Hello from England
Hi all,
i am new to this forum just wanted to introduce myself,my name is mandy nicknamed 'migsy'.
i am a hammock hanger been using hammocks for only a few years now as i used to be a tent dweller,but find hanging soooo much more portable and comfortable.
i started in the good old string hammock which was ok as a start, i suppose,now just got myself a DD hammock + 3m x 3m tarp,very nice :cool:.
unfortunately unlike you guys over the water, the choice of kit is very limited over here and expensive,woohooo for online shopping :D.
i mainly go hanging solo in a place called 'The New Forest' which is in Hampshire,but this week end coming i am off to Dorking on the outskirts of London-ish with a group from Stoneage Bushcraft forum, run by a great guy called Mike Dixon,check him out on youtube.
i am a mega fan of shug emery ,watch his vid's all the time,very informative and like's a laugh too ,no better way to spend a few hours in my view :D.
Also i am a Ray Mears fan ,have watched him since day one and follow all that he does.
well thats all form the English Hanger for now.
Happy hanging :D

Hi Darwin - welcome the forum

Hi Darwin,
Welcome to the forums from Southern Ontario.
Some friends and I are also big fans of Ray Mears. His series "Northern Wilderness" should be required viewing for Canadian students. I've learned more from Ray about my own country than I did in school.

Hi
Welcome. I hail from the New Forest and it's a great place to hang. There are a few of us from the UK in here.

Welcome to HF. Thanks for pointing out Ray Mears and Mike Dixon's You-Tube videos. I have seen a couple of Ray Mears long while back. But had forgotten about them.
