    Rules from the Hammock gods.......

    Saw a post in another thread and did a quick search. Thought this might be interesting for a light lark. I am a believer so all of this is very tongue in cheek. Bonus points for not reusing the same numbers or rules. It pays to read....

    I'll get us started.....

    Hammock god rule #1: Thou shalt NOT go to ground....

    Hammock god rule #13: Thine bladder shall be ready to burst between the hours of 1:00 and 4:30 a.m..
    Hammock god rule #13;a: Bladder stress must drive you from the hammock when the ambient temperature is below freezing.

    Hammock god rule #53: Thou shalt plant thyself on thine tail bone once when testing thine suspension for no other reason but to curb thine unmerited pride.

    Enjoy.

    # 1034 (bet I didnt reuse any numbers there... no reading required.) Thou shalt not sit between thine hammock and underquilt.
    I would rather be in the woods... my dog would rather be in the pool. My wife thinks we are both nuts.

    Rule #22 Thy hanger that tries to avoid the wind will surely catch it the most that evening.
    Get lost in the woods and find yourself again. A vacation,to me, is working with your hands and surviving because of the fruits of your labor. In the business world I teach;in the natural world I learn.

    Rule #$$-
    Thou wilt always see gear that you believeth to be better than thine. Thou shalt be drawn into covetousness of such gear, and thou wilt then spendeth monies such that thine spouse shall disapprove of ye.
