running girl, once you try the hammock, Baume will have to get a second if he wants to use it.

Congratulations! I'm graduating this month myself. I know how good it feels!

Let me just tell you.. its going to take FOREVER for the hennesy hammock to come in. I ordered one last Monday for my boyfriend and its not scheduled to come in until May 13! But hey.. free shipping.. I guess I dont need to be complaining.

Congrats Baume 66.

I don't want to make you feel bad...but one of my acquaintance graduated from college, and his parents bought him a used 1998 Eagle Talon!!! Personally, I think it was a little overkill. :o) BTW, enjoy the pack and hammock.

thanks all. i'm anxious to see how this hammock sleeps. the pack is a osprey cresent 60. 2001 style. 5.5 lbs. 3700 ci. i've been carrying an osprey xenith pro for all trips and it is just too big for that. it weighs about 8 lbs. and carriers 5500-7700 ci.

That's what we need!
Based on how much time and potential are frittered away just on TT, baume, you picked a degree with great potential in our society, LOL!

Baume will keep working the same job that he has held for 16 years. Good luck to you, Miss Opie. stanlee, we are at the age where we are buying things for our parents, not the other way around.
