    Hello from New Orleans, LA!

    Hey yall, just started to get into hammock camping and love it so far. My cousin Jordan sort of turned me on to it when we went on a hiking / climbing trip in Tennessee at Twall. It was about 33 degrees out and thought she was crazy but the next morning she said she slept like a bug in a rug unlike me who was tossing and turning on my prolite in my tent. Decided to give it a try and am hooked...I love backpacking and its more practical carrying less weight. You get to enjoy the backwoods more! Have an ENO and a nano 7 with a backwoods daydreamer rectangular tarp that i recently took to Red River Gorge. Splendid! Got a hybrid suspension system on it with webbing cinch buckle setup attached to some amsteel. Ridgeline is amsteel with a figure 9 to adjust. Dont have those fancy newfangled whoopie slings yet. Might have to get me some of those!

    Glad to hear another ground dweller has seen the light and been converted to a tree dweller. Welcome to the forums!

    Plenty places around the Morgan City area. Cypress makes a great base tree. Welcome aboard!
