    lurker no more

    I've been a longtime lurker and really enjoy seeing the creativity of the members here. I've incorporated a lot of great ideas I've read on the forums into my hammock setup.

    I'm in a Hennessy Expedition with a 2QZQ zipper mod. I replaced the suspension with whoopie slings and an adjustable ridgeline from Opie. For insulation, I have a JRB Nest and I'm working on my first DIY Black Cat tarp.

    Just wanted to say thanks to all for sharing so many cool ideas that lurkers like myself can learn from.

    Anyone who uses Whoopie slings has to all right.
    Welcome into the light.

    I'd hate to know what you'd say about me if you found out I'm a transplant from Louisiana. Doh!
