    New from Hawaii

    Hey all. Just found this forum and decided to hang out with the cool people. I'm currently living in Hawaii and I'm excited about getting into hammock camping. My only experience has been with a friend's Hennessy, so that's what I just ordered on Amazon (Expedition ASYM). Should be here on Monday, and I'm planning a three day hike on the Ko'olau Summit Trail (KST) in January. I'm looking forward to learning more tips and tricks about DIY hammocks and other gear.

    Hello,

    Welcome to the forum from California.

    I am envious that you are from Hawaii. I think hammocks are perfect for Hawaii weather and ecology.

    Try to put some pictures up of your set up so we can comment and help you with your setups.

    Happy Hanging.

    Hammocks are perfect for Hawaii! I can't wait to try it out on the ridge line. I will definitely take lots of photos of my hike to post here. I will try and document everything about my setup so I can get advice/tips for future trips as well. I will also keep my tumblr site updated with new pictures at http://likestohikes.tumblr.com/ . I will be doing the same hike for the first day and extending on the same ridge as the photos on my blog for an additional day. Can't wait!

    Welcome from Indiana!
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."
