    Hello from East Coast

    I use East Coast as a general term because I'm from WV, lived in VA most of my life, but last year was relocated to Tampa, FL for work. I'm actively trying to get back to the mountains I love and sorely miss in VA. I'm a newbie to hammock camping, and have been doing tons of reading up on it (mostly on reddit.com & the book The Ultimate Hang). I still haven't purchased my gear yet because while I shop frugally, I try to make the best educated choice on my gear so it will last me as well as not break the bank. Expect more questions from me in the future

    Welcome from Gainesville!

    Look for group hangs to come up during the fall and winter down here; most folks're smart enough (not me, unfortunately...) to stay indoors during the summer.

    Feel free to PM me with any specific questions you have. I'll do my best to answer them!

    Welcome from SC. Good luck with your research and gear purchases. Go to a hang and check out the gear there and do lots of research before you purcahse, it will save you money in the end.

    Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
    The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
    while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
