User talk:Canadiandy1/Thom Dutch

Hey all. I am a bit of a noob here, but I thought this might be a good start as an article that I hope more than 5 people will view. I only know Dutch through the forums so there is no conflict of interest, and in many ways he really is a gifted design and marketing innovator.

I know the reference to his being "The World's Greatest Hiker" might be debatable, but I believe I have maintained appropriate WP neutrality as it is written.

Please feel free to help out or jump in to improve or edit respectfully.

Updated with new text.
Now that Hansen's ''The Ultimate Hang (An Illustrated Guide To Hammock Camping)" is out and it makes direct reference to Thom I believe (in addition to his prominence in forums and industry) this article should be solid enough for new article status (is there such a thing?). I know it has a long way to go for GA status, but I think this is a basic short article worthy of being a starting point. Please be kind. If you want to nix the article please check out my sources first to see that the subject is real, is relevant, and is important to a large and diverse group of Hammock campers.-- Canad iandy  talk  04:32, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
