found hammock gets new home

I took my girls hiking in Hocking hills state forest (not park) last weekend. While creek walking for a bit I found an eno dn in it's stuff sack caught up on a downed tree in the creek. Looked like it had been there for a month or longer due to the sediment build up inside and sun fading of the nylon stuff sack. No damage to actual hammock body itself. Figured if nothing else i could cut it up and repurpose the material. While at a job site yesterday a young Carpenter mentioned that he was going dayhiking this weekend and would like to try a hammock. Superintendent points for gifting a hammock. It may not be new but it will at least get to live life as a hammock again and hopefully show someone else the joy of being up off the ground.

Nicely done, sir!

Fly on little hammock!
