Talking to Phantom and he is now in charge of the weather and he has assured me that we will have great weather with a slight chance of rain this weekend.

[Phantom Grappler]

Noobies, this is the hang for you. Eat good and drink cowboy coffee. Hang with old pros who’ve made most of mistakes a hammocker can make.
I even make some mistakes twice out of force of habit. We pick with each other a lot cause we’ve been to lots of hangs together. If nobody picks with you—how ya tell they liked you?
Loads of trees and best temperatures. Possible rain showers Friday and Saturday.
Phantom don’t forget list
Bugnet for hammock
Bug spray for skin
Insulation, especially bottom of hammock
Raincoat
Hat
Folding chair
☕️ Coffee mug

Naw...that's called verifying you made a mistake in the first place. Once it's verified (i.e. you do the same mistake twice) you can confirm for certain that yes, it was a mistake!

[gunner76]

is it a mistake if you did a second time to verify that you did make a mistake the first time or is it a mistake to do it a second time to see if was really a mistake and if you are out in the woods by yourself and your wife did not see you make the mistake then was it really a mistake. My head hurts now thinking about it.

[Phantom Grappler]

I’m gonna demo exploding knots...
Knots that disappear when you pull ripcord
The whole demo with half dozen knots will take less than 60 seconds
Also there will be a suspension set between two trees. There will be a knot in middle joining tree strap and amsteel. Gunner and Slugger will be invited to load suspension by standing on it.
A foot off ground. One at a time of course.
One of our Noobies will be invited to untie this knot—slipped zeppelin bend. You will be amazed that it Knot only holds without slipping—it does not jam.
Also there will be an overhand knot in amsteel all by itself—the kind that sneaks into your suspension when you ain’t looking.
Will Phantom be able to untie this jammed overhand knot??? You are free to bet
No bets over one trillion smackerroos

[Terminator]

That's a sign of insanity. Doing things over and over again expecting different results. This fat butt zombie hang..... I'm bringing my meds.. why do I Keep coming back!

Greg, when you do something right and I'm not there to see it, was it really right to begin with?

Slugger and Terminator, when I make one mistake after another—that’s progress, right!
I wonder if I have time to change hammock and tarp suspensions
