You may see me out in the park again as I have several hammocks and last night I was testing a very light weight model by BIAS (Butt In A Sling) called the Weight Weenie Micro. I'm playing with different suspensions on the different hammocks. The BIAS had "whoopie slings" on it last night, lol. Cheers.

Seems you can't get enough enough of sleeping in the hammock :)<br />I spent the evening reading your entire blog and am inspired by your trek. Not sure what I'll do with that inspiration just yet, but it is fuelling some dreams of what I might do.<br />Thanks for sharing your adventure. <br /><br />David.

I will try to finish this damn trail as a section hiker though and I don't know when, probably after retirement. Besides I have this new found appreciation for home and the comforts of sleeping in my own bed and better yet, a refrigerator full of food.
