    Intro from SE Washington

    Greetings HF,
    Dan here, from SE WA. Got back into backpacking (tent) 6 years ago and stumbled across this hammocking thing last summer. After much lurking on this site, JustJeff's and others I decided the hammock might be the cure to my restless ground sleeping due to the aches in my old shoulders and hips after a long day on the trail. Got my 1st hammock and after 1 night I was totally sold. Never going to the ground again, not intentionally anyway.

    Great forum and I really appreciate the tons of information and experience that is shared here - thanks!

    Welcome to HF, DanD76! I am catercorner(sp?) across the country from you, in the mid-south. But, I had a sweet trip hanging in the Olympics a couple of years back. The huge trees were a challenge, but we still managed to find some small enough to wrap webbing around. Got no hassle at all from the ranger at Olympic guard station. Great country!

    Welcome!

    Lots of people got into hammocking when they got back into backpacking... including me!
