I'm fairly new to hammocking. In fact, I don't even have my hammock yet. But when Paul from Arrowhead had his sale, I couldn't resist. I ordered my underquilt and some whoopie slings and the package arrived in the mail yesterday (everything looks awewome by the way). I had not yet had the dreaded conversation with SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) about what I had ordered. Of course she opened the box and was waiting for me when I got home. I'm can't say she was mad, but at the very least she was skeptical. So it took some major explaining, but I managed to smooth things over pretty well. As I tried to explain why I "had" to buy what I did, it suddenly occurred to me this was exactly like when she comes home from Kohl's and tells me how much money she SAVED! I guess I'll have to be more understanding of her shopping sprees now too, now that I have the hammock bug. She caught on pretty quick, because one of the first questions she came at me with was, "Well, how much is the rest of the set up going to cost..." I tried to be evasive and explain that once I get a hammock and tarp, then I can just add a few other little things over time All in all, it went better than I expected. Just wondered if anyone else has any good stories about the package in the mail and SWMBO.
