Hey all,
I just have to share with my fellow hammockers this frustration of mine. My family and friends don't seem to get it.
After my ex moved out (unbeknownst to me while I was at work), I noticed that he stole a ton of my camping stuff:
water filter, compression sack I used on the AT, sleeping bag liners, sleeping pads, Crocs, my Zen MP3 music player, camp stoves and fuel, fuel bottles, nalgene bottles, camp towels, lanterns, the list goes on and on.
I hadn't considered it, because I had stored it away so well, but I discovered yesterday that his sticky fingers also got my WBBB, including my homemade snakeskins and my Dutch Clips. He also took all of my heavy-duty carabiners and my supply of Amsteel.
With unexpected medical bills and a low-paying job, I just can't recover these losses, especially before my planned spring trip on the SHT. I'll have to go back to tenting with my lone, spared Walmart sleeping pad.
This is a very angry day in the world of hammocking.
Lesson learned. I'm locking up my gear from now on and probably not dating.
Here's a photo of my poor, stolen baby. I miss her.
