The other night I was watching the TV with my family, and I paused the picture on a forest scene. My son (who has hung with me) asks what I am looking at. My daughter (who has never hung out) replies, he's checking out those trees to see which would be good for haning.
She was dead on. That's my girl!

You meet a girl in a bar.... take her back to your place....get naked... She sez "Oh my you're well hung" You think "When did I tell her about my Hammock?"
And that is your last thought just before the fry pan hits .... momma no like papa bringing home strays .....

when you almost have as many hammocks as tents!!
when you spend hours watching YouTube videos made by Shug, Hammock Professor etc. etc.
When you thought you were going to sell your BWDD 4-season rectangular tarp because you got a MacCat Deluxe.
when you have to call the kid next door to loosen the bottom screws of your Vario hammock stand so you can fit the brand new, bright RED, huge Brazilian hammock that arrived last night!! (I asked my son for this for mother's/birthday. Sweet).
When you look in the drawer and say, "Gee, I don't remember ordering two tarp ridgelines>"
When you buy Dutch clips, night-ize products etc. because everyone is raving about them and they might come in handy one day.
When you buy grosgrain ribbon in different sizes/colors because it's in stock.
when you find some dear soul who will put all of these hysterical posts into one "book" that can be added to later. I have been roaring out loud.
when you drive 20 some miles just to check the fabric section at a different WallyWorld
when the wife sees you looking at some aluminum cannned item in the store and says "what kind of stove will you make out of that?"
when someone makes a HF post that Hancock is having a ripstop sale and you go check your stock to see how much more you need
when the group buy box of Amsteel is delivered and she chides "you have a rope fetish" and it's not untrue
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

+1 to that one and good to see your post Tim. Is the little guy ready to start hiking yet?Originally Posted by timabababaluka
We find out the 2nd week in July (if he doesn't hurry, he'll have to crawl).
...when you uncoil your mule tape, recoil it, uncoil it again, and recoil it--just because you like the way it feels.
...when you perform the above action on a weekly basis.
...when the Missus has to say "put down the mule tape and come to bed, or sleep out in the garage!"
...when you opt to sleep inside with the Missus only because she hid your hammock(s).
...when you start hiding hammocks around the house and garage to take away the Missus' leverage.
You're gonna need a bigger hammock
and you ponder her statement...
...when you write letters to major hotel chains explaining the virtues of installing hammock hooks in their rooms.
Trust nobody!
When your wife asks questions about Griz, Shug, and Cannibal and she's never been on hammock forums or you tube.
