I've been here for a long time, but haven't posted in ages. My brother actually took this photo of his hammock on a June evening last year, (I was busy cooking dinner - if you look carefully you will see a spit in the bottom left hand corner of the pic) - and for me it sums up the whole ethos of...

All sorted - back in the fold, and thanks for the advice.

Just a thought, gents. If you want someone to cough up real dosh to join (I was a full member for several years before letting it lapse last winter), then you might want to have a big red button or something similar to let people subscribe their hard earned cash. It is way too complicated at...

I like this - nice write-up.

Great post - it's making my feet itch.

Great set-up. And nice to see a dry forest floor - had almost forgotten what that looked like!

So heartening to see practicality and beauty aren't mutually exclusive.

Wish I had the dosh for this one - it truly is a buy-it-once-in-your-life opportunity. My grandfather had one, along with leather gaiters, and they lasted him decades. Good luck with the sale.

Even though I've read the books, I can't wait for this one.

Little beauty. Cherry always looks great, and that's lovely work.
