You are not an official hammock hanger until you have watched all of Shug's videos

Did not think of it when I wrote it but rule # 12 is a catch 22, as Shug is always coming out with new videos, one is always having to requalify to be a hammock hannger

Maybe we will need to come up with an official hammock hanger certification program with different certification levels like scuba diving; such as local hanger, group hanger, cave hanger, cold weather hanger, multi country hanger, diy hanger, back yard hanger.... the possibilities go on and on

Sounds like a great idea. I'd qualify for backyard hanger, but there are no pics... so it hasn't happened. I don't wanna take pics with a hammock that's not mine... Can't wait til I get my own.

Shug could be the "Official" hammock hangin' instructor.
