    Western Australia hang

    Had a hang overlooking Perth city in the distance. My BIL and I lit a fire and watched the sun dip behind the city. Then cooked over an open fire and tested my gransfors bruks hatchets.. So sharp!
    It was a cool night and a full moon casting a bright spotlight out. Beautiful.

    Waiting for my new hammock to arrive so I can have an excuse to hang again this weekend.
    Happy hanging all!

    You can't go wrong with Gransfors Bruks. They make fantastic axes and hatchets.

    Nice photo, thanks for sharing.

    Thanks SkyPainter. I'm planning on another hang this weekend and I'll take some more pics.
    Just received my new hammock from Tiergear - SimonMc. Man it is nice. He also made one for my fiance which she is excited about. Pics soon
