    Viva La Hammock!

    Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I just bought my first hammock this year, unfortunately late in the warm season. Not sure if I'm gonna be getting into winter hammocking but lookin forward to spring. I started getting interested in bushcrafting this year and didn't want to do the whole tent thing. Once I saw a hammock setup on a website I knew that was the way for me. If anyone is close to Kettering Ohio hit me up.

    Welcome to the forums!
    Can't blame you for being hesitant about winter hanging; takes a certain breed to jump right into that stuff. By next year, you'll be chomping at the bit for a good hard freeze. So there's hurry.
    Trust nobody!

    I picked up a Hammock Bliss with attatched mosquito net. Will prob get somethin a little more compact on down the road but I'm hooked on the hammocks.

    Thanx, I think some of the videos that got me interested in hammocks were from a guy that did some tarp talk videos. Is that you?
