    Hi from new member!

    Hi! I just came across this forum while researching a little outdoor item. Awesome! Hammock camping. I'm going to try it, as soon as the weather warms up a bit. Seems to me that's when it would be best, to keep cooler in a hotter climate such as Georgia. It just makes sense. Most people given the economic opportunity sleep in a bed, not on the floor. So why should campers settle for the ground...

    Welcome David, you will soon learn it's not just for warm weather enjoyment.

    Welcome from Denver and Merry Christmas!

    While hanging can certainly be done (and many love to) in the cold, warm weather is a good time to start as the insuation (which is the hardest part to dial in) becomes less of an issue.

    My first experience of hammock camping was near 0 degrees in the snow and it was great. Made me enjoy it all the more. Dont be afraid to dive in and try it out!
