    Hello from New England :)

    Hello, I'm new to the hammock world, but not to backpacking/canoe camping. I've always loved the outdoors.

    I ruptured a disc in my back a couple of years ago and it's just not possible to sleep on the ground like I have in the past. I've been doing a lot of research on ultralight backpacking and hammock camping, hoping this may get me back in the woods.

    I'm going on a trip to the Presidential Mountain range in the White Mountains this weekend and I'm looking forward to trying out what I've learned about hammocks...

    I'm looking forward to this new outdoor adventure!

    Welcome from a former New Englander. Oh how I miss the Presidential range and the White Mountains. Say "Hi" to them for me!
