Thanks Shnick. I was scoping the Texas State Parks too...I used to go to Camp Dorris in OK, but don't want to be 4 hours from home on the first few test runs...

Oh and congrats on your purchase, Welcome to the ENO Clan!
I been looking at the Wichita Mountains as a next expedition site, might do a three day tour there someday.

Whats your backyard look like? I have a Slash Pine Tree and one fence post in the backyard (I trust the tree more) and use it for short term testing and basic rigging setups, but testing gear out in the field is the best way to go. Prep, pack, use, evaluate, toss or modify, try again.

That goes for pretty much all you bring. If it works, keep it in your pack, if it don't, send it to me...

There are no trees in Dallas! Come to Arkansas

Sorry for the slow response, no computer at home.
I recommend Mineral Wells State Park. There's good hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, and both the car camping and the primitive area has some trees.
Cheers,
Gospidey.

Agreed you can always take the short trip to Arkansas to hang.
