    Thanks for sharing, great videos. I have hiked these same trails, tough hiking, but great views.

    Nice job on the videos S&S.
    I don't think I could take all those snakes on the trails !
    Did you end up walking around the rattler that wouldn't move?
    You do a great job of narrating the trip along the way.

    I am no expert but your hammock seems skinny to me.
    Then again I read where some people like shorter/narrower ones, so who knows.
    It does take some time to get dialed in - so my advice is to practice more.

    BTW.. here's the skinny on embedding..

    Thank you all for your words and for watching!

    I did end up just walking around that one on the trail. I tossed stick near his tail and he never moved. Oh well.

    Skinny? Could be. I'm pretty new to hammock hanging but I think I made it to general specks.... Can't recall exactly how wide. Maybe 42"?

    Thanks for the embeding tips!
