    Over the years I've compiled lots of info on hammocks & camping on my desktop computer that I don't want to eat up a lot of space on my iPod Touch or iPad. This book consolidates most that info and adds illustrations (what a clever idea). And now I can have access to this info on my mobile devices whether on the trail, car camping with the grand kids or teaching a Scout troop. This is a "must have" book in print format and an essential tool in the digital format.

    As a newbie to hanging I decided to test the waters and purchase this ebook. I have to agree it was a fast read and done well. It is chock full of the duh I knew that and a very good review of trail and camping / hanging edict. That said I will always have this handy as a reference and the illustrations are truly worth a thousand words Happy hanging

    I've been a "hanger" since 2006, and I learned a ton from this book. Derek has covered it all and the illustrations are so clear and concise, even the noob can understand the concepts.

  • Great book!

    Could not put this down! I have been a partial hanger for a few years now and still learned some new tricks. The illustrations are great and there are several options presented on how to "hang" all throughout the book, regardless of knowledge, financial resources, or availability of products in your area!
