    I just love epiphanies!
    My wife says camping sounds like something little boys would do. I tell her, she's right! Lol

    This is so true....no wonder we love it!
    Hiking & Hanging is therapy, and much cheaper than medication in the long run. Carry on.

    Take that a step further and you will realize that hammocks are just your own personal portable tree house. Now all we need are some rubber band guns and we will be all set.

    I like your thinking although not fully sure what the password is myself seeing as I'm a noob to.

    I so agree, at 49 and a little bit more freedom as my kids have gotten self sufficient, it is back to being a boy again. I have slept in our tree house the last two weekends, in the hammock of course.

    I say this also, thank y'all for igniting the little boy flame. My boys weren't really outdoor boys, so now I get to play outdoors. My coworkers asked "what I did last weekend" I replied slept outside. Yes puzzled looks.
