    Red face Finally

    Well ever since I got my WBBB the only time i got to set it up, was a brief moment between the fire trucks. and that was about 10 min of hang time.

    Between work and family, I just have not had the time, or when I found the time it was way too hot out side.

    Yestersday morning the dogs had me up early walking them, I thought to myself the weather was nice so what the heck I'll head on over to my cousin's farm / family gathering place and set up this way when I do get to go somewhere I am not learning when i get there.

    I got set up I had installed whoopie slings on the BB, and made a continuos ridgeline for my Kelty Noah 12. After I set up it hit me like a ton of bricks, (NO I KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLACKBIRD) Duhhhhhhh for me .

    I might have had to much space between the trees, cause my hammock ridgeline was real tight.

    But at least I learned.

    Ill post up a few pictures but will have to do it from my phone as we aren't allowed to access photobucket at work.

    I still have yet to have my 'finally' moment this season. Both work and home have been crushing on the time but hoping there's a payoff soon enough.

    Sure is, it is close to home but one of my favorite spots to go for a quick quiet time.

    the red x is my hanging spot.
