    Hi from the Bluegrass

    Great forum, joined up because I have backpacked for a while and have a ENO hammock that I have only used for car camping, and I said to myself this looks like a good idea better than a tent and or a bivy bag aka body bag.

    Welcome fellow Kentuckian. You will enjoy the hammock, like I was told when I was introduced to to hammocking " Once you sleep in a hammock you'll never sleep on the ground again".

    Welcome, Jason. There's a hang scheduled in the Gorge for Memorial Day weekend. That would be a great opportunity to see different set-ups and check out other gear.
