    hey from high point

    hey y'all,

    this is a superior forum and i am very thankful for all the members and their willingness to share their knowledge about hammock dwelling.

    i've been listening to all the tech tips and preferences afforded by this and other sources and i have decided to get back to nature without nature getting to my back.
    i spent a lot of time hiking and camping all over western carolina and the piedmont of nc as a ground dweller. these days my body tells me i should rise above and levitate.
    i am about to order a couple of hennessy hammocks for my wife and myself. we have several good sites on our property to do some experimental outings. i believe getting things worked out close to home will enhance the whole experience for us.

    thanks for all of your advice and i/we have learned a lot from your r&d.
    we hope someday our trails will cross with yours.

    Welcome to HF. Testing and perfecting your set up close to home is a wise decision. Keep us posted on your progression from ground dweller to hammock hanger.
