Is the Hoosier Hang still on? Doesn't seem to be much interest ...
Dan,
don't forget, I had 6 feet between attachment points to work with ..................
Material? I started with a 5x7 "blue" tarp, 5' 4" wide X 7' 6" long, due to cost (Harbor Freight = less than $3)
That is when I discovered the "foot box" with a trial hammock. Yipeeeeee

I know the Bridge Walk is expensive, for me at least, but I figure it is a "one and done" experience.

Hangers,
Has anyone hiked the New River Gorge south of the bridge? If you haven't would you want to?
