River Journeys, Inc.

Part of the fun of spending time outdoors for me is not only the simplicity of it, I also enjoy the gadgetry.  New toys provide an opportunity for creative thinking, problem solving and exploration into "better" ways of doing things.

I have over the last year or so given up sleeping on the ground in a tent and now sleep in a hammock.  Now I work at sewing my own gear, talk of underquilts and overquilts, R-factors, angles of sag, tensile strength of webbing, figure 9 fasteners, tarp tensioners, the list goes on and on. 

Most importantly though is the fact that I sleep better in a hammock than I do in my bed.  Gone are the days of waking up a little stiff from the hard ground and restless slumber.  So, when you see me on the river or join us on a trip, talk hammock with me.  I love to share the joyous comfort I have found as a hanger and how I don't believe I will ever go back to being a ground dweller.

This has been a great on-line resource for me and has increased my learning curve considerably.  Not to mention, I have made some good friends along the way. 

We may be working the opportunity to hang into the riverjourneys experience.  I now own one extra hammock and may be making more.  Look forward to seeing you out of doors, perhaps hanging happily with no snooze button to worry about.
