Newbie in California

I am a newbie to hammock camping and DIY gear making. I am fascinated by all of this. I've alread made a HH Clone and slept in it last weekend. I loved it. I just kind of clipped an old down comforter under the hammock as an underquilt and was nice and toasty all weekend. I don't know how cold it got though but think it was in the 50s.

Welcome to more information than you can shake a stick at. Or two trees.

Hey there...It's great to hear that there are more local hangers!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it to you, but in just a week a whole bunch o' hammock campers are planning an outing to Henry W. Coe park.

It'll probably be a great place to try stuff out, see other people's gear, get ideas for your next project, etc.
