Hello Hammock Forum Hangers,
It’s Bruciehi5 here, your brand new Hammock Forum member!
First, thank you to the people who run this website! Thanks to this site’s content,
I have been able to find some pretty good hiking gear on the Net.
Second, I am equally thankful to the people who type, or make video, product
reviews and post them here on Hammock Forums.
My very most top favorite thing about this site is the Trail Reports! The terrain,
the camp sites, and of course, the tarp to under pad/quilt run down of hammock
set ups.
A special thanks to the one, the only, the nuttiest of nuts, the grand daddy of
silliness... The Shugemery! His contribution to the wonderful world of hanging
out in the woods is second to none!
My two favorite hiking places are Mount Barney NP for its hills and creeks and
Lamington NP for its rainforest and views. Both are about an hour and a half
easy drive. Favorite kayaking place is The Upper Noosa River, just over two
hours drive. Hammock camping and kayaking are a good mix. If you’re
interested, I wrote a review on my kayak. You can find it by doing a search
for: Greg’s AirFusion Kayak Maiden Voyage
I’ve been doing some buying and have made a little list of the things I have bought
that I consider to be of at least good quality. I have bought a few, not listed, duds,
but far fewer than would have been the case if it wasn’t for this website.
Anyway, thanks again and I look forward to the next video review and or trail report!
Happy hanging!
Bruciehi5
P.S. I’ve uploaded a slideshow that shows some of the hangs I’ve done with my
HH and my newish BMBH. It’s in the Trip Report section and it’s called,
Hammock Slideshow. Dur: 2:51sec.

I’ve got my eye on the new HH Hyperlight A-SYM Zip. It’s 25% lighter than the
Ultralite and it’s a side entry job.
