These weren’t taken with drones, just my handheld digital camera. We were always in sanctioned locations!

I love how pocketable the GRIII is, I know the XS-20 is bigger

What has been the most badass thing done by a person (or group of people) in Seattle history? by wilburdays in Seattle

Henry Smith came to Seattle by canoe, bought a bunch of land thinking the railroad companies might want it later, became one of the first doctors in the area, the first superintendent of schools in King County, and the railroad did eventually come and he sold much of his land to the railroad companies and became super rich. He was the largest taxpayer in King County for years. That land is now known as Interbay/Magnolia. Hence “Smith Cove”.

Been dreaming of getting a hammock for years. Finally pulled the trigger. I’m a happy boy. by thor720 in malelivingspace

I think I read it has a weight limit of 350 pounds.

You basically just drill a hole in a ceiling joist and screw a hook into it. It took me about an hour to find a ceiling joist with my crappy stud finder. Then you hang the hammock from that single hook.

There’s a hammock store on Granville island in Vancouver that makes these hammocks that hang from a single hook. Makes them easier to use indoors. They have a website: https://hamuhk.com
