    Hello from SW Indiana

    Hi all,

    Total newbie here. I don't even have a hammock yet, but do own a piece of ripstop nylon from the fabric shop. I am in the research phase, and this will be a trial run on the cheap. I intend to gather the ends, hang it in the basement, and give it a shot. If I like that, out to the yard! If that works, I will seam my edges and properly gather my ends, etc... Been watching Shug and a lot of you guys on YouTube, what a great bunch! Looking forward to sharing and meeting everyone.

    Hey from NW Indiana. If you been lurking here long your already hooked. Careful in your first attempt. I'm sure you've watched enough vid's to do it safely without sewing anything. I've got a piece of Southern IN. North of Tell City. Love it down there. Hunter

    I'm afraid you're right about getting hooked, what a trove of information, cool ideas, and friendly people. I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

    You are about an hour and a half away from me. We can get together sometime if you want and I can give you the rundown on this whole hammocking nonsense.

    Welcome, from West Michigan!
    I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I stay here.


    When I see lovers' names carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I think it's strange how so many people take knives on a date.

    Thanks Thom, Olney isn't far at all. We'll have to see when we can find a couple free hours some weekend.

    Thank you BackpackerGuy. I was in Western MI last week, pretty place you've got there. Although it made me miss the strangling swamp like humidity that S. IN has to offer.
