Got the chance to water test my HammockGear Cuben tarp and test some new drip strings on my WBBB. Everything worked out great and I figured I'd leave it set-up for the night. I just wonder what the neighbors think.

They are probably jealous of your great hammock stand....Quote:

I think it's great that you're out there w/your son!
Last weekend when crawling out from my "den" in the back yard I saw my neighbor staring at me like "did his wife kick him out???" Ha!! I just waved.
LoL, I would if they would hold the weight. They do make a great place to string my tarp. When I string my tarp on the hammock stand it always get alittle slack in it when I get in the hammock. This way works out much better.Quote:

I live on Nellis Air Force Base which is in a very shady part of Las Vegas. Unfortunately, even though our house is great, we are right on the edge of the housing area and have a simple 8-foot brick wall separating us from the apartment complex, I mean regional narcotics distribution center, I mean prostitution training and operations academy, I mean police employment justification complex.
It's prevented my sons and I from doing any backyard camping "trips".
On a positive note though, it's pretty cool to hear my wife say "I don't think it's safe for you and the boys to sleep in the backyard....wouldn't it be better if you head up to Mt. Charleston or Valley of Fire?"

Dude that hilarious. I remember a few years back I was TDY there for RF and while walking on the outside of that wall I found a few 9mm or maybe 380 slugs laying on the ground that had bounced off of that wall. I"m supprised you can find trees to hang from out there. (OMG don't hurt the Joshua trees)Quote:

But really, I'm jealous of that tarp; looks real sweet!
thanks for the compliment, I sure wish I had time to get to the woods.Quote:

If neighbors ask about the 6x6 timbers in my yard I usually mumble about "the ritual" this works better than a fence.
Its hard to explain to people that, yes I am an adult, and yes I did camp out in the back yard last night! I always get alot of strange looks!
Love the tarp-------have fun!
my neighbors stopped wondering about me years ago. in summer of '08 i would run out in the front yard when it started raining and set up my tarp wearing mitten, shorts and crocks (everything must pass the mitten test). i was getting ready for long hike and i guess they thought i should be committed, to my goal ).
Thats a good idea, might have to start thinking that wayQuote:
