Ever since I was a boy in scouts and learned knots, my favorite one has been the taught line hitch. I use it for all my tarp tie outs and it has served me well for 30+ years.

Welcome from Lawrenceville. I've never had a problem hanging anywhere in Georgia. Happy hangin'.
Welcome from Lawrenceville. I understand the Sub7 is a smaller hammock and is basically for lounging around. I have an Eno DoubleNest and it has served me well for six years now. I would like to...
Yeah, it's been hectic. In-laws with health issues, family members passing, sons' school and work. Too much going on to enjoy life, seems like. Can't wait to get in the woods and breathe some good...
Me too! I am ready for some back country action!
:) I'm definitely ready!
Hello everyone, I haven't been here for awhile. Been extremely busy and with my son in college, we haven't had much time to hike, camp or hang. He's still in school, but I think we will getting...
Welcome to the forums from Lawrenceville, GA. My son and I have done a good bit of hiking and camping in North GA, but haven't been to Cohutta. Been meaning to go there and check out some trails,...
I usually camp near a stream with some nice rushing water and that puts me into a deep sleep. The times I camp away from a stream are no problem for me either because the chirping crickets sing me...

I was there in January and it was pretty clean. Maybe the rangers cleaned it, but I didn't see a lot of trash there. Blood Mountain falls is the big falls where the road crosses the concrete...
Chestatee WMA above Cleveland is a nice place also. You can drive up to your campsite and there are plenty of them. Access to a trail that leads to Jarrards Gap on the AT. Blood Mountain Falls is...
Any idea on a future date for a Georgia hang?

Hope these help :D

My first (and only) hammock is an ENO DN. I thoroughly enjoy mine. I have the whole ENO thing - bug net, the housefly tarp (very nice with doors) and Atlas Straps (terrific straps). I've enjoyed...
Welcome to the site! You are about to discover the most comfortable and deepest sleep ever! It's an addiction (a good one)!
Welcome to the forums! This is a terrific place to "hang" out and pick up tips or just see what everyone else is doing or just spend hours watching Shugs videos. Welcome!
Welcome to the forums! I would definitely check out some other hammocks with a higher weight limit - just to be on the safe side and to allow for other things you may use in your hammock
Welcome to the site and a sea of information.
Welcome to the forums! I grew up just down the road from Evans in Martinez just off of Flowing Wells Road. Small world! There is a ton of info here and it can boggle the mind. Just take it slow...
I'm assuming you had a change of clothes and did so before hitting the sack. When I go camping and I know the temps will be dropping pretty low, I bring some hot hands and throw them in my sleeping...
Keep pluggin' Lakota. It took me several outings before I figured out how to hang my hammock. I've been hanging for over four years now and each time I go out I always learn something new. On cold...

Welcome from Lawrenceville!
I concur, Burrells Ford is a nice place to hang, also nice trout fishing and Kings Creek Falls is a short hike and the Foothills trail is on the other side of the parking lot.
Nope, 'fraid there ain't no cure. As a matter of fact, the bug gets worse as time goes on and you begin to look for any excuse to go hammock camping. Hate to be the bearer of "bad news", but it is...

Welcome to the addiction from Lawrenceville. Once you start hanging, you will never sleep on the ground again. Check out Shug's videos, if you haven't already, they are entertaining and very...
Welcome to the addiction!
Welcome to the forums. I was skeptical four years ago, but when I had my first night in my hammock, I haven't looked back. Best sleep I ever had in the woods and haven't slept in a tent since. ...
Welcome to the forums and thank you for your service!
Yep, now it's done! You got the bug and there's no cure! What a great bug to have! Welcome.
My son and I hiked from Springer Mountain to Three Forks this weekend. We had a nice hike and the weather was very good for hiking. We got set up, ate lunch and, shortly after, we were in the...

Welcome to the addiction!
I think it depends on where you hang. I like to hang in the North Georgia mountains and it can get down in the 50's during the summer months, so I generally bring a 35 degree sleeping bag. I start...
Welcome to the forums. You'll definitely learn a lot hear. Check out Shugs videos, they're informative and entertaining.
I been on several outings when a thunderstorm and lightning would blow in during the night. Most times, I am awakened by a thunder clap, I raise my head and look at the lightning show for a few...
You are correct - hangin' is addictive and the good thing about it - there is no cure!
Might as well give in. No matter what you do, you can't shake this addiction.
Oh man, 2ply! Sorry to hear about David's ankle. Sounds like you had an eventful weekend. Hope he gets well and healed up real soon and hopefully he will want to get back in the saddle - so to...
Very cool design. I like the way the bug net is integrated into the system. Looks like a lot of thought went into this design.
I change under my tarp and have never had a problem.
I wouldn't consider anytime you can get out and hang a "fail" because I always learn something new each time I hang. I believe most everyone has had similar experiences, however, anytime you learn...
I used to have a Chevette. I used to tell people, "yeah, I drive a 'vette" :laugh:
Welcome from Lawrenceville, GA!
Welcome from Lawrenceville! I used to live in Commerce back in the 70's and 80's, still know a few folks up that way. Welcome to the addiction!
Welcome to the forums - Sleepless! Glad you are getting some good rest now! The uninitiated don't understand how good sleep is in a hammock, I was somewhat doubtful four years ago until I spent my...
