    Intro from NE PA

    It is all your fault! I was satisfied ordering a nice shiny new tent, and came upon these hammock thingymabobs, I am a very poor sleeper even at home and all this about no aches and pains intrigued me. After some research, I did not know one can almost make a hammock flat, I think I am about to place an order for a Warbonnet BB 1.1 double. I looked around for a used BB, to test the waters in a frugal way, but nothing yet. Now I see that there is a hammocking event in Pine Grove Furnace State Park, here in Pennsylvania later this month. You guys are killing me, now I want one before this event so I can set it up and have some slightly intelligent questions to ask at the event.
    So soon I may be starting an addiction and just wanted to introduce myself.
    Thanks all, I found a lot of useful information here.

    If you want, come by the MAHHA and give me a holler. I've got an extra HH Explorer Ultralight side zip you can try out, and use there for the weekend if you want! Actually, if you are interested PM me so I'll save it for you. I'll be there Fri-Sun. I'm also hosting a hammock set up contest and giving a HH Expedition away. You could win a free one.

    There's no such thing as a dumb question, and I'm sure most all at the MAHHA will be glad to let you test out a hammock if you wish. I'll have a GT Utlralight and Warbonnet Traveler there too!

    BTW.. welcome to the forums!

    Hey from Williamsport!!
    Experts are the ones who think they know everything. Geniuses are the ones who know they don't.

    You need seek no rocky summit, for these high places are within you.

    Welcome to the insanity. Hope you make it to the spring MAHHA. Seeing the stuff first hand will help a lot but there will always still be questions.

    We are going to have a PA chapter on here if we get any more PA people on this forum! I learned a lot from the people on this site, you will love it here.
