    Congrats on entering a new chapter of your lives.

    I have lived in the Pittsburgh area for about four years now. If there is anything having a local around to scout for would be helpful for, let me know. I also bought a house about two years ago, and my relator was amazing. PM me if you need anything, and Ill send you my cell number.

    I'm not sure if I talked with you at MAHHA or not.... but Ill probably see you at a hang sometime. If you are interested in HAM radio, let me know and Ill introduce you to our radio club.

    Hammecks down!

    Just noticed this - as of today, May 1, 2016, the Mecks have halted operations with no plans to reopen! Seems like this would be high business time of year for hammock makers; I hope the family is OK!
    The announcement is on the front page of their site and on their "About us" page:

    Oh, looks like the news isn't so dire after all - just lots of things happening for various family members; they're having to move because one of them is starting a medical residency somewhere and another one has just gotten engaged and has accepted a big new job. It's listed on their blog page.

    Yep, sounds like a bitter sweet situation too. Though I never had the opportunity to be a customer, their reputation is great and their goodbye heartfelt and genuine. I wish them well in their future endeavors.

    I'm really hoping it's a temporary halt. Family comes first.

    They had some great designs and provided an option to the better known vendors. Their Envy-S, with its zip off netting and zip off "peek-a-boo" layer allowed for a tremendous amount of condensation control. I often need a sock because of changing wind conditions relative to tarp orientation. With the Envy-S, I could leave to sock at home. I hope they can eventually start up again if that's what they want to do.

    I saw Shug's video featuring the Hammeck and was really excited, but when I checked the website last week they were already gone.
    too bad

    After meeting the Meck family at MAHHA, I am convinced they are a great family with a strong desire to live life to the fullest! They are starting a new chapter in their life and who knows where it will take them. I do know that it is very hard to work two jobs especially when both are full time. So I wouldn't look for them to start back with Hammeck any time soon if at all. That being said, I wish them Good luck and blessings for all the things they do!

    Was at a hang this past weekend with mom & pop Meck...they are considering their options, looking for alternatives but nothing in stone yet. They are a great couple who loved their business with their family so I wouldn't count them out completely yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.
