's where I went to start. I figure this way I can figure out what I like / dislike.

I've only been camping once in the last 5 years +, due to a bad (BAD) back. I'm really hoping the hammock with let me get out camping on a regular basis.

Your back will be very happy with your decision! That was the main reason for my switch to hammocks. Never looked back.
