Hammeck - Announcing Halt of Operations

**Porter Rockwell** · 04-16-2016, 09:28

All the best:

Family FIRST.

Love my HAMMECK STAND! Destined to be a collector's item.

Life is about managing change to become something. Seems you have that in hand.

Hope the UTUBE vid's will remain available. They are very helpful.

Love and prayers,

Old Port

First off, congrats and best wishes to the whole family!

Second, I'm so glad I have my order already in for my Clemson orange-and-purple Netty!

Third, so ... what's the estimate on the collectors' item value for my Hammeck shirts, sweatshirt, and new Netty?!!!! Might we all profit from your move?! ~wink~ Gosh, do I use them or archive them for future increase in value?!

Wow! I hate to see on of the family leave but on the other hand congrats and best wishes for your family. It amazes me how it actually hurts when someone you've never met has to make these tough life decisions. You've done well so move on and tackle this next phase of life as you've done in the past and it will all work out. I look forward to the return of Hammeck in the future.

Thank you for everything! I know that some of Troop 410 in Nashua Nh loves your stuff! I'm especially jealous of Marc's Envy S he just got in....

Sorry to lose such an excellent vendor but congratulations, the culmination of so many years of hard work is coming to fruition!

You know, we had a pretty big inventory of them, and we got wiped out in 24 hours! Guess you weren't the only one who thought that way. Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you, Dutch. It has been great working with you for the past few years. You can count on us being at the hangs and parties!

Y'all have been very innovative and hope someone picks up on that innovation.

Hope the residency goes well and finding a new home!!And good luck to you finding a new job too!!

Thank you! Mom and Dad will definitely be back to HANGCON, that much won't be changing. Beth and I are hoping to make it next year, but we'll have to see what her schedule looks like!

Thanks Paul! I'm hoping the same! It's been over a year since I had the time to go on a backpacking trip. That's going to change very soon!

Thank you, Mike! Hope to see you at MAHHA again!

Haha! Well, a purist would tell you to use them until you wore them out. A collector would shun you for not putting them in a glass case. I can tell you, I'm not a collector...

Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Hammeck!

P.S. Your Netty will ship on Monday!

Thank you, and you're very welcome. It was wonderful to work with you in the past for your sales, and I know you've spread our name to a lot of people. For that, we are very grateful!

I love the Meck family, and I'm excited for you all that there are wonderful things happening. I know it's sad you have to halt the business aspect right now, but family comes first. I think ya'll will work something out for the future of the Hammeck business. I'm really hoping this will mean ya'll will have more time to come to hangs in NC. By the way, I'm glad you are only going as far as Pittsburgh David. I would have hated for you two to get too far from home.

As a family on the other side of residency, I don't envy you. You're in for a rough time. But love and patience will see you through. Be there for her at the end of those Q3-4 rotations. Find the simple ways to encourage her. And if you ever need to talk to someone about what it's like to quit your job and move to support your wife through this time, let me know.
