    Two Impluse Buys in a Week for a Noobie - I Might be Addicted

    I bought a HH Safari last Friday from another forum member at a good price and then I received a coupon for $5 this model I have been thinking about replacing my bed with, so I bought it. I must be crazy another 250 on hammocks after I spent 265 on a WBBXLC and 130 on a Superfly Last Month. So is there a Hammocks Anonymous I can join?

    Yes, help is available!! There are several meetings being held locally and nationally, just keep tabs on the upcoming events in your area and seek out their wisdom and guidance or there are books out like the "Ultimate Hang" that will help cure your irrational thoughts of being crazy
    P.S. I am up to 5 hammocks myself....

    Best answer ever. I think I need a more made up "made up" name.

    I sleep more in my DangerBird 72 than my sleep number bed. I have eyehooks across the living room so I can watch the tube, but the curtains aren't light blocking so these late sunsets pose a problem. You might find your bed neglected if you set up a hammock inside, or out.

    Just stay away from MOTORCYCLES! I just bought a 03 BMW R1150R a week ago, and outfitting it with bags and lights and this and that, new hammocks would be way cheaper. But I'm very pleased with the DangerBird72 and the bikes I have, so get what you want, you don't want to be laying in an old folks home wishing you had, or be lying about the times you didn't have...

    No Regrets! Life's too short for that.

    I've got five hammocks also and I've only been doing this since January. I'd say there's hope but I'm way past any helping....or caring.

    I bought two hammocks, a tarp, 50 ft of reflective cord, figure 9s, 15 ft of shock cord and another set of poly straps just this week. Don't tell my wife.
