Continuing Thread on #HammockCamping
I had to discover this on my own, wish somebody had told me... 🤷♂️
The general instruction you'll see repeated everywhere is hang your hammock with with the straps at a 30° angle. This is generally true but misses a few subtle points. First, you don't really need to think about the angle if you have a ridge line. Pull the ridge line tight and you're there! Second, a gathered-end hammock should be pitched with the foot slightly higher than the head. If you don't do this you will probably slide down to the foot of the hammock while you sleep.

Even though I've been here for over a month, I realized that I never did an #introduction post. My name is Tim and I live with my family in #Madison, #Wisconsin, where I work for a #telecom company. I'm a #UWMadison alumni and #Badger fan. I love #TTRPG, especially #DND and #CallOfCthulhu, but I'm interested in everything from #indie to #OSR. I also love #film, #television, #history, #AlternativeMusic, and #reading #SpeculativeFiction, especially #pulp and mid-20th century #fantasy and #scifi.
If you vote in #Wisconsin, today is the first day of early in-person voting for the very important Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Electing Susan Crawford is vital.

What is the difference between honest ignorance (which we all have on any number of topics, and if we're humble, we learn) and prideful ignorance ("I know everything already, shut up")?
This man
He came to the #Wisconsin state legislature to speak against #genderAffirmingCare. Instead, after listening to testimony, he apologized and said he learned a lot

On #socialMedia we are drowning in #bigotry

My husband and I are on our annual spring #camping trip to enjoy the bird #migration. There have been so many fabulous tropical #birds who have come through southern #Wisconsin southern far this year. This Wood Thrush, one of my favorite species, has been serenading our campsite for over an hour. #birding #birdwatching #nature
