Thought I would finally say hi after spending hundreds(?) of hours reading through the different forums. Always been an outdoor person and loved camping (tent) but had never even laid in a hammock.
I got bit by the alcohol stove DIY addiction and during some of my searches for information on that, I came across Shug"s videos on youtube. Since then, my wife and son think I have had some type of mental break! I am teaching myself to sew, I have made my first DIY hammock, whoopie slings, bug net, and tarp (kind of). I am a full convert! Best nights sleep I have ever had in the woods.
My wife fell out laughing when I told her "I really liked the sound of the "thread injector", it is very relaxing."
I have enjoyed learning from this forum and wanted to say thanks to everyone that contributes but especially to Sgt. Rock, Shug, Just Jeff.
I will be sewing my son's hammock soon and plan to making one for my nephew for Christmas.
I got the DIY bug REAL BAD!
Anyway, hi to all and happy hanging!
