I have a problem...

For the past years I have often welcomed new members to HF with the phrase, "welcome to the addiction." I suppose it is time for me to come clean and admit that I do have a problem. It has come to that point in time where I realize I have too many hammocks. Yes, I heard those gasps and shrieks of "blasphemy". But please hear out my admission.

While cleaning out my gear room and swapping out gear for the change in seasons I opened my hammock bin. I found a hammock I didn't even know I had. I had never even used it. So last night I went to my campsite, made a fire and slept in it. I didn't care for it. It wasn't terrible, but I came to realize there is a reason why all those hammocks of mine stay in that bin and I only use my one go-to hammock. So here I am with a bin full of hammocks I do not use and I won't part with a single one of them. In my mind I justify keeping them for a variety of reasons. Yeah, sometimes I do loan them out. But in reality most of them just sit there in storage. So, yeah, I have a problem. I am worried now about opening the bin full of cook pots.

I guess if you would like to loan a couple out to me so I can give them a trial run to see if I like them you can just send me a pm and we could arrange something. Maybe you should open your stove storage first, to be honest I am looking for a stove.

Dang, I have a bin full of stoves too. Thanks for the reminder. At least for those, I do use more than 1.

Sounds like a good problem to have man.....

The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. ;-)

I look at it like this. In order to be as helpful as possible to other HF members, I have to have a bin full of unused hammocks, related suspensions and components. That way I can always find one close to what someone is asking about and pull it out as a refresher to be able to best answer the question.

Or....maybe I just have a problem too.

I admit nothing !!!

You only have a problem if you go to a 12 step program.

I too have more hammocks and stoves than any 4 campers need. My claim is that I am testing in the name of science and I intend to stick to that claim!
