You can blame it all on Shug. I was watching my normal YouTube fare when Shug popped up as a recommended video. The rest is history. Very few people grab my attention. I must have watched 12 of his videos in one night. I'm already a camper/hiker/tent person, but I kept seeing more and more hammock camping and got sucked in. I bought one of those crinkled tafetta tablecloths and some 1.5" webbing, carabiners and whoopie slings. I weigh 270# so we'll see how this goes!
