    future hanger from va beach VA

    Hi my name is jeremy and me and my brother recently got back into backpacking. We used to go with my pops when we were younger but that was 14 or so years ago. Now we are in our middle 20's with our own kids and wanted them to experience some of what we experienced. We have packed ramseys draft wilderness three times in the last year (once in two feet of snow). Have been researching hammocks for the past month for an upcomming trip in may and thought id join the site since it appears that there is alot of useful info on here and a place i could get questions answered should any arise. Anyhow just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

    Welcome to the forum! I grew up in your area, mainly Norfolk. Have family in Great bridge. Getting out with your kids is whats it all about. Good luck into your journey into hammock camping.

    Welcome Twotaps. I've only visited VA Beach to run the half-marathon but that town is a whole lot of fun. That was before this whole hammock thing so now I wish I got to see more of the area. Update us with some trip reports after your May hang and enjoy HF as there is a ton of information here from some great folks.

    Gunner always calls it "madness", my wife would agree. Welcome to the pile of nuts that gather at the base of trees!

    You are very close to Jacks R Better, as Peter Pan noted. Great guys who can definitely show you "hammock stuff" first hand. Take advantage of that close proximity!

    Welcome to the world above the ground. Hanging in the trees will be some of the best sleeping you have ever done while camping.
