    Proud Son Moment

    So earlier this summer I went through my hammock collection and appeared to be missing a hammock and couldn't remember if I gave it away or not. Yesterday the mystery was solved. I got a message from my Dad with the below picture attached.



    My Dad's had a long history of back problems and I forgot I sent him home with this hammock when they came to visit earlier this year. He finally set it up and reported that he had the best sleep he's had in years. No waking up with lower back pain that takes 45 minutes to get rid of in the morning.

    P.S.
    Yes, I see that it's hung a little tight and suggested he put a little more slack on the suspension, but in order to clear the bed it was what had to be done.

    Q: How do you know you MIGHT have too many hammocks?

    A: When you go through your inventory and discover that one of the MIGHT be missing!

    Glad your dad is getting some good use out of it =)

    Thats awesome. and with the bed under him, if he does fall, it might not hurt to bad.
    When the wife asks, I simply say "Shug made me do it".

    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.

    Some People still give me that funny look when I say I sleep in a Hammock on my deck year round but my back loves it plus this fresh air of the north does wonders...despise stuffy indoor air more so than ever.
    2Yrs full time and zero issues with my lower back pain. No more being crippled over like I'm 80.

    SO Glad your Dad came around to giver a go and realize the relief to be had
    Life is too Short to not feed the addiction....Hang on and explore the World

    It's nice that if falls out it's onto a soft bed

    That's cool. I have dealt with low back issues for years so I may have to give that indoor hanging a try.

    What did he hang it with?
