    Hello from New York!

    Hello, brand spankin' new to the forums. I have been backpacking for quite a few years now, and am looking to shed the 6 pound tent, and replace it with a nice hammock system.

    One small problem. I have absolutely no idea where to start. Any suggestions? Thanks much!

    Welcome to the club. Check out the video section and see Shug's videos on hammocks.
    Take care,

    Well for starters just settle in with a brew or cuppa and start poking around on here.
    Become adept with the "search button"...
    Ask when perplexed.
    Get a hammock and start fooling with it.
    Have fun.

    Just about covered by everyone here to watch Shug's videos. They are entertaining as all get out.

    welcome to HammockForums and hey from high point nc.
    there is a ton of stuff here to read, learn and ask about.
    if it's hammock related it's here or still waiting to be invented.
    hang on and have fun.

    home is where your hammock is.
