My son and I are going on a trip this summer to the BWCA. His 13th birthday is next week and we are going canoeing this weekend as a little warm up to the real thing. We have been using DIY hammocks that have worked very well. I made them last year and we have slept many nights in them. However, I just could never get the bug netting to work the way I wanted it to.
So I ordered us both a new WBBB. I've gotta tell you it's all that and a loaf of bread. Very comfortable and looks great with a bug net that fits!
So tonight we are packing and I tell him I have an early bday present for him and present him with his own WBBB. I go over all the cool features and really talk it up but notice he seems less than impressed.
After my sales pitch, he looks up at me and says "But dad, I like the one you made for me".
For just a second, I was the coolest dad ever.
Maybe a lame story, but I just had to share with someone.
BTW, we'll use the WBBB eventually. But this weekend it'll be the old DIYer's.
