    First DIY!

    My first DIY is a hammock for Gnorman, the Smokey Mountain Gnome that lives in my woods (I believe his has some troll in him too). He loves his hammock, but is already talking about changing out his suspension for whoopie slings and saving up for a WBBB 1.7. And he needs a tarp too.

    Tell him if he finds a good deal on a tarp to let me know.

    I'm thinking he could go with a WBBB 1.1! On second thought, play it safe and stay with the 1.7 to avoid an ignomenious gear failure.

    Anyone have a silnylon pillow case he can convert to a tarp?

    This is his house at Christmas. I believe that he has enough natural insulation that he won't need an underquilt for cold weather hanging.

    We had a home invasion incident where a rodent ate off his nose and surgery was required. He hangs pretty close to home now.

    Awesome. The more the merrier.
    You must first be happy with yourself before anyone else can contribute to that happiness.....
