I am new to hammock camping. I bought my son a hammock for a scout campout and it looked like fun so I picked one up for myself.
I've only had it out three times but I love it! I can't wait to learn from all of you on how to make it even better.
I got turned on to the forum by Shug's videos on youtube--wow how fun are those! I love the community that you all have created here.
Thanks, Mads
Whooooo Buddy and Welcome......

Welcome and i have a question what kind of hammocks do you and your son own?
I have a ENO double nest and I'm not sure of my son's but it is a parachute type nylon hammock similar to the ENO.
Howdy neighbor! I hail from the Tiger side of the state line; but I own a business in Olathe; so I've become pretty accustomed to working with J-birds :D
But hammocking knows no collegiate bounds; so I welcome you with open arms to our little community!!!!!
Like you and your son, my interest in backpacking was re-kindled several years ago after making trek at Philmont Scout Ranch. What an awesome experience that was! Wisdom and age (i.e. an "old" back) later taught me the advantages of getting off the ground. I've never looked back.
Welcome to HF ! You sound like me, I fell in love with hammocks the first time I climbed in one. Have not slept on the ground in a tent since.
Welcome to HF!

Welcome from up near'n Parkville. Actually, as I type I'm on the Op/Lenexa line workin. Getting 5 or 6 people at least in the KC area.
So, where's are first hang?
My Mom and her side of the family all live south of St. Jo, MO. I was just there last weekend, on vacation from Honduras (that just sounds backwards, doesn't it?). My Uncle kept calling folks with KS plates Jay-Birds. Took me a minute to figure out why. :)
Welcome Mads! I'm actually in OP too, but didn't list it because I figured "who'd know where that is?"...LOL
Got my HH explorer in today. Still waiting to get youngest son's setup (HH expedition) in.
I'm hoping we can put together a KC area hang sometime this spring. Hopefully we can get something together!
