    Thumbs up Knotty is amazing

    I was glad to see an old thread about Knotty's bugnet come up again today, not just because it has a lot of good ideas (it does), but also because his photo of the rig shows that he builds hammocks so strong he can use them to keep firewood off the ground! See for yourself: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...tatched-Bugnet
    I hadn't thought of protecting firewood from bugs; maybe I'd better look into it.

    WV I fully agree that Knotty is amazing, as well as a super nice person. I am blessed to know him, have met him, and call him a friend! His designs and DIY gear is truly awesome, I wish I could make gear as well as him...

    That's pretty awesome! Equally awesome is WV, one smart man, saying he respects Knotty, another genius! I agree with Yoda I'm lucky to have met them both! Yoda and Silvr Surfr are high up on my list of good people as well. Just sayin.
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

    I've never had the pleasure of meeting Knotty in person, but he is one awesome dude.
    Happy Trails to one and all.
    Enjoy the outdoors wisely and elevate your perspective.
