    I am no longer a virgin...

    Ok I hope I don't get any heat for this, but I have had my hammock for a couple of months now and today was the first time I hung.... Being in Michigan the weather isn't safe for a person without the proper warming gear to keep from being Jack Nicholson frozen in a maze in The Shinning. So after surfing this forum "Gift from God" I found in the DIY section a conversation of the TurtleDog Stand and decided that I am capable in doing this. It worked and I finally got to hang for the first time ever and it was great. Papa Smurf and his company at Dream Hammocks did an outstanding job on my hammock. You have a customer for life. For now I will be hanging here in my living room until the weather becomes a little warmer.

    Congrats on figuring out a solution!

    Hello from Hudsonville..
    I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I stay here.


    When I see lovers' names carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I think it's strange how so many people take knives on a date.

    Hello from Hudsonville..
    Since Ive been on here and watching the videos on youtube, Ive caught myself looking at trees differently. Wonder if that would be a good spot to hang, or are those two trees spaced out far enough lol. At the end of the day I just wanted to hang lol.
