    Greetings From The Midwest

    Specifically where IL meets MO in the middle of nowhere. Just bought my first hammock and was turned onto the idea of a new style of camping. I can't wait to try it out. I will be looking for the Gear Ideas and How To threads.

    If anyone wants to be helpful and post some in here, that would be greatly appreciated.

    To clarify, I am a hardcore hammock camping noob. I literally just got turned onto this scene. I have no idea what a ridgeline is or what it's for. And that's why I am here.

    Welcome to the site. Just set aside about 25 hours a day to cruise the site to take in the info. If you have specific questions, just drop them in the appropriate section. There will always be someone to have a quality answer.

    Welcome to HF from Mass. You came to the right place to get all of your hammock questions answered. If you have not done so already, check out Shug's video series for Hammock How To's for Noobs!

    Thanks!

    I did watch the first of Shug's videos, but that's it so far. I am totally lost here. I essentially just have a hammock and nothing else. I don't know what what kind of suspension to buy and from where, how to set up a ridgeline, etc.

    And yes, I have already been cruising the forums for about 4 hours now! So much for getting my weekend projects done. :P
