    Another new guy from across the pond

    Hi, I'm from Manchester in the UK. I've been using a 10th Wonder hammock and a DD Tarp for about a year now, mainly when camping with my Scout Troop.
    After watching a few videos from Shug I'm planning on having a play with whoopie slings. Probably going to end up going over to the "dark side" of DIY hammocks and tarps eventaully too.

    Welcome from West Virginia, SilentBob! Over here we learn a lot from your side of the pond. You have different materials available, and lots of innovative hangers. Don't be totally silent. (At least post pictures.)
