Ultimatums do indeed work

We're headed to the Linville Gorge the first weekend in October so she can finally have her first real hang.

Your a lucky man!

Don't wait until October to learn what works and what doesn't. Practice hanging close to home and take notes. You can have a miserable night in a hammock too.

For those of you that are still arguing with a significant other about hammocking...just keep at it, they will convert! Attached is a pic of her in *her* BB.[/QUOTE]

Nice, and the Hammock is not bad either. ;-) We are about to take the portable cabin out for some "camping".

I will testify to that. I got pretty chilly a few nights ago. I started a thread about it.

My lady hasn't done more than afternoon reading in a hammock. I doubt I'll get her to overnight in one any time soon. I'll keep trying though.

She looks worth it, keep her happy!

If you camp at the Linville Gorge campgrounds off the Blue Ridge parkway, get the last camp site as you are leaving the campground (across from the Rangers check in station). Lots of trees to hang from. My wife and I stayed there last Oct.

Well I have the husband that refuses to convert. Mostly because he doesn't want to *sleep alone. I don't think I'll ever convince him to hang. :P

Get a hammock bliss triple its more then enough for two.

For the Gorge in October, just be sure that you have adequate insulation underneath to avoid Cold Butt Syndrome ("CBS").

She'll be using my 3S incubator and DIY down top quilt and I'll be using a 3S Phoenix and top quilt.

I'm a spoiled brat and not sharing my hammock! Seriously,,, my wife of almost 23 years will not go backpacking with me. She will drop me off, pick my smelly self up, listen to my stories, ignore me when I buy yet more gear, and anything else related but if she can't take a shower and sleep in a bed she's not going. To each their own and more for me is my reply!

Glad ya'll are heading to the Gorge with some comfy hammocks! I'm sure it will be a memorable trip for both of you!

We are in the same boat! One step farther for me though....she facilitates my passion by making me stuff to do it!!
