Thank you all for the warm welcome! I look forward to learning a lot here. I had been lurking for a couple of weeks and you all seem like a great bunch of people! I'm going to give this hanging thing a try next week at a local state park, just for one night. Then in a couple of weeks I'm off to Uwharrie National Forest for 3 days. Once again thanks for the welcome!

Hello from the furthest away part of NC

I have driven through or past Whittier on 74 quite a few times on my way to Upper Tellico, beautiful country up there!

Welcome from Monroe. It was funny because I don't have all the gear I want/need, but I thought I had at least what I needed to go backpacking... until I found out I was going to go into a different direction. I had just made a trip to REI garage sale and got 2 great deals on some tents. Yes I said tents. I now think maybe I will sell them for more hammock money.

I like to look at it like there are no experts, just varying degrees of people that know more then others. Expert seems so final. There are so many new things that pop up and other people take those and make them either better or at least better suited for themselves.

I was kinda jokin', I do have a lot of camping gear though! I just want to make things simpler and start going solo. As it stands now when I go camping I have to remove the backseat from my Jeep and use a hitch hauler to carry everything (including firewood)! I am going to get that down to a backpack and a small cooler, so I can take off and go at anytime!

I agree, there are new things popping up all the time, kinda like hammock camping for me. I'd never thought about spending the night in the hammock before and I had never seen anybody doing it. It's a great way to minimize!
