    Why do you torture yourself?

    There are many outdoor-related YT'ers that aren't my cuppa joe so I see a little bit at first, decide I don't really like their stuff and move on, simply never watching again. I don't waste time trying to convince others that they suck; I just don't care.

    And you'd give up something you like simply because somebody you don't like is using it?

    LOL, it's a crazy ol' world out there.

    Some people enjoy being haters. I also suspect that there is a healthy dose of jealousy involved when people have this kind of antipathy towards people making money with their hobby. As you said, if her videos are not your cup of tea, who cares? But for some people it seems to be more personal than that. Here is a young woman who has worked hard and has managed to make money doing something she is passionate about, so some people are bound to get jealous and bitter - quick to find fault and quick to disregard the level of work involved.

    No hate here, or jealousy for that matter. Just rendering my opinion, that’s all.

    Aye, free speech is such a burden isn't it? I just find the fan worship throughout this thread hilarious. The purpose of the thread wasn't even to talk about her accomplishments, just what gear she uses. Most of my annoyance with the latest video offered up is I can't stand unboxing video posts. So incredibly pointless and nothing more than click gathering. Come back after you've used it in the field.

    Like stated above, this is also my opinion and free to take or reply to as people will, I'm free to say it and someone else is free to vocally disagree with it. These are rights bought and paid for.

    Personally I respect her efforts.She talks the talk and has literally walked the walk so good for her.I commented to her channel that when the day came that she starts to develop aches and pain she will re-visit hammocking.Maybe she just needs something new to talk about.I did notice that she has recently purchased a ULA Ohm 2.0.If my memory serves me well I know of some one else that uses one.I just hope the Hillbilly pot is off limits.......

    I’m gonna try that. Whenever she pops up, I hit not interested but, like a bad penny, she keeps coming back.

    Though I wouldn't describe it as hilarious, I've come to find the repeated postings of some on this thread to be pretty amusing, as I enjoy speculating on people's motives for their posts. I'm no longer worried about Dixie reading it, as there are only three or so Negative Nancys out of all the people who have posted. As I said, I highly suspect jealousy is a factor. It's hard to come up with a good reason otherwise why these people would be drawn back again and again just to express their dislike of Dixie. Or why one would watch an entire 17 minute video when they apparently found no value in it, as one commentator reportedly did. Why not stop watching after 15 minutes? Or 12? or 10? Man, you could live to be 200 and never understand people

    In any case, I love my new XLC that I got in the most recent sale. Hopefully Dixie will enjoy her BB.
