Got Pics?

Hey guys and gals, got any really cool pics of your hammock set-up? I'm trying to put together a little binder full of various set-ups, hammocks, tarps, quilts, etc. The event I'm taking part in on June 13th here in Denver does not allow for anything to be tied to trees or staked to the ground. Bit of a problem when talking about tarps.

Since the booth will be there to explain why hammock camping is so much better than ground sleeping I think it's important to show what I'm talking about. I've got lots of pics of my stuff, but I'd like to see some other perspectives represented in the 'album'.

I know I could go around and scrape pics out of the gallery, but I feel dirty taking someone else's pic without permission. So I'm putting out a call. If you're interested, email me your favorite hammock pic(s). A brief description of the set-up and location would be sweet, but not required. I will give credit to the owner of the pic. This is not, repeat, not for a published anything. My idea is just a large 3-ring binder that folks can look through while they are standing at the booth. Give me some pics that make people go "Holy blank, that's nuts!"

Obviously, family rated photos only please. :D Thanks in advance for your help!

OK, another item. Please let me know what your username is on the forums when you send me the pics. So far, I know who you are that have sent me pics (talk about fast), but I'm certain there are a few of you whose real names are still a mystery to me.

I'm thinking the members of the forum will have a couple. Might crash your email.

Nah, gmail rules!
I'm getting some really good pics! Keep em coming.

Sent one your way!

That's a cool pic! You should post it here if you haven't already. Very artistic. :shades:

Secretly I think you just wanted everyone's pics and email addresses!!! ;)

I've met too many of the folks on this forum to want a pic of them. :lol::scared::lol:

cool, I have some pics of my Henry Shire tarp tent that I can send you surviving a hail storm at 11,000 feet :cool:

That will work!
I can organize the album into a kind of 'evolution' theme. Sleeping in caves, then out in the open, then in tents/tarptents, then the pinnacle...hammocks. :D

There are some very good pics coming from this forum! I think I've already got all but a couple of the major hammock makers covered. Interesting to have them all in one place and look at all the different preferences among the group. Everybody's set-up is just a little bit different from the other one with the same gear. Very cool.

Maybe you could post the "Album" as a Picasa album, or create an album here on HF once you get it categorized. That would be neat to see.

I'm definitely leaning in that direction. It's fun just going through them and filing them.

Don't close it too soon. I'll send you a few this weekend when I get back.

Plenty of time. I'll probably wait till the 9th or so to start printing everything out and putting in a binder.

Yeah, I'm sure you have tons of WBBB pics already - but do you have any camo BB pics yet? I may sneak out sometime this weekend to do an overnighter, and have a cool spot in mind if it works out.

Feel free to grab my pic of my hotel room hang out of my gallery as well, or if you need me to send it let me know. That would be a great one to include.

Cool, I'll pull the hotel hang pic. I'll go ahead and make it an anonymous contribution just in case the hotel manager is in Denver visiting family or something. :lol:

Feel free to pull stuff from my gallery.

Cool, thanks!

Will do, thanks Rev!

I sent you one of my SBPro, but I also have one of the ATHH setup in my backyard in my gallery if you want to use it as well. I may go out this weekend for a little dayhike I will try get a pic of the SBPro with the ATHH as the tarp for you as well.

As many as you want to provide is fine by me! I want as many set-ups represented as possible.

All the pics you guys and gals have sent are fantastic. DeShazo even provided a few "how to not hang your hammock" shots. I must admit that a couple of them looked familiar from my own misfortunes. :laugh:

While we are on the topic of images, if there is ever a HammockForums blooper reel put together I've got a submission. One of our hangers (who will remain nameless) was camped near me at TD in a Bridge. He/she claimed to have solved the problem with the Bridge hammocks and tarps which cause the spreader bar to poke into the tarp upon entry. The solution is based on the style of entry and since my battery still had a charge, I asked for a demonstration. Well, as luck would have it, the moment he/she got into the hammock the tarp went POP! :scared::lol:

So much for showing how to be gentle with a tarp. Anyway, it's here if ever needed. :D

Stop teasing everyone, just post it already

If/when I get permission from the stunt person I will post it. Until then, I've got a promise to keep.

I just sent some more of my Clark NA using my new LEKI trek poles.

Haha, post that thing, Cannibal. I can take it.

For the record, what snapped on my tarp was a rubber washer/tensioner that shouldn't have been on the tarp ridgeline in the first place.

Cannibal, feel free to pull any of my pics also. Cool idea.

OK, since vitamaltz has called himself out, I'll try to get the video together. Work is actually work this week and I don't have much fun time, but I'll try to get it up (the video you pervs!) in the next 48.

Shameless *bump*.

I actually posted a picture of my hammock setup :mellow: on the Big South Pictures. there is a link to it in the thread I started
