    Congrats on discovering hammocks! One of the best Hobbies I've ever gotten into. I'm from Illinois as well , so jumping in the car and finding a campsite in Wisconsin is nice and easy.(highly recommend it). This forum is full of awesome info and people. Have fun looking around!

    Welcome! Some of us other Illinoisians go to the I&M Canal in Channahon, IL. In fact some are going next weekend. Feel free to come out and check out some setups
    Get lost in the woods and find yourself again. A vacation,to me, is working with your hands and surviving because of the fruits of your labor. In the business world I teach;in the natural world I learn.

    Welcome! I'm a n00b too! - and you're one step ahead... I'm still scoping out hammocks. Have fun - soak up the knowledge, and more importantly - the OUTDOORS!!! It is why we do what we do, whether we're hanging or living on the cold, hard ground.

    Hello right back at you. I whole heatedly agree with you. These folks are awesome. I'm looking forward to getting together on one of the group hangs. Speaking of new adventures I just got the OK from the powers above to take on the AT. I'm looking for partners to go with me. The wife thinks I'm nuts.

    Welcome man, lots of info here, the best thing about hammocks is you can personalize them to suit your preference and finding that preference is half the fun.
