    Incoming has been talking to me for a long time about hammock camping and this weekend I took the plunge. I looked at the reviews here before I made my purchase so thank you all for that.

    After 46 years of sleeping on the ground I will have to admit I am hooked... err... hung!

    Here is a photo of my first hang.



    I look forward to learning even more from you all.

    Welcome from Lawrenceville, GA. Looks like a great spot! Would love to be there with ya! Yeah, once you take the plunge - it's all over. Since I started hanging a couple years ago, I've had the best sleep on camp outings and feel great when I wake up. I love it!
