    Hello from Illinois!

    Hello! These forums were recommended by another member as a great source of info. I camp several times a year...After my last trip, I think I'm done sleeping on the ground. I think you hammock guys have a better idea. I'm here mostly for research purposes as I track down gear to purchase or make that will work for my 6'2", 250-lb. frame.

    In my non-camping time I'm an IT guy for a Federal research lab, and my other hobbies are music, cars, firearms, woodworking...Generally anything handy.

    Hey Hemi426--that would be CERL, or USGS Water Science Center, or ... ? If the latter I can hit your building from my building with a well thrown baseball. I'm at CSL. I got a bunch of hammocks possible as loaners.

    Hey! Checkout the Midwest hangs. We do a monthly hang and often it's in Channahon, il
    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.
