    Up and coming "Hanger" in South Carolina

    Hi everyone,

    I use the name "Swampbilly" on this Forum and was referred to it by another member here, WFR...a good fellow I came to know through another Forum of interest and shared a short fishing trip with once, introducing me to the Chattooga River.

    Recently, I contacted him about his prior postings about his hammock camping experiences and he's been really helpful in answering questions and making recommmendations. Part of that information leading me to join this board and review, what I can only describe as a treasure trove of Hammock camping knowledge and real world experiences. It has been really helpful.

    So, I'm still in the research phase in desire to make as right for me, and quality, purchases in hammock camping equipment. I have done quite a bit of tent camping, hiking, and mountain stream fishing outings in the past...but the Hammock aspect has recently really peaked my interest.

    I am really glad to see there is such as active group of Hangers in South Carolina. So, soon should move from the equipment selection phase to Newbie phase. Until then, just wanted to say hello and thanks for providing such a great site to review on this topic.


    Kindest Regards,

    Swampbilly

    Welcome SWAMPBILLY!

    WFR is "my other brother from a different mother"! +1 on your comment about him being a fine fella.

    Hope you can make the upcoming Chatooga Hang, it would be good to meet you and help you empty your bank account on some new gear
