Ryvr, wise words for a new hanger.

There is nothing wrong with standing on the backs of those who went before, nothing. I am in total agreement with you there. I stood on the backs of headchange4u, Just Jeff, angrysparrow, Coffee, the Jacks, SGT Rock, and a whole slew of others. I'm very grateful for their bad experiences being posted for me to take lessons away. Let's not forget, underquilts are still pretty cutting-edge in the hammock kingdom...and I do love my underquilts.

New hangers deserve the fruits of our labor, part of why we're here. I just don't want the new folks to get the impression that the big tarps are necessary for a pleasurable and dry experience in the woods. This one thread is here to offset some of the "go bigger" threads, nothing more. Discussion, disagreement, and arguments are just as important to advancing the hammock hobby as they are to any advancement. I just want to make sure all opinions on the matter are easily found amongst all the tarp posts. The more you know.....
