Hello, My name is ___ and I have a hammock problem...

[Fibby]

Me too. I have double trouble because as soon as I get a shiney new (insert product here) for hanging/hiking, I find something else that I absolutely need for my dog and on and on and on. It's never just one purchase either. It's tons of research, a DIY attempt, more research, buy the thing online and then decide I liked the DIY the best.

I don't have a problem. I can quit anytime I want.

Wait, why are you all looking at me like that?

Honestly, I can...Really, I swear.

Last night I bought another hammock. I couldn't help myself. I knew I didn't NEED another hammock. I'm not sure that I can USE another hammock. But there it was, the Weight Weenie Micro. It was just sitting there on the internet and it was on SALE.

I tried to ignore it, really I did, but it was like it was calling to me. I've been there before, that's why I have 3 tents, 6 tarps, 3 sleeping bags, 3 backpacks and 2 other hammocks. Leaving the Forum didn't help, checking my email, my FaceBook account, I even tried actually doing some work...

But it was so easy.... a click here, a click there, enter my PayPal password and "dink" a new email message and my "payment has been received".

This addiction is insidious, I never buy gear when anyone else is around. I never have new gear sent to the house. I know I have a problem but I just lose control... My gear closet is full... I can't stop thinking about the next new shiny piece of equipment... is that a hammock sock I hear?

OK so when are you going to get to the punch line, I mean what's the problem man!?

If there is going to be meetings I can only come every other Thursday.

Meetings? Will there be a gear display?

Problem?

Oh right the first step is admitting it -- I'm not admitting anything!

Lawdawg guess we're still in denial. works for me

They only way to completely rid yourself of temptation........ is to give into it... Atleast that's my motto when it comes to outdoor gear.. Im reaching the need for a shipping container in the back yard lol..

[L.D. Cakes]

You only have a closet?!? I have a whole room dedicated to gear. But I will admit it bleeds out into the living room....and kitchen...and bedroom...

[Tinmar]

I look at it as keeping USPS, UPS, and FedEx viable.

I am not a gear head I am not a gear head I am not a gear head

My entire living room is filled with gear. Add me to the list ...
