You probably have to be english to get that one....and i'm only joking

Don't know about it being a cockney rhyming slang or not. I do know i was reading the books and watching the bbc series for years before i knew what a Ford Prefect was. Duh.

How could a person of culture and breeding NOT understand that reference

I just put one up for sale if you're interested. I like heavier material better. Which leads me to searching for yet another hammock, just a little lighter but still comfortable.

It seems our wives have been speaking to one another. I hear the same thing.

Let's think about this logically. Since many of us speak in code around our spouses regarding our gear acquisitions i did some simple math to determine our maximum N-E-E-D. N is the 14th letter of the alphabet, E is the 5th and so on... Therefore our maximum should be 14+5+5+4 = 28 There, no one should have more than this.

I agree. 28 tenfooters, 28 elevenfooters, 28 twelvefooters, 28 gathered end, 28 bridge hammocks, 28 warbonnet hammocks, 28 dream hammocks, ...,

Interesting but doesn't account for the general formula: NEED = HAVE + 1. Therefore 14+5+5+4 => 8+1+22+5+1. You have to go past 37 before you begin to approach EXCESS.

Interesting, I suggest the reference to wife should be changed to spouse or significant other. Lots of ladies now posting and I believe a lot of us have more gear than our husband/family is aware of. Then there is the gear making equipment and stash some of us manage to have more than one thread injector. Ah, addiction goes on and on.

If the HF cottage group would only stop honing their products, always something new, lighter, wider, longer or some new delicious fabric or bling.

I guess when you start hiding your new acquisition or having it sent someplace other than your home you might be on the edge of needing a Hammock Gear 12 Step Group.
