I agree so many different hammocks and set ups it really gives people different ideas for their own DIY and buying different gear, oh how i miss snow, please snow already

Come now, nothermark! I know you're kidding, but being from Rochester means you're already a EGL'er if you want! We originally went with the name EGL or Eastern Great Lakes as opposed to something more specific like the Canadian or Ontario Hammock Hangers precisely because we wanted to put political borders aside the same way the HF forums do. We're all neighbours! Our rivers all flow down to the same lakes.

So next time don't be shy. Just don't come over and buy up all of our Coffee Crisps and I promise we won't come over and buy up all of your Twinkies! (While they last alas).

Here are some pictures of my hammock. I use a Eureka Chrysalis with the original suspension swapped out. Over the summer I experimented with whoopie slings, toggles, Dutch buckles, an all in one system and finally buckles with straps. I haven’t decided which one I’ll settle on, but it’s great having options. :)
