    Hi from SE Tennessee

    Well I've been tent hiking for years (mainly in East Tennessee on the AT and in surrounding areas) but I've recently slowed down to only a couple of hikes a year due to the arrival of my baby boy. I got the chance to try out someone else’s hammock on the last trip I was on and loved it, and since most of the trips I take now are extended weekend trips (mainly to fly-fish) I'm thinking I don't really need a tent anymore.

    I've got a quick weekend hike coming up at the end of April and I'm trying to do a little research on which hammock would be best for me. Unfortunately I'm tall and fat so my choices are limited. Plus I'm still a little hesitant because I mainly prefer to sleep on my stomach and side.

    It looks like I may have a lot of reading to do over the next couple of days but thankfully this seems to be a pretty knowledgeable forum!

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Cumberland Plateau isn't too far from you and one awesome hiking. Fly fishing... Not so much!
    Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
    Healthy, free, the world before me,
    The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
