I am new to hammocking! My first experience was not a very good one but I could not blame it all on the hammock. 45-55 MPH winds and driving rain well just say a hammock could make a great bathtub! I do not think I had it staked out completly right and probably did not have it tight enough....that being said I have bought a hammock and hope to be practicing alot more here in the near future.

Thanks again for the ENO dry fly. Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated.
I look forward to giving it a whirl soon.

You may even want to give some consideration to attending the June hang in Hot Springs, if it fits your schedule. It's an easy 4 hour drive down there from Lexington. Plenty of folks and their gear to check out and learn from. :D

That's a great first story. Everyone in hammocking has one. The trick is to comeback for more.

That being said I have been practicing setting it up better and am going out this weekend for two days and get it right this time!;)
