    First hang a success, I am hooked.

    Our first trip of the year with Cub Scouts was last weekend and I left the tent at home. My hammock is known as the Cubmaster coccoon. Much to my surprise I was not shoeing kids away from it all weekend. One or two checked it out and thought it was cool. Some of the parents thought I was nuts until they laid in it. One of them almost bought a hammock from the Trading Post at camp.

    Re: First hang a success, I am hooked.

    Being fairly new to hammocks, I'm glad to see others with the same new found enthusiasm as me. In fact, I'm hanging in mine in Brown County Indiana as I write this. I also have a friends kid laying in my spare and she's never been in one. Needless to say she wants one now.
