Yeah, I was stuck in a meeting all day today when mine came. Didn't get home till 6:30, but it is hanging now and I am getting ready to spend the night in it!!!
Sorry, I am not trying to rub it...
My first hammock came in today! A BB 1.1 DL. The MacCat Deluxe hasn't made it yet so I had to set it up on the porch tonight. I have notified my wife that I do not expect to need my side of the bed...
Yeah, just hang in there. I just ordered a tarp from him (about two weeks ago) and he and I have emailed back an forth a couple of times. Sometimes it took him a couple of days to get back to me, but...
Great site Brandon. I feel a bit nostalgic since I ordered when you had the old site up...two weeks ago. :-)
Can't wait to get the hammock...hopefully tomorrow!

Welcome AcidHawk! Great story. Can't wait to see pics of the DIY stuff. I am trying to find a good thread injector myself...don't tell my friends (or my family). :-)

Welcome to you and your new name...

Welcome JC785! I am down in Baldwin County Alabama. I have some good friends up in Prattville. Great to have you here. I just ordered my first hammock...a WBBB 1.1 DL. I will let you know how it...
Welcome bablefish5! I have only been around here for a short while, but this place is a wealth of knowledge. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
I'm interested! I will have my new BB then and would like to give it a try. Would like to meet all the folks from HF too!

Welcome wickedwayz! I am new to the hammock thing as well. When first visited the forums I was pretty much sold on a Hennessy, but after poking around for a little while I changed my mind to a...
I am new to hanging and was wondering if there are any south Alabama (or anywhere in Alabama) hangs that may be happening soon. I am anxiously awaiting my first hammock...a WBBB 1.1 DL.
Thanks,...
Something like that. I haven't gotten mine yet (just sent the paypal payment). I emailed him what I wanted, he replied and gave me an estimate on how long it would take (1 to 2 weeks). 1 week later I...
Got mine too! My anticipation is growing.
Thanks Brandon!
Thanks Brandon. I know your busy and am not trying to rush you. Just excited about getting it. :drool:
~Chris
Waitin' on my paypal request also...can hardly wait on the BB 1.1 DL.
Welcome to HF. I am a new hanger in south Alabama (actually I am still waiting on my BB to get here so I am not hanging yet). Sounds like you have a great trip planned. Glad to have you here.
Welcome to HF! I just ordered my first hammock and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. I think this is going to be addictive.

Thanks HappyCamper! I was wondering how well it compressed. I have read reviews that go both ways. Some say it compresses really well and others say not so much (I guess satisfaction depends on...
Two things I forgot to mention...
1) I have ordered all of this stuff, but it hasn't come in yet so I haven't had a chance to test it out. I made my decisions based on product reviews and what I...
Hi CONAC! Welcome to HF. I am new to all of this as well. As a matter of fact I am in the process of getting ALL of my hiking/backpacking gear together and it is certainly a bit overwhelming. I have...
But doesn't that take the fun out of keeping each other warm at night?
TMI!!! T-M-I! Hahaha :lol:
Welcome to the HF!
I just ordered mine so I haven't actually seen it in person, but my understanding is they are not sewn together so you can put a pad or other insulation in there.
I...
Thanks! I couldn't have done it without you guys. Glad I found the forum! I think it has saved me from a few rookie mistakes I would have made. Although I'm sure I will still make a few wrong...
That doesn't sound like a bad idea...just need to find a place to park the jeep.
It is explained in this video. I just ordered mine as well (with the adjustable webbing).
Welcome! I have only been here a week and have learned more than I knew there was to learn about hanging (I think that makes sense).
Welcome to the forums!
I have zero. :(
But my WBBB is on order!!! :D
Yeah, I am a little afraid of that. ;)
Too bad Warbonnet doesn't make a hammock for two. :)
Thanks TinaLouise. The Exped is on order, but I don't have it in my hands yet. My goal with the Exped was to get something that would work for the ground and hammock. When my wife is with me I will...
I am completely new to this hammock thing and wanted to start off right. I have been hanging around the forums for a few days and have looked for everything I could find on the best hammock to go...
Welcome UCMWINGS. I have a lot of family in Greeneville TN. I love coming up there, beautiful area. Of course, I live in south AL so anything with more than a small hill is a nice change for me.

Welcome to the forum Pepper. I am new to all of this as well and am trying to find the best option for getting started. I looked a lot at the Hennessy Hammocks as well and really like them. Another...
Thanks a lot guys. Great to meet all of you. I am excited about trying this hammock thing out. I'm surprised that so many of you are familiar with this area. I look forward to talking more with you...
Thanks guys. I appreciate all of the advice. I will keep my eyes open for an older machine. I don't know of any shops that would have them around here, but I saw some on craigslist and I will talk to...
Hey folks. I am thinking of getting started as a DIYer. I am looking around for a cheap way to get started. I was wondering if you guys could recommend an inexpensive sewing machine that will do the...
I'm completely new to all this. I am on a quest to gear up for hiking and while I was looking for a pack/tent/bag/etc. someone mentioned hanging to me. I found the concept intriguing and have been...
