    Evil Conversion plans...

    I'm going camping with a bunch of tenters this weekend. I am, of course, hanging. I expect a lot of ppl will be joining this forum next week….. My plan to convert the ground-dwellers commences!!!!!! Bwahahahahahaha…..cough……ha…..

    Last night at a pizza joint I expounded (and showed pics) of my hammock setup to a friend who tents it. He and his wife are very intrigued by hammocks. I might end up making them each a tablecloth hammock….

    We might even start a group of hangers here…. I am, of course, completely convinced that once you get in a hammock, you will never go back to lying on the ground and am forging ahead in this endeavor. I have even convinced my work (who house me while I am doing several-days-in-a-row shifts) to let me hang and of course, I show off my hammock setup to anyone who is even the tinniest, teeny bit curious.
    If you don't experiment, you don't learn!

    I'm planning on doing the same thing this weekend.

    I was expounding the virtues of my hammock last weekend during lunch break on a day canoe trip. Most of the same bunch are going to be tenting it this weekend while I sleep in total comfort a foot above the uneven rocky ground....hehe!!

    Age range is old enough that they all will be groaning about back pain come morning whilst I sing and dance...

    I sometimes forget that people still tent. I prefer to see it as you are batman/superman/green lantern etc attempting to DEFEAT the evil tent.

    Just tell them that you have a surprise for them in your hammock. As they bend over to look for it, give them a shove from behind. Once they are in the hammock, it's all over.
