Touche sir. Well said...unfortunately. I refuse to add all mine up. I know it's a lot but I just don't care. However, has anyone priced a good therapist lately? Nothing good is ever cheap. Whether it's hammocks or therapy.

well now if a therapist had a outside office, with a hammock, then maybe i'd go, but wait isnt that like a group hang?? group therapy? hmmm maybe that would be just reason for a monthly hang????? How could the family say no to therapy???

When you go to a therapist you walk out of their office feeling better, but have nothing tangible you can hold in your hand to account for the money you spent.
You buy hammock gear, you have something tangible, you hang and you feel better, and you have a gear room full of gear that continues to make you very happy.

I just finished "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed. I'm a little sad now. She finished her hike and yanked me back off the trail with her. Although, I WAS in the middle of reading "The Last Englishman" which is also set on the PCT, so I can just hike it again with him.

I might try to get out for some therapy later today.

My wife and I read "Wild" together. Great read, I can relate to the sadness of it ending. I still am amazed at the thought of buying all my stuff and showing up at a trailhead with it still packaged. She is truly amazing.
