    That's totally rad, Jackleberry! What a friggin' cool little rig you fashioned!

    Okay. My report.....

    Firstly, those of you who couldn't make it this year were missed.

    Secondly, I'd like to give an extra-special thanks and shout out to Bigfoot2 for organizing the entire event. Thank you to Rip for co-organizing and getting the T-shirts and hoodies together. Thank you WWS for such an amazing and humbling experience (we can't wait to visit you again). Thanks to our incredible vendors for donating such amazing gear, gift certificates, etc., so we could help WWS. Our HF vendors are truly the best on the planet! We love you guys!! Like WAY!!



    DFab and I SO enjoyed seeing (and hangin' with) everybuggy! We celebrated River Monkee's special day in style, I'd say! We handed out a few new trailnames (Roxy Trooper, River Monkee, Indiana Jerry, etc.). And what about those meals by the creek? Wowzers. Drift Creek is an inspiring place to hang out with friends.

    Thanks for a great time, everybuggy!! We hope to see you all very soon!!

    Very cool videos and pics! Good job, guys! As always, Jackleberry's picture are amazing!

    Well, thanks to Jerry (he swapped prizes with me), I am officially an expedition member on the UK Hammocks 2015 Borneo Hammock Expedition! I could not make this years (2014), due to too many prior obligations, so Mat bumped me to next year. What a great guy and a great company! Now the hard part starts...no more ice creme for a year! Gotta' get in shape...(cue the Rocky music)...

    " UKhammocks Borneo Expedition

    The island of Borneo is home to the oldest jungle in the world, a primordial forest that was already 134 million years old when the first apes in Africa began to experiment with walking upright. This ancient environment is one of the most extreme places in the world, where sleeping off the ground is an essential element of survival.

    Few places will test your equipment and resolve like the jungle; here your hammock will become the sanctuary of your sanity, a suspended cocoon of shelter from torrential tropical downpours that threaten to wash you away and protection from the myriad of bizarre sounds that emanate incessantly from the surrounding darkness.

    This is the ultimate hammock expedition, a true “ Journey by Hammock ”

    I feel extremely privileged to be given this wonderful opportunity. Thanks, Jerry and Mat!
