    Greetings from Wyoming!

    Hello everyone! I'm a Long time hiker/hanger/lurker/amateur tailor aka thread injector type person. Thought I would sign up -finally- and say hello to everyone after lurking around for a long while. Just retired from the Army after 30 years ("sniff" ) and am currently settled in Wyoming near the Bighorn Mountains.
    I love making my own gear and absolutely LOVE hammocks! If I was in charge, there would be a hammock in everyone's backpack. But I'm not in charge (so says the wife), so there you have it. I hope to have some great fun online here with other like minded individuals - especially when I get snowed in! BEWARE! I have excellent lung power and can be quite long winded at times.

    Cúráte, ut valeátis!
    Vince Allen

    Thank you for your service!

    And I am jealous. You are living in one of my favorite areas of the country.

    So many great trails and places to explore there.

    Why thank you, Nodust. Wyoming/Montana are the greatest places to live in my opinion. One has to love miles of open spaces, snow in the summer and echos that go on forever. The fishing is great too!

    Welcome Vince! My 1st ever hammock trip was on a 1st week Sept. trip back to the wonderful Wind River Mtns! Froze that 1st 22F night, but got it all worked out after that. I'm about over do for a trip there, maybe next summer/early fall!

    Thanks grannypat. I was a DI at Fort Jackson for a few years long ago. Had lots of fun in the Sumter Nat'l Forest.

    Thank you, BillyBob58. Wind River Mnts are basically my back yard. Pinedale's a great place. Our nights are in the low 40's right now which is great camping weather for me. You'll have to look me up when you get out here. We have a freezer full of elk and buffalo steaks ready for the barby.
