Howdy! 39 years old and I just started using a hammock a couple of months ago. Hopeing to use my new Eno and Whoopies during my upcoming 2 week vacation(bike tour/family road trip) to NorCal. I started using a hammock to help out with my GERD problems while camping. And it just looks like alot of fun. Been a lurker here for a couple months also. Learned alot from y'all so far. Look forward to experiencing and learning more. Great site overall. I think I may be addicted.

Hello and welcome.

Also, be sure to check out Shug's videos as they are usually what draw a lot of people to this forum and are also a huge wealth of knowledge.

Welcome to HF!

Thank you for the welcomes. I actually stumbled into Shug's videos on Youtube while looking for instructional videos. At the time I didn't know he was a member of the forums. Then I noticed his posts a week later. He certainly is an ambassador for hammocking(is that a word?). I followed a link to the forums from Just Jeff's page.

Welcome Espressotarde! Am new here myself but I guess we can welcome each other even though we just entered the door, can't we?

Got here due to Shuggie Shug's hammocking clips too -- was looking for more hammocking-knowledge. Have fun sucking in all that knowledge here at HF!

Whooooo Buddy Espressotarde .... I like your name and am sipping some espresso right now.
Glad you found your way here ......
JustJeff's site is a treasure trove of knowledge ... I return there often!
