Just wanted to say hello. I actually stumbled onto this site while looking for a hammock on ebay and fell in love with it. I am mostly a backpacker(base load 30lbs for atleast 7 days). I love to make my own gear when I can, mostly just simple things like alcohol stoves, hooches, and i made a hatchet out of one that my friend had broke. I am into amateur radio ( tech ticket). I was in the army for 7 yrs and loved every minute of it (except the PT). I am looking forward to talking to everyone and learning new things
