Sorry to hear of your downward spiral, Hooch. Snap out of it, before you end up like me! Maybe a 12 step program?Originally Posted by Hooch
I was so proud of myself. I've been hammocking for about 3 years now and took great pride in not accumulating a great deal of excess hammock gear. Today, I ordered a Speer 8x10 tarp, eventhough I already have a perfectly good tarp. I fear the beginning of a long downward spiral........
12 stpes from one end of the stored gear collection to the other end would make sense. Anything beyond 12 steps from end to end and you need to pile in more than one layer.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Do not despair, there are many gear junkies among us who share your affliction. But you won't find any cures around here - we're just a bunch of enablers.
You don't have a problem Hooch. I have a problem. You should see my gear closet. Yikes.

I hear good things about them. But I'm too busy buying & sorting hanging & camping gear to join.
Also: I would stop buying gear but I'm no quitter!!
When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.

UM,,,,, I am up to 12 steps to the halfway point (OK, I lied, its the 1/4 mark) of my gear "Pile". Thankfully my gear closet has shelves.
