    Greetings from Northwest Florida

    My name is chris and I've only recently come up for air since gorging on hammock forums for a few weeks.
    I first bought an ENO on a whim and it didn't stop there.

    I've spent countless hours DIYing hammocks, quilts, tarps, whoopie slings, stuff sacks, ridgeline organizers (all to the dismay of my wife but my two girls 5 & 7 love it)

    I'm almost at the end of my DIY bing and have nearly outfitted my entire family with gear. I have only a few official hangs under my belt, but with the help of everyone here (and some serious search tool use) I have had an excellent experience on each one.

    Thanks to all that have been here before me. What a great community of people that love to share ideas and encourage other. I hope to bring some innovation or to inspire others like you have inspired me.

    --chris

    Pic of my girls and I doing a test hang for the hammocks that we just made. All sized to fit the person.

    haha.. yeah you see that. I know now this is not a proper statement.
    I now have two quilts for just me.. and I'm about to make some aptly sized ones for the girls.

    I'm in the Destin area for reference.

    When/where will there be a hang "locally"?

    Welcome from South Florida!
    Be sure to attend the 5th Annual Florida Hang, 3rd weekend in January at Ocala National Forest. Read about it under "Outings" sub-forum.
