    Hello from the Pacific Northwest

    Well, here I thought I was fairly adept at computers and forums in general. I spend 15 minutes trying to figure out how to "Say hello" here only to FINALLY realize that I had failed to log in!

    Not a lot of experience in Hanging, but I purchased a BearButt hammock and a stand (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and used it in my hotel room at an event back in April.
    Then I tried it last month on a 4 night camping trip with my family. My son stole my set-up every chance he got.

    I do believe I'm addicted now.

    Reasons I believe this to be true:
    Built a no sew PLUQ.
    Added the Costco Down throw (https://www.costco.com/Double-Black-...100314979.html)
    Bought a BearButt hammock for him.
    Built a PLUQ for him.
    Just built my first Turtledog stand. (There really IS a use for that Trigonometry they made us learn in High School and College!)
    Discovered Dutchwaregear.com and already placed 3 orders there (and planning out my 4th).
    Watched too many Shug Videos on U-Tube.

    Hello all!
    Dave

    You got the hammock bug. Next thing you know, you'll be using acronyms and abbreviations for Calf Ridge Pressure CRP caused by short hammocks and Cold Butt Syndrome CBS. You'll be hollerin Whoooooooooo Buddy and going to group hangs, drinking coffee heated on alcohol stove.
    LTMillar, welcome to never ending fun.

    Weeeelllll, since I can't buy 190 proof alcohol here in Washington State and have to road trip to buy it in Oregon to use in my alcohol stove to make my tea, I suppose I'm not too far off.

    Thank you for the welcome!

    Welcome from Northern Arkansas. Just FYI, rubbing alcohol from any store burns pretty good for cooking and is easily found! Now on to SRL's, Grizz beaks, and black bishop bags...

    Welcome to the group from Happy Valley, Oregon.

    My daughter and I started out about the same way. She did not want to use the hammock, then she did, then we started each improving what we had. We started with really inexpensive hammock and gradually moved up. We do a lot of DIY, we find it rewarding and fun competition.

    Welcome from Albany Oregon!
    I found camping on the ground wayyy uncomfortable and hammocks are a great solution.
