    Avid hiker from NYC

    Hey guys,
    After much research using this forum I decided to dive right into the deep end.



    Thanks to all you avid hammockers I was able to make a well-informed decision that I'm happy with. Already spent two nights on the trail and three nights in camp with it... best sleep I ever had.

    I'm a real gear junkie and I hope to contribute back to this wonderful community!

    Welcome. Looks like your set-up is pretty dialed in.

    Welcome! This sounds very much like how I started last weekend, after getting frostbite two weeks before I decided to give it a go, got an advance on Christmas presents and went away for a weekend herding Scouts. Needless to say all went well and I had a pleasant night's sleep.
    Cheers

    As long as that doesn't mean your over your head, that's a good thing.

    Is this one of those Rooftop Gardens that I have been hearing about in NYC
    WOW
