    Hello from MN

    I've been backpacking for many years, casually hanging for a few years (I started with an HH to escape my viciously snoring tentmates), and I am interested in adapting my hammocking habits to a lighter and more frequently used setup.

    I did most of my hiking in the southeast as I lived in South Carolina for the past few years, so I am deprived up in these cornfields and I need to get some winter gear going!

    I've been reading through the threads for a few weeks. I love the ideas! I am interested in making my own gear...light light light.

    I take offense to that! We have plenty of awesomeness in MN. Does SC have 10,000 lakes? I didnt think so. Haha, WELCOME!

    Hi jago0020! Welcome to your new addiction of hammock hanging. I'm also from Thief River Falls but now live in Woodbury, MN. It's nice to see a fellow TRF hanger!
