Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
Great job!!! I got my family when I ordered two hennessy's for Christmas and got two of the cub versions for free. Then showed how many more short trips we could be doing, with some light weight camp traveling, especially when the TDI gets 50mpg with everything fitting inside. The wife and I are big history/old architecture fanatics. This has made traveling amazing, cheap, and a lot more often.
The Sluggard's craving will be the death of him, for his hands refuse to work.
When I wanted to get into hanging, I knew the secret was to get the wife on board so I ordered her a BB for her B'day. Long story short, she got it before her B'day, got in it, promptly fell asleep, woke up and said this is soft, can we take it on our next camping trip. I knew she was hooked.
From talking to Granny Pat at a hang I believer her husband is slightly claustrophobic which is a reason many folks do not like hammocks so for him to evern try it is a major step.
Even he doesn't convert to the dark side, at least he is giving it a try which is all we can ask.
Maybe he will need a wide hammock with a seperate bug net so he does not feel confined.
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
Usually it's the other way around, congrats on the conversion. My son and I are working on converting my wife

Yes, to the corner with youOriginally Posted by shrineclown
Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!
The pad between the layers holding the hammock open helped alot. He may never be able to have a bug net, and only hang when bugs are minimal.
Loki, I got a bigger backpack and some lighter gear, so I will have to be my own sherpa.
Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!
Moving to corner, waiting for shoe to hit.Yes, to the corner with you
If it moves, you can eat it. No promises you will think it tastes good.
Congrats Granny Pat. My husband is more into hammock camping now that I got the vertex. He loves being able to sleep in the same hammock with me. He also loves his HH Safari bottom entry. Says he can get in and out of it much easier.

I haven't gotten him to sleep in it overnight, but a nap was progress!
Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!
Tell him, I am looking forward to seeing him at the next hang! But I dont know how you are going to get all that gear on that motorcycle.
Best wishes: Lump
