    First hang from Toronto

    posting from my WBBB on my first hang.

    It's about 1am and close to 17C I think. No insulation at all so my backside is a bit chilly. No stakes for tieouts so I've got some Netting in my face. I'm fairly certain the foot end is too high. My hands are sticky with sap and I'm not even sure if my head is at the right end.

    But ooohhh man I could lay here all night! If I wasn't just in the walkway to my townhouse complex, I probably would too!

    I would take a shoddy dark phone picture, but I'd need to climb out first...

    Welcome to HF from TN. Love my WBBB. Mine is standard and when hanging, the shelf is on my right side and the footbox is also. Have fun learning about all this.

    welcome to Hammock Forums and hey from high point nc.
    there is a ton of stuff here to read, learn and ask about.
    if it's hammock related it's here or still waiting to be invented.
    hang on and have fun.

    home is where your hammock is.

    Enjoy your new addiction.

    Great to have more canucks here. Tired of seeing things listed for sale CONUS only.

    Just got back from my first hammock camp over the weekend. Does anyone else feel the world gently swaying when you sit still?

    yes

    hi

    As most Canadians would agree, the only good Torontonian is a hangin' Torontonian.

    And yes learning to stay upright after a good "hang" is a matter of practice.

    Congrats,

    Rocket
