It also will be of GREAT benefit if you check out Shug's video's....(they should really be like a background check of sorts, can't hang until you sign off on them

Yeah I've been watching a lot of Shug's videos, actually what directed me to HF.

So in order to save some money and hassle I was thinking about starting with a Byer Traveller Lite Hammock or a Grand Trunk Ultralight Hammock instead. Does anyone have any experience with either of these and can point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I bought my wife this one a few weeks ago and she LOVES it. I got it at Academy Sports. With a 375 lb capacity how can you go wrong?
