    Greetings from yet another Michigander

    I have been poking around here for a couple weeks now, reading up on Just Jeff's page and watching Shug's videos. I made my own Whoopie Slings up and am about to get to work on my DIY Speer hammock.

    There is a lot of really helpful info on here and some great people in the community. Hopefully I will get a chance to meet some of you next summer at a hang. I look forward to sharing my projects and reading up on what all of you continue to come up with.

    I would love to, but that weekend is my first anniversary and already have plans with the wife. The winter is right out until I can get better equipped, so hopefully sometime next summer.

    Welcome from another Michigander. You will have a great time here, and making your own gear from the helpful tips is a real benefit.

    Woo Hoo!....What a Ride!
