    Newbie from TX

    Hey ya'll, newbie here. Caught Shug's vids and got hooked. Been hanging in the backyard for years and now I got the itch to do more. Have several canvas, cotton and nylon hammocks. After keeping up with the DIY threads, I put together a longer DIY gathered end hammock with a ridgeline to see if I could get a flatter lay than my ENO. It worked out pretty good. Gonna order a Dutch suspension system to get away from from Slap straps and rope. It just been awesome the amount of information available in forums. Hope to get a WBBB one day.
