    Hola from San Antonio

    Hey folks, thanks for an excellent and informative site. After spending my entire life sleeping on the ground while camping, a buddy turned me on to hanging while on a 3-day river trip earlier this year. I immediately went out and bought an ENO Doublenest and had the best night's sleep ever while camping, despite my lousy suspension job. I am now hooked on hammocking and will never camp on the ground if I can help it (a great deal of my backcountry forays are in the deserts of the Big Bend region of Texas, so I won't be able to completely leave ground sleeping).

    Thanks to the excellent info on this site, I am in the process of re-fitting my Doublenest and building a real suspension system. Plans are in the works for a continuous ridge line tarp system as well.

    I look forward to learning more from this site, and hopefully being able to contribute as my knowledge base grows.
