    Hello from N. Kentuckyo

    Friend turned me onto the idea of hammocks, been a tent camper my whole life, but can't figure out how to easily pack a cot when not car camping. Figure this might be a good choice, still haven't decided what to do for first hammock, looking at either getting a warbonnet or tree to tree slingback.

    Wanting to do some bike camping with the dog this summer.

    Hey there Lost! Howdy from across the river in Cincy. You might try coming to a local hang. (Check the "trips" section in the forum.) There you can take a gander at everybody's rig. It'll give you some ideas. And for certain, check out ole' Shug's videos here on HF. You'll love 'em!

    Welcome,

    Home Run

    Sounds like an idea there, was actually looking at the trips section to see if anything was being planned. Definitely would like to see some setups while I try to figure out what to buy.

    We're trying for a spring hang at Mammoth Cave. That might be a haul from Wilder though.
