Newbie Near Dallas

[tatu77]

Hello All. My name is Ryan and I just got my first hammock. I bought an ENO DN and bug net as an impulse buy at my local REI. After playing with it for a while, and returning the slapstraps, I started researching hammocks and found this site. Its been great, but I now have a wish list that is getting expensive.

I am waiting on some suspension straps from Warbonnet. When those get here, I want to get out on some overnights.

Any suggestions for good spots near DFW?

Also, need some advice for some other camping/backpacking gear. I have some gear from back in the day, but needs some updating.

Thanks for all the advice!

Ryan

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...

Cole...me too...I ordered the straps from Warbonnet for the ENO...My plan is to try it out, and if I really get into it, order a WBBB and keep the ENO for backup/backyard
