    new... sort of

    Hello All.

    About me: I've tried hammock camping before and couldn't get it to work out, but I'm gonna give it another try. On my last camping trip I realized I had way too much stuff just for sleeping on the ground, and trying to be comfortable, and it still didn't work. I came home and made myself a hammock immediately.

    I hope to figure this out, seems like the bees knees.

    Welcome from Alabama. You might try to attend some local hangs or find other hangers in your area to get some advice or help. If you go to a hang, you will get to see all kinds of hammock gear and get to try out different things until you find the right one for you. Just don't give up on hanging until you spend some time with it. Ask questions on here and you will find that the folks here are more than willing to help. Happy hanging !!!

    Welcome back, from Ohio. I would totally agree with trying to attend a group hang. It's a good place to ask questions, have others see how you laying and what your doing to help out and make some lasting friendships to boot.
