    Live report- first hang

    Wish my phone took better pics- I'll have to describe where I am: In Shenandoah Nat. Park. Big Meadows right next to the AT... Bright, Beautiful moon. Tree branches extending upward like fingers trying to touch the face of God. Hanging in my new WBBB w/ my 3S incubator UQ- comfy- first hang ever.

    I can't believe it took me over 25 years of camping to discover this level of comfort...

    Thank you Hammock Forums!

    Know the area well.... a bit jealous hearing your report as I'm at work right now! Enjoy the day! Well deserved I'm sure!

    Blackberry Milkshakes at the Big Meadows grill are awesome!!

    Sounds great. Hope you finished well. I won't soon forget my first overnight hang, since I hadn't found this forum before that. Ah, the things you can learn here!
