Hello everyone, names Richard. About 7 yrs ago I read the book "awol on the Appalachian trail" and fell in love with the idea of backpacking. 5 years, and a set of twins later (my first kids) I found myself @ the age of 40 wondering into the woods alone. 5 years of research had taught me 2 things, go light and invest in those who know...so I made sure my equipment was what fit me best. I bought from the cottage industry supporting companies like ula, tarptent and enlightened equipment. In two years, with a busy life, I proudly wracked up 118 miles. Then it happened...I found someone who changed my whole view on backpacking. Shugemery.
Hammocks. No more ground sleeping, more comfort...what?!?!?! A built in lounge chair. So here I am 2 years later with 100's of hours of YouTube watched, many sites visited, I am ready to pull the trigger....but first I have questions lol. Hope to see you in the forums and maybe find some new friends who are close, with whom I can learn the ropes.
