How can I get my wife to hammock hang?

I second the vote to try hammocking during the day - picnic lunch, a book if she likes to read, a day when it is not cold... don't call it camping, just a long relaxing picnic.

No wonder everybody's taking a look! All the inquiring minds want to know the answer to that.

Last time someone posted this question, my favorite answer was something like, "Hang it in Hawaii."

Now she would like this. We could hang it across the cabin on the ship and she would never feel the ship moving when trying to sleep! Those pull down beds have rings attached to them that would work very well. Not sure where the steward would put the towel art though.

This is a good idea. I may have to hold off on it till next year. Up North here it is getting a little chilly. But I like it. I am gathering a lot of ammunition to use. This gives new meaning to hanging out with your wife!

There are some wives out there who wish they could get their husbands into hanging.

Hey gunner. True, and I would be interested in finding out how they would encourage their husbands to hang (?). Have a great day in NC.

My husband wasn't interested at first, I got a few different kinds of hammocks. He seemed to like the integrated bug nets. I had a HH at the time so I gave him that, that gave me a reason to get a WBBB

. We happened to be taking a trip up north at the same time the Smoke But hang was in NC. He loved meeting and talking to all the people, and seeing all the setups. That got him hooked and decided he needed an WBBB XLC. He started picking out fabrics for tarps and other projects that he wanted me to sew for him.

Hi karebear. I think the idea of attending a hang is a good one. I have one coming up and am trying to see if my wife would come for a while. That idea would be good for husbands or wives. Thanks.
