Anyone can use the Yarrow plant. Gather leaves and flowerhead and crush, rub on clothing and skin (try a small are to determine if there is any allergic reaction first)

Funny - it isn't that I don't like the Olive Brown, its just that I did not get to see the old camo and have yet to see the new camo.

Thanks everyone

The Warbonnet Superfly only comes in Olive Brown right now, should I get it or wait for the new camo to come out

Excellent information jwallick - stay safe out there (cagers can be crazy)

When I do my budget I round everything up to the next even dollar or $10 amount (depending on how much I want to save) IE $263 is rounded up to $270 I put the difference into my next toy.

Canoefor2 - your response is exactly why I was thinking of getting the Warbonnet, for more winter type weather

I have to confess Shugs videos have taught me a considerable amount as well. He and Syntax77, thanks guys.

I have seen people use snake skins on the Hammock lines and others who have used them on the tarp lines, which do you prefer and why?

You might want to play around with one side (head or feet) being higher or lower on the tree. I like my head higher than my feet (not by too much or you will end up in a heap where your feet are), my...

Awesome, more food for thought, thank you Floridahanger for all the good info
