    New hanger downunder

    G'day all,

    After much digging through this fantastic forum I have ordered a WBBB 1.7 double with Big Mamajumba in spinnUL and can't wait for their arrival.
    Ever since hearing that hiking hammocks exist I've wanted one (my wife thinks I have a problem).

    Anyway I look forward to hanging as you all put it and keeping in touch over this forum with how I go.

    Simon.

    Welcome to the forum. You'll be happy with your new gear and hopefully your wife will join you. This is a good site.

    Welcome to the group Simon ... and about the wife ... it's normal ... I get "the look" every time I talk hammocks, stoves, videos about hammocks and stoves ... or going to do trail work with pal Ken. It's in the fine print of your marriage license!

    g'day, Simon. Welcome aboard.

    Everyone thinks I have a problem - I'm afraid I would have one of every quilt, hammock and tarp if there were enough money to do that. But it's only a problem if you're suffering....

    Since we are talking about the southern hemisphere, would an underquilt be called a top quilt?
