    Hoping for Hammock Time

    I'm pretty new to hammocks, but have learned a lot already.
    I just converted one of my ENO setups to use Amsteel Whoopie slings and am excited to try it out.

    I still have some bugs to work out though, and have posted them on here, so any suggestions ya'll have, please feel free!

    I'm a Minnesota boy and thoroughly enjoy the outdoors.

    I'm definitely hoping for more hammock time before the harsh MN winters come!

    Welcome to HF from Mass. Don't let the winter scare you out of your hammock! Check out some of Shug's videos on hanging in the winter.

    You need to get acquainted with Shug, who is also from your neck of the woods. I think he does his best hammocking in the MN winters.

    Enjoy and welcome to the forum from west Texas.

    Welcome. I grew up in a little town 100 miles north of Minneapolis, 60 miles south of Duluth. Make it back there at least once a year.
