Hello hangers! I am relatively new to backpacking and hammocking, though I went camping a lot as a kid. I am a redditor and found this site and others through the /r/hammocks. It didn't take me long to get hooked on hammocks and ultralight backpacking and I have mostly been reading up on all the DIY info and watching some great videos from Shug and Grizz. I am amazed at what this community has done in terms of refining the hammock into what seems a truly efficient sleep system. I try to be frugal when possible and am wondering the best way to get into all this for minimal cost. I have basically no gear so I think that I'm in a good situation to just start lightweight. Is it worth it to find a sewing machine and jump into DIY projects instead of buying expensive gear?
