    Hello from east Texas

    Just popin in for a sec. New to the hammock thing. No hammock yet, but doing the research etc.

    I am an assistant scoutmaster from the Paris Texas area. I am looking into hammocks as a more comfortable way to sleep on trips. I am a DIY guy so making my own stuff isnt out of the question. I should thank my grandmother for teaching me how to use a sewing machine 30 years ago.


    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Welcome aboard from Florida. If you have a thread injector and know how to use it you've got a good start.
