Hello from Columbia Heights, MN

[TheNoob]

I'm a noob from the cities i just started buying gear i joined to find information on gear and tricks of the trade. i plan on buying one thing a paycheck hoping i will have all the gear by spring. If theirs is a group of people or person's willing to show me the ropes and advice on beginner gear i would appreciate it. i just order the gossamer gorilla 40 pack and planing on buying a hammock next. any advice would be great thank you

Hello and welcome from Marietta GA.

My advice is always to take your time in making gear decisions and do good research. Perhaps instead of buying a piece of gear every paycheck, set some aside and purchase once you've reached a decision. That's a nice pack you have there!

Happy hanging!

Maybe start perusing here....https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...Hammock-Setups
Enjoy the process.

Thanks John
I try to read reviews from other people and pick a few from their and watch YouTube reviews and then make my decision weighing the pros and cons.

Thanks again!!

I started hammock camping in the spring and learned a lot from YouTube - especially Shug's videos. I've managed to sleep outside in my hammock at least 1 night a week. Like anything, doing is the best way to learn. Group hangs are a great way to get help in figuring problems out. And of course there is this forum...
