    Hi there from South Africa

    As I make kites, a friend asked can I make hammocks - I said yes before I found out what a rabbit hole this is it seems to have as many hidden tunnels as kite making, and sounds like the same type of crazy

    This whole hammock thing seems to be as deep a rabbit hole as kite flying. I've just finished reading the Turtlelady stand thread and am half way through the turtledog thread - lots of thinking to do. But I'm having to go to google pretty often to find out what the american materials are

    Welcome from Wisconsin, USA! Too true about this hobby being quite the rabbit hole.

    You won't find a more true statement anywhere on this forum! Welcome to the madness.

    Welcome KiteRob, from a Zimbo currently dangling in the UK. I totally share the materials naming dilemma coz it's not very different here either. Hammocking is like Hotel California - you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave
    Living, learning, and loving both.
