    I'm hooked... now I'm here.

    I don't remember how exactly it came about, but I decided somewhere in the last several months I wanted to try backpacking. Researching backpacking techniques led me to lightweight backpacking, and lightweight backpacking led me to hammocking... Or something. Maybe it wasn't in that order? I can't remember.

    Google has landed me on this site many times now, and I finally wound up registering.

    So hi!

    Welcome, this is a great place, great people, great resource. Read, read and read some more. You will learn much, question more. It is all good.

    Go ahead and quit your job now. It's going to be a major source aggravation when you're busy reading on the forums.

    You're in MD. Consider yourself invited to the MAHHA. Our Maryland hang! If weather cooperates there may be over 40 hangers and lots of DIY stuff to see and learn. Along with people like me that mostly buy from the cottage businesses.
