Bourbon and usually bring enough to share!

Love me some Cooper Creek. Surprisingly as busy as it is, we usually catch a few for the skillet.

Hey my avatar's gone!

Been gone for a while myself. 2 teenagers keeping my sanity at a minimum! First time seeing the new format.

Ive started jamming to some of the old 80's and early 90's again with some Breeders, Sepultura (when at the gym, need speed metal motivation!) and slipping back in the 70's with Yes. REALLY digging those old Yes albums.....thank you youtube and pandora!

Yardwork.....yeah right! Backpacking hands down, unless I have a chance to do some trout fishing the with my dad. I know those days wont last forever and he's getting long in the ol tooth, so those times are treasured.

Ive seen a lot of of big rubs from last year in my outings so far. Ive noticed deer moving at more odd times this year too.

Nice set up with pics, Briansnat. In the first pic, I would be on the ground by morning with my slap straps they stretch so stinkin bad. I definitely need to work on my suspension. I have to hang between chest and waist to make sure Im not draggin the dirt by morning!

I guess what makes it most appealing to me is the ease of the set up. Not like my tent is all that bad, but I can seriously have my hammock swinging in about 90seconds not including my tarp and ridgeline, which really only come out if theres a chance of rain. I sleep better in my hammock than my...
