    I applaud you for your selfless finishing of the instruction video. Most new hangers may never know how much your heart broke with Green Bean.

    We all feel the loss with you. Thanks for your devotion to helping others with your talents. God Speed Green Bean. And clean your feet before you climb into the next generation.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    Feels just like losing a really famous relative, that you'd never met, but always admired.

    Hey Shug. Thank you for that

    I just kept moving forward just like in training....keep moving forward. It hurt though.

    My Hard-Core Man-Up No-Lace Panties Video Seminar paid off. See it through. Tell the tale. There is time to lament the loss tonight. More ripstop ordered and GreenBean will be cloned.

    Well as they say it was time, to pass in service to others, a mighty dignified way to go..so as we await your recovery from loss and and grieving, may we ask if you thus record ( for the record so to speak ) the Shug making of a hammock? Complete with the whipping and Ridgeline? ? So that may the young ones who follow both appreciate and acknowledge the simple elegance of a green bean?

    Time for a naming contest...will the clone be GreenBean 2, Son of GreenBean, or perhaps even Judia Verde? My condolences.

    Sorry to hear about your Greenbean. I'm having a talk with all my hammocks to warn them of their eventual demise.

    Sorry to hear of Green Bean's fateful demise.

    Together, the both of you caused countless hundreds, nay possible thousands, of hammock hangers to believe that with a bit of learning, creativity and manipulation, we too could be well hung.

    A "Tip-O-The Hat" to ya' both.
    I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I stay here.


    When I see lovers' names carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I think it's strange how so many people take knives on a date.

    hehe sorry for your loss Shug. But it was good that GreenBean had filled out it's organ donor card and some new bags will be born out of this tragedy

    Man just think as bad as this is it could had been worse. She could have gave up the ghost on the trail and you would have to go to the ground!!!!

    I thought I felt a great disturbance in The Force yesterday, now I know why. Do preserve Green Bean in its persent form, it truly is a relic and talisman of the past, one of the few things we as a community can point to as part of our own hammock journey. A glass case, a place on the wall, a couple of Eternal UCO Candles, one on either side, set in candle sticks made of empty Medaglia D'Oro jars------
