    Go to the skunk works

    Warbonnets are made in Evergreen. WarbonnetGuy might be willing in early 2014 to demo his goods.

    Welcome to the group start reading. There are plenty of opinions on what to buy and you'll have to read and ask questions.
    Thanks,

    Make one! But before anything, read, watch more videos, read some more, and research till you get sick...

    Sounds monotonous but is really a hobby worth time. More of a lifestyle for many...

    Welcome to the forums! Do some reading. All of the cottage vendors that frequent here make excellent gear. I personally have a Warbonnet Blackbird and a Dream Hammock Roaming Gnome. I face dilemmas every time I go out trying to decide which one to take.

    Ask questions. Everyone here enjoys answering them.

    Whats man bro.. Welcome to the forums... If your really new to hammock camping I would say wait on buying one... Might make one first.. Really really easy.. You by some 1.1 -1.9 ripstop from anywhere like walmart or ebay ... The rolls normally come in at 60' wide.. And buy like 10-11 feet.. Hem the edge on both side .Gather the ends with a woopie or rope.. And bang your done! The good thing about starting this way is you get a better idea of what it is you like and dont like! At least thats what I would do if I was new and I knew everything I know now!

    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.
