    Hello from Florida

    Hello everybody. I found this site from watching Shug's videos on YouTube (thanks for all the information and hours of entertainment at work). I usually go camping and climbing up in Tennesse a few times a year. In the past I've always slept in a tent, but I could never get comfortable even of I was using climbing crash pads as a make shift mattress. My younger brother has slept in his hammock many times on these trips and always has said it is the most comfortable night sleep he has had camping, so I decided to join in on the hanging game. A few weeks ago my HH expedition asym zip arrived from rei along with some new quick draws. I haven't gotten a chance to spend the night in it yet, but I did set it up in my back yard and hung out for a few hours last Sunday. Man oh man is that thing comfy, I can't wait to test it out this weekend up in Obed, TN.

    Welcome aboard from Lakeland. Just stepped back in from outside and it's finally getting nice out there. We have a few smaller group hangs thru the fall/winter/spring season. Here is a link for Florida hangs https://sites.google.com/site/flhangers/
    Most of us end up poorer here but richer for being here. Olddog, Fulltime hammocker, 365 nights a year.

    Sounds like a blast. Was there any foliage left or are the trees bare?
