    Hey From Orlando!

    Hey all. I've actually been a member for close to a month now, but never got around to posting here.

    My name is Aaron Jenness. Jesus is my Savior. I'm 25 years old and I am very close to graduating from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Creative Writing. I first saw a camping hammock three summers ago while working at a summer camp in North Carolina. Been going back the past three years to work and I finally decided to buy my own because they seemed fun!

    I'm more of traditional athlete than an outdoorsman. But luckily I have a roommate who is an eagle scout and who is getting me excited about hiking and backpacking and such. So although I have never done much hiking and camping together, it is only a matter of time. And I look forward to being able to sleep in my hammock the next time I go, rather than sleeping on the floor of a tent, which is just no fun.

    Looking forward to continuing to learn from the masters here!
    Be blessed!

    Welcome aboard from Lakeland. Lot of group hangs coming up when the temps moderate. Keep an eye out for the planning threads and try for the 3 Annual hang in Ocala NF in Jan.

    These should give you some idea of what we are doing.

    Welcome to the forum!

    As Olddog said, come to the 3rd Annual Florida Hang in January (held MLK weekend). There is typically between 50-100 hangers there, so you can ask all the questions you've ever wondered and see probably every variety of rig there is.

    In the meantime, keep an eye out for hangs in Central Florida. A good place to keep an eye on is the Florida Hangers Facebook page if you've not already discovered that.

    And of course here on the forums are the nicest most helpful folks I've ever known.

    Thanks, Gumbo and crackrbilly!

    Currently I have no Facebook, so I'll be looking here for most of my info on central Fl hangs!

    And crackr, that's awesome! Hopefully we can pull off the upset today. I don't really care much about college football, but I do pull for the Knights!
