    I'm officially an addict

    Well, it's official now. I'm a hangaholic. I got my HH ULBPA right before Christmas, so I got a free Expedition with it, both side zips. I got the 70D hex tarp with the Backpacker, and the napkin with the Expedition. Before the hammocks arrived, I already had a full suspension replacement from JRB sitting waiting on the Backpacker. My intentions were to use it, and have the Expedition as a backup, and for a loaner. Well that obviously wasn't good enough. I just ordered a GT Nano 7 from ebay, and some whoopies, straps, and a dynaglide adjustable ridgeline from Arrowhead. I think this will end up getting a Papa Smurf open bottom bugnet, and a Warbonnet Edge in spinn. Should make for a nice light compact setup. For expected fair weather I'll use my GoLite poncho tarp instead of the Edge. Of course I can't sell my other two setups, because someone may want to use them sometime right? That's the proof that it really is an addiction.

    No you can't be a hoarder because you have the intention of loaning the other rigs out to people. If you don't lend them out, then it makes you a hammock tease!!!!!!! I prefer the term hammock conniseur (sp?) or collector......much more refined and not as labeling as ADDICT could be...............

    Hey Dave 1 week in this new "hobby" and I now have 2 hammocks Eno dbl dlx and a BB 1.7 dbl, superfly tarp and I am in the process of ordering quilts both indoor and outdoor as I am hanging full time now. Also thinking of getting a WB traveler cause I like BB better than the Eno but don't want to have to deal with the netting. So 1 week in and the gear list is getting long already.
