After going through the "Off Brand" thread and ordering a couple of the off brand hammocks, Dutch posted that paypal made it too easy and he thinks he has a problem. Dutch I am with you. I think I have a problem. I have a couple on the way already, with one of those reserved for myself. But here I am wondering if maybe just maybe I should pick up another one, just to have a spare laying around. Nevermind the two Eno hammocks, the old military style jungle hammock, the 6 yards of ripstop I am trying to turn into a double layer hammock,3 yards of ripstop for a single layer, and the three Kallisto travel hammocks. And I don't even have the expensive hammocks that I drool about.
So what is it? I have a kayak. A kayak. One kayak. It's a Hobie Outback and I have it set up to the hilt. Fishfinder, sail, outrigger, anchor, sea anchor, faster pedals, etc.. I don't sit around wondering if I should have another, or even a backup laying around. I ride motorcycles, and while the new ones are nice, I am happy with my 8 year old motorcycle. I am really happy with it. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
But, by the end of today, it looks like I could potentially have about 5 more hammocks laying around than people living in the house. And I still want/obsess about at least 4 of the commercially available setups on the market right now. It's not like I can sleep in more than one at a time anyway. In fact, so far only my daughter has even tried one. Last camping trip hers was on the tree while she slept in the truck. I am picking up hammocks for the kids like they are as interested as I am, and that might not be the case. Same with my wife. She hasn't been out camping yet this year due to her schedule, and is not even sure she will like hammock sleeping (although I doubt it). What am I going to do with all of these hammocks. What do you guys do with all of these hammocks? It's like storing up nuts for the winter.
I guess if I lose my job, I wouldn't be truly homeless (as long as there's a few trees around), and can stop joking about living out of a cardboard box, since I would be swinging it. How about the modern world collapsing onto itself. I am prepared to tuff it out in the wilderness. Well, just a few more hammocks and I am ready.
What about: Pre-Apocalyptic Noacheewhenwakee Syndrome.
