PlusOne in NJ

[PlusOne]

A good friend of mine (FishKiller) offered me a "glass of Kool-Aid" last month and took me to the 2nd Annual LocoLibre Hang in NJ. I have been a fan of the outdoors my whole life, and recently "upgraded" to a massive 8 person Marmot tent to accommodate my wife, myself, and three young children. We are trying to introduce them to the finer things in life that can only be found outdoors, on the water, or in the woods. In all my years, though, the only hammock I'd even been in was a cheap backyard hammock hung for the sole purpose of digging a diamond rope pattern in your back as you napped.

Let me tell you, that was some **** good Kool-Aid!

In all my years, I have never slept so comfortably in the woods as I did that weekend. I was awed by the mix of simplicity and complexity the gear offers. I enjoyed hearing from the DIY-ers and the industry pros that were there. I never felt like my questions were intruding, and I must confess, I am now an addict. My rig arrived yesterday and sits unopened waiting for me when I get home.

I look forward to seeing you in the woods.

Welcome from the Jersey Shore. While I remember your getting your new screen name, Plus One, I can't remember your face for the life of me. Anyway, fishkiller is a good friend to have - just don't go canoeing with him!

Another one down the rabbit hole, we will enjoy the company. Ha.

Look forward to seeing the new rig at the next one.

Welcome, glad to see you went all in. And fishkiller called it he said you were hooked.

[The Tree Frog]

Muwahahaha! We got another one! Nice to meet you at the hang. See you at the winter hang?

@GeorgeCarr: It was a pleasure to meet you too. I am looking forward to testing out the Saver Habanero I just ordered!
@SilvrSurfr: I had a tan hat or black beanie, goatee, and green vest.

@everone else: Thank you! I look forward to meeting you/seeing you again.

Update: I rushed home to open the package, and as I was transferring it to the table, I thought it felt a bit heavy. I never actually looked at the shipping label. As I eagerly opened the box I was saddened to see it was not my new rig, rather a replacement order of litter box trays. Now I have to sit by the door, and stare at the mail slot with sad puppy eyes, waiting for my order to arrive. Apparently, the black Friday sale was a success and orders are back logged.
