    Hanging in Va

    Hi all , I got turned on to hammock camping from my brother . Im just now starting to look into changing up my rig . Ive watched the guys I camp with change things all around over the last few years . Also looked around the forum here for info . I pretty much find all the answers I need right here.
    I enjoy hunting and a little fishing when time allows . I try to get out once a month to camp . I do enjoy learning woodsey type skills , I just enjoy being out in the woods . Im hoping to get into some hiking this year , so Im on the look out for gear , and advise . Currently Im using a HH with the HH hex , Ive just been using the suspension that came with it. I had the zipper mod done by ZQ , so glad I did . For now Im doing the foam pad setup and a sleeping bag . I stay warm enough but its heavy and bulky . I just ordered a UC from Hammock Gear and some Whoopies . Can't wait till they come in , looking forward to more warmth , less weight. Figured I should say hi since Ive been looking through here for a bit now.

    Welcome from Fredericksburg!
    There are very few problems we can solve ourselves, but there is almost nothing we cannot solve together.

    Most often when someone says they can't, they are unwilling to try.

    welcome!

    Its alot of fun, always somethin to learn. Ive changed my WBB suspension with whoopies and dutchware.
    Its fun tinkering with different combinations. As far as hiking and bush craft they all go hand in hand. If you decide to become a donating member there are several threads you cant see about off topic things like that. There is a couple hangs in the NOVA area coming up..check them out.
