Hello from southeast TX. I live in The Woodlands, about 40 miles north of downtown Houston, with my wife and three daughters (5, 8, & 11). My wife has been a hammock camper for a year or so, but I always preferred (or thought I preferred) tent camping. I like the feeling of being enclosed in a tent, so I didn't have much interest in trying a hammock. I hurt my back many years ago and when I woke up on our most recent camping trip it took me a couple days to recover from being on the ground. I tried my wife's hammock one night at home, and I was converted! I woke up in the morning and my back felt great!
My first hammock and underquilt arrived yesterday, and I plan on testing it out tonight. It's supposed to dip to about 41 degrees tonight with a slight breeze, which is about the coldest temperature we like to camp in. It will be a good test for my 40-deg underquilt and topquilt. Here's looking forward to lots of comfy nights hiking and camping with the family...
