Hello Everyone,
I'm new to hammocks (at least the ones you camp in). I've never done much camping either, though I've lived in a military tent for days, weeks, or months at a time. I was intrigued when I saw some folks hanging from the trees in a local park. While doing some research I discovered hammock camping and have become enthralled with it. I have not gone camping yet, but plan on doing it once the weather cools off a bit.

Welcome from Texas! Glad to have you on the forum. You will find lots of advice on making your first hang a good one. It only took me one try to move from tents to hammocks exclusively.

Welcome form Montgomery, not too far south of you. I have camped over at Chewacla State Park there in Auburn before. Not my favorite place, but not too bad. They have a few nice trails to hike.

Welcome to HF from Bama (Gadsden)..............keep an eye out on the forum for the group hangs that will take place this fall and "winter" around the SE. They are a great place to meet people and to see/try other gear.

Welcome,from Auburn. I live in Ga. but work on "The Plains". Have you chosen a hammock yet?
If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
aboyd: I was thinking of making my first hammock camping expedition to Chewacla.
ewok: I plan on getting a Hennessy Expedition Asym hammock with the zipper soon.

Cool. That's what I have (sans zipper) I think you'll like it. Every time I lay in mine I go to sleep. If you are going to order from Hennessy go with a larger than stock tarp. Something like the hex.
