    This video, in one of SE's most brilliant moments of satire, brings up something I was thinking, while hanging in the back yard: What options have people implemented with poles--in my case, in the WBBB. Just one "U" across the top to open the space up. I was thinking of a foam "noodle" that my kids swim with--even a clown balloon--one of those kind carnies fold. Perhaps it's in the FAQ. What have people done in this regard that's particularly lightweight?

    What was that bird called? Looked like a Vulture. You breaking out into some opera on the Manitou River was unexpected. LOL Would have freaked out a some of the wildlife. That’s two falling trees court on Hammock Forum cam this month. You can worry about the trees, I’ll keep worrying about the bears. Love the multi colored trees. The video is another piece of Mr Shug gold!

    Great vid

    Another great video there Shug. It started out Penn and Teller-ish, with WF being so quiet in the background. I bet you probably had him laughing too much for him to say much.

    The trail looks very nice with the leaves starting to change.

    Oh yeah! Coffee, a Clif bar, and a Shug vid with plenty of color, thanks for starting my day the best way possible.....aside from actually being out in the piney woods.

    That was an amazing shot runnin to your hammocks. Overhead line teathered to you? Or maybe some o that Shugry magic! Either way that was pretty dang cool!

    I liked the trick with the camera following you both. I'll have to try that sometime.
    They're going to have to change the name of that trail from SHT to FTT (Falling Tree Trail)! Glad you guys're careful about what you tie up to. That could've been a bad night!
    Stay safe, and thanks for the ride-along.
    Well the woods is chock full of trees it seems and some just fall out.

    All those river sites from 4 on down the river are really nice. even moreso downriver........

    Just some backwoods string hillybilly camera fun. And thanks.

    I too hope you get out soon.
