Hey, ya'll. I joined a few months back and have been lurking/learning ever since. Great site! I've been doing lightweight and ultralight backpacking for years and got a little (lot!) tired of the ground. This spring I made the swtich to hammocks and haven't even pitched my brand new MSR FastStash. Been making and modifying several styles of hammocks, but really like my DIY 10' with a 6" mini spreader bar.
I never used to throw my Z-Rest on the ground and sleep in the basement for fun, but one hammock or the other is always hung downstairs now (and increasingly occupied by other members of the household!). My wife and kids are gearing up for their first hammock trip shortly, so it's becoming a family affair.
Other hobbies my family and I enjoy include bladesmithing, making/shooting/hunting with traditional archery tackle, living history/historical trekking, bushcrafting, fly-fishing,and kayaking. Anyway, thanks to all for a great site!
