    help with all the abreveations

    I am picking up on the lingo but not all the abbr. I'm figuring them out slowly but can I get a little orphan annie decoder ring or do I have to drink three gallons of ovaltine first? you could put some kind of key code for common words and phrases, like the urban dictionary but for "hammonics". hay, can I trademark that? Now that I read this back it should be posted in feedback.

    Diz, go to forums, and articles, the glossary is there.

    There is a glossary thread somewhere on this site that has a fairly extensive list of the acronyms and their meanings. I will start you off with few of the more common ones.

    WBBB DL = WarBonnet BlackBird Dual Layer Hammock
    WS = whoopie sling
    CRL = continuous ridge line
    SRL = structural ridge line
    TQ = top quilt
    UQ = under quilt
    IX = insultex
    JRB = Jacks R Better (hammock gear maker)
    HHSS = Hennesey Hammocks Super Shelter.

    If someone doesn't chime in with a link to the glossary thread, ask which acronyms are stumping you and we will help you out as best we can.

    Cheers

    Brian

    My sig has links to both the Glossary and Acronym list.
