    MLD not just for ground dwellers

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to say some good things about a cottage company. Mountain Laurel Designs is not mentioned on this forum much but I have to say they are great. Ron Bell makes some awesome gear for ground dwellers and hammockers. I writing this because he really helped me out and this is probably the best way to pay him back. If you get a chance and you never heard of MLD check them out at http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/index.php The gear is top notch and he stand behind his stuff. Thanks Ron keep up the good work

    Ya I have "known" Ron for about 7 years now...he does make great gear.

    This is also an indicator of how fast a trend hammocking is becoming. Places like BPL. MLD. ZPaks and the like used to only cater to U.L. ground dwellers such as I was. But now they have started to carry hammock type items and accessories (Save for BPL but they have a hammock section within their forum structure.)

    I think it is great that not only are they away of the hammocking/backpacking trend movement but are smart enough, and willing enough to assist us on our quest via their U.L. philosophy....

    Heck I remember when BPL debuted one of the first JRB quilts as the next big thing in U.L. sleep systems...man that was a fun wave to ride back then

    Ok I'll shut up now....sorry
    I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.
