    Hello from central Kentucky

    Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a few weeks and finally took the plunge. I was a scout as a kid, and now my son is a boy scout and I like to tag along. I can't hardly sleep on the ground, and the idea of sleeping in a hammock appeals to me for a number of reasons such as comfort, ease of packing, weight, etc...I'm a big guy so I made my hammock out of 1.9 ripstop with webbing for suspension, just ordered my cinch buckles and now I plan to use the leftover ripstop to make a stuff bag for the hammock. I must admit I really enjoy making my own gear, I sure am giving my wife's Singer a workout. Anyways, it's great to be here and if anyone frequents the trails in Eastern Ky we may cross paths some day.

    Welcome to the forums from next door! (Indiana).
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Howdy from Louisville. I'll echo what grannypat said. This is a great place for DIY, I finally joined the dark side myself. It really is fun.
