Whatever it will be when I'll be 67 -- I hope I will be courageous enough to give it a try!

Welcome, and thank you for your service. Two weeks ago I hiked & hung/ hanged? on my first outing with 2 gentlemen, both amazing in their own rights, the 1st 8 years old and hiked 13+ miles barefoot the 2nd 70 years old and on his way to his next leg of the AT. Two months ago I had no idea what hammocking entailed, now I can't get enough.

Semper Fi Mac!
You'll find that hammock camping is much more comfortable than most of the time in the field back in the Corps. (Unless you were an Air Winger!)
I converted over to hammocks last year after a couple of years of tent camping with my son's Scout troop. Older bones feel a lot better in the morning after a night in the hammock.
