    Greetings from Middle Tennessee

    Hey hey, I'm Andy and I live in Christiana TN, not far from Savage Gulf State Park. I've been backpacking and camping etc all of my life. I had never tried sleeping in a hammock until a year ago and I'll never sleep on the ground again (if I can help it). Since then I've realized there are a lot of hammock enthusiasts all over the place, which is not surprising. I hang daily as a work-from-home-r and try and get out into the woods often. I was turned on to hammocks by a friend who had designed one, now I import and sell those hammocks. I'll post some info about my business in the marketplace section or wherever is appropriate, I have no interest in being 'that guy'. I've been an outdoors junkie decades longer than a hammock business owner lol. I suspect I'll be a nature junkie until I leave this world, hanging in a hammock, feeling that breeze.

    Hammock camping is the best. Its SO hot right now I'm dying for fall to get here, soon enough.

    Cheers!

    Welcome from the land to the north! So lucky to be a daily hanger.
    I would rather be in the woods... my dog would rather be in the pool. My wife thinks we are both nuts.

    I was at Midland-Fosterville and County Line RD from Jan thru April. Pretty country, especially from Christiana to Tullahoma. Never saw Savage Gulf State Park on my map though. I enjoying checking new parks out when on the rode.

    Official name is South Cumberland, I believe. Try that name.

    Welcome from Nashville. Hot? Try 5,000' or 6,000' in the Smokies. Very nice. Was there three weekends last month.

    But true, am looking forward for the Fall, too!!!
