Something's amiss here.  (803) is a South Carolaaaaaahna exchange.  Could it

be that these hammocks are actually coming from Pawley's Island, the hammock

capitol of the world?  An alert Paddlewiser, Sandy
--------------------

I bought something called Newel Goodlife Hammock from a company in North
Carolaaaaaahna a few years ago.  This is a combination hammock and large
bivy sack with mosquito net and rain fly.  It has a heavy duty waterproof
nylon type bottom, full length mosquito net, shock corded poles over the
head and foot and a removable rain fly.  I originally saw it in a L.L.Bean
catalog but when I went to order it a year later, they had discontinued it.
I think it was originally called a Blue Ridge Hammock and was imported from
overseas.  I did a search on the web and found this company in North
Carolina that was selling them and I got one from them.   A recent search
didn't turn up any hits though.

I tested it out at home and actually dozed off in it.  I took it on a tour
for field testing and broke the metal thingee that all the ropes go through
the first time I went to get into it.  I don't know if it was twisted or
what.  Fortunately I had the Timberlite in case I couldn't sleep all night
in the hammock.
