    newbie

    Hi folks,
    Just wanted to say hello. My partner and I started hammock camping last year and haven't looked back since. I'm currently in a hennessy and she is in an eno. This summer we were fortunate enough to spend a full week of kayaking and camping in the great state of Alaska. I can't tell you how many looks our camp got from the tent campers and RV folks. We both agree we will never go back to tent camping again. We both slept better in our week of hammock camping than at any other time on the three week trip to the state. I've been looking over the forum on this sight since last spring and have watched all of Shug's videos. All I can say is... This is AWESOME!!!

    Woot! I'm glad you had a great time. I spent two years in Alaska and love that country, especially in the summer

    Now, all you need to do is post some pictures of your hangs! Did you do much side-by-side or bunk hangs?
