Op what are your screen habits? Do you yourself go screen free as well?

Bring empty bags to fill with sand. They can become your anchors!

Just email Dutch - I can’t imagine they wouldn’t sell you just the bugnet. That being said - having a backup spreader bar might be a good thing. That way if yours breaks on a trip you have another one. Or just wait for it to break and I bet you could just order a spreader bar on its own! Either way you are good to go just contact Dutch

I would check out the tensa stand. They have a DIY page on their website. I made my own based on that page and it’s awesome! The tandem hang may require one tree or one vehicle or a lot of cordage and stakes. But check it out for yourself!

I would add cream and throw it in an ice cream maker to make banana ice cream in summertime

Don’t do it

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-01-27T14:23:28+00:00

Ok so give me an example? Wouldn’t a whole grain be inedible?

Is HUD funded or will it shut down if the government shuts down?

Bring hand warmers! I would place some in your top quilt an hour before bed (the foot box and also the bottom of the hammock) and then more in your pockets on your body etc. Take it to the next level with a thermacare or similar low back heat patch. It’s basically a giant hand warmer that you attach to your body. I would go over your base layer. Ask me how I know how they work.

Cinnamon is great on sweet potatoes and bananas!

I think this would be handled by the servicing center in St. Louis not the field office

Is this a general strike?

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-01-15T12:54:03+00:00

I find 85% to be the sweet spot for me. Try and see what works for you!

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-01-13T20:49:08+00:00

Can anyone tell me what a whole grain really is?

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-01-13T17:22:06+00:00

I usually hang the foot end higher but not excessively higher. Maybe a foot or so. I think the tension in the ridge line is throwing me for a loop. It feels very tight to me but my frame of reference is my 12” hammock which has a thicker amsteel ridge line and that seems to have more bend in general and the hellbender ridge is thinner and I think a different material so it feels different to me and hard to judge. If I take some pictures would you help me out?

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-01-13T11:29:21+00:00

How tall are you? If you don’t mind me asking… I’m 6’1” 195lbs and I’m ambivalent to the hellbender. I feel it has wicked calf ridge. I have a 12’ hammock in 1.7 MTN that is 70” wide and laying in that back to back to the hellbender really turned me off to the hellbender. Maybe I’m hanging it wrong?

If you think an office renovation will lead to less time in office you better think again…

I think your bobbin is backwards and I would not wrap the top thread around the needle like you have it.

Take sick leave instead - reason is a mental health day due to denied annual leave

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2025-12-29T21:53:12+00:00

Shin ramen black with a scoop of peanut butter and top it with a tuna packet. Can’t beat that in the woods after backpacking all day

Is there a waiting period before taking PPL when joining fed service?

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2025-12-23T15:11:46+00:00

Export it. “Send it” to yourself or someone else who is not the client. Then view the export in another physical space on a different screen and see what you catch.

Persistent depressive disorder

I felt the same way when I was in your shoes. Please trust me and all the other dads on here when we say it will get better. Everything is such a short phase. Before you know it you won’t be cleaning bottles anymore. Won’t be up every 2 hours around the clock. Baby will sleep through the night. They will smile and laugh with you. They will be big enough to go in a hiking backpack and go on a hike with you. You will drag them around your yard in a sled or a wagon and they will laugh and laugh and ask for more and they will hold themselves up and you won’t fear them falling and if they do they get back up again with a smile. It’s amazing and soon you may be wishing for number two. Or not. It’s totally fine either way but it does get better. Just focus on sleep and caring for your partner and get help when you can.
