    Howdy From Nebraska

    Hey, ya'll. I joined a few months back and have been lurking/learning ever since. Great site! I've been doing lightweight and ultralight backpacking for years and got a little (lot!) tired of the ground. This spring I made the swtich to hammocks and haven't even pitched my brand new MSR FastStash. Been making and modifying several styles of hammocks, but really like my DIY 10' with a 6" mini spreader bar.

    I never used to throw my Z-Rest on the ground and sleep in the basement for fun, but one hammock or the other is always hung downstairs now (and increasingly occupied by other members of the household!). My wife and kids are gearing up for their first hammock trip shortly, so it's becoming a family affair.

    Other hobbies my family and I enjoy include bladesmithing, making/shooting/hunting with traditional archery tackle, living history/historical trekking, bushcrafting, fly-fishing,and kayaking. Anyway, thanks to all for a great site!

    Welcome to the forums, 4estTrekker! Sounds like you may have some things to teach us.
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Thanks, all. Looking forward to learning and getting this whole hammock thing tweaked. Seems like everyday I find something else to try, make, or (argh!) buy.

    I will extend a welcome also. Great to see more from the "Go Big Red" state.

    Cool

    Welcome! Welcome!
    Woke up this morning, and I had those Walking Blues....

    I wanna live beneath the dirt, where I'd be free from push and shove like all those swarming up above
