I was in REI just yesterday to get a stuff sack for the DIY hammock I made as a Christmas present for my spousal unit (I know it would be more awesome if I made the stuff sack, but my thread injection skills are nonexistent at this time). I got up to the section with the stuff sacks while a clerk was there, who asked if there was anything he could help me with. I told him what I was look for and showed him the hammock so that I could test what sacks it would fit into. He was actually quite impressed with the idea that I made the hammock; so much so, that after he finished helping another customer, he came back over to me and started asking all sorts of questions about the hammock and how I made it. I explained the basics of the construction and told him about this forum so he could check out more if he ever decided that he was interested enough. After that, I bought my stuff sack and went on my way.
Does anybody else have any cool hammock evangelism stories?
