    Old guy checking in.

    Hey everbody! Well we have to start sometime. Been a tarp and bivi camper for a long time. Very long time. Completely new to hammock camping. As soon as my tax return shows up Blackbird 1.1 Double will be ordered. My friend RoundBear suggested that I join this forum to learn all I could learn. Also, Adam of Hammock Gear suggested the same thing. So here I am. Happy to be a member here.

    I don't think hammocking would be as much fun without this site and everyone here to help and give you ideas. You know you're into this when you start modding your gear.
