Sup everyone...joined up here to educate myself on Hammocking... I've been hiking and camping for 40 years...I'm fifty...I have no problems being a ground dweller..BUT...I do see some advantageousness to stringing myself up between two trees...
so I begin ..I've been here a week or so now...I was at the Army surplus yesterday...and found my "test unit"..I picked up a TexSport Hobo2..for a whopping $16.99...and 550 for $4.00...
I'll be changing the suspension on it..then I'll play with a few ideas and see what I like and don't like...mostly how I sleep in it...with the hopes of figuring out what systems work for me...what style or hammock I'd like to purchase ... I'll post some pics tomorrow of outta' the box...
this hammock isn't of great quality..nor is it light..not with the steel hooks and 1/2 rope...but it's cheap enough that I don't get stuck with something I don't like...or a sleep system in which I don't like either...but I'm the type that firmly believes .. "Right tool...Right time"....so I'm sure a hammock will find a place in my pack...will I take it on a thru..???..we will all see !!!
looking forward to learning here, sharing my ideas, and photos of my progression into hanging out !!!
