Hi Hammock forums, to those I know and those I don't!
I have been rather low-key lately, attracted by different fields - canoeing, sailing, paleonthology, and... learning Russian (my nickname on the HF must have been a premonition!).
I am still peeping in from time to time, just to make sure you are still talking about whoopie slings, ucr-s, spe-s and pole mods (all of which I don't use) and to assess how antiquarian my hammocking style has become.
Now to the new and the old, I'll tell you what the whole thing is about : a hammock is something you hang in between two trees, and you need and underquilt and a tarp. Just stick to this and you will be happy!
OK : now to our subject matter. You might think it is untimely, but I am going to Moscow for a couple weeks or months or years and since discussing with the locals about going to the woods returned the following answer in Google translation :
It is dangerous for us, since bears and wolves began to go out to people, they have nothing to eat in the forest, they cut down a lot of forest
, I'd be interested in meeting a fellow hammocker, just to make sure we offer a more copious meal to the bear, worth the disturbance!
Or maybe some of you are not Russian but have some experience with Russia?
Note : I have been scouting the forum already for previous posts linked to Russia and tried to contact the authors without success.
