Daughter's First Hang

[VAHanger]

... first time camping (beyond sleeping in the backyard), too.

Picked up a WBBB 1.0 DL in the hopes my daughter (age 7) would want to hammock camp with me (okay... there was a bit of self-preservation involved- I was hoping we wouldn't have to sleep on the ground when we camp).

She climbed in- put her Kung Fu Panda toy, water and fleece in the gear shelf, turned on her headlamp to read her book (Call of the Wild)- and ta-da! A new hammock camper is born.

My only concern is she will never really know how good she has it. Probably should have put her in a 2 person pup tent on a hard-pan tent pad for the first few trips!

The tent in the background was our backup plan. Didn't need it.

Very nice...money well spent. Conversely....it was my daughter who introduced me to hammock camping. She wanted a Clark as a college graduation present. She's still in the Clark....I've been through four. There are six family members that are hanging so far.

That first trip in the woods with the kids makes for great memories. Looks like you had a great time.
