FL - Hammock Seminar

[flkpm]

You ever make your way over into the panhandle

[JaxHiker]

I could be convinced. Where?

[Curlee]

Looks like a great event. Have you thought about filming it and posting on YouTube

[JaxHiker]

I'd have to look at the logistics (multiple cameras/operators, audio recording, etc). It also runs about 2 hours. I guess I could break down each portion. I'll give it some thought though. Thanks for the suggestion m

Seminar is tonight. Be there or be square!

The seminar went off tonight. Not really without a hitch, though.

While demo'ing the Ridgerunner I added a new knotty mod. Only it was a knot on my head when both of my stands broke (one leg each). I hit the ground, wood and top rail went flying. I'm now sporting a nice lump on my head. I'm just grateful that I wasn't laying down when the legs snapped or my face would've been crushed by the rail slamming into it. Fortunately my head is hard.

Many thanks to LilRicky for making the trip from Orlando to join us and he and SkunkApe for helping after the failure. I was still able to show off the tarps and insulation thanks to several of the guys lending a hand. I honestly would've had a hard time finishing otherwise. So thank you very much guys.

For those that missed it I'm making some progress of adding a Central FL date which is TBD. Stay tuned.

Off to pop some Advil.

And no one was filming it. Doh! Glad you were ok. I haven't done a CPR class in years. LOL

[JaxHiker]

Dude, you have NO idea how glad I was it hit the top of my head and not my face. And yes, I really wish I had it on video. I bet it was something to witness. Thanks again for jumping right in and lending a hand. Greatly appreciated.

[SkunkApe]

I assumed you were just demonstrating what happens when you hang your hammock with too shallow an angle. 0_o. Ha.
It was a great seminar. I hole you do more. I would love to have a meet-up in Jacksonville sometime also.

[JaxHiker]

Hmm, did I mention the 30 deg before or after the collapse? I do believe I said I was a trained professional immediately before. That'll learn me.

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. As long as people keep hosting me I'll keep doing them. Central FL is in the works. If I can get some contacts for the Panhandle I'll head west young man. Not opposed to heading south either.

The Rat has been on me to meet at Cary or someplace. We need to touch base especially with it getting cooler. Still bummed you missed it last year.
