Hi all,

I know there is a lot of information on the site. I know I have seen pictures and such of how to hang hammocks. Also, what better place to go to get advice than right here at this forum.

My situation: I was asked by a very good friend of mine to do 30 minute sessions on hammock camping for our county parks camporee on 30 April, 2011. I have some ideas of how to present it in 30 minutes to get the scouts interested and I would also like to give them something to take with them. Any ideas? I have also thought about purchasing a scout hammock but need to make sure the funds will allow it (we just had our seventh child). I will be hanging several different styles of hammocks for demo's and to let the scouts try out by laying in them.

Questions:
How would you present to the scouts to get their interest?
What would you give them to take home? Flyer, pamphlet, etc.
Do you know any manufacturers that may donate a hammock for a giveaway?

Thanks for any advice you can give. After the camporee I will be sure to post pictures.
