    Central Texas Hangers?!

    Howdy yaaall ,
    Ha just kidding. Anyway, I just moved down from Missouri and am actually very new to to the hammock world. Ordered my fist hammock last week and going on my first test run at Lost Maples this weekend. HFs has been soo great in helping me get started... I am posting to all those dedicated Texans to ask where your favorite hanging trips are around here?! Im in North Austin and havn't done a lot of getting out yet. Senior in HS so im taking the summer off before college and ill be getting out a lot then!
    Thanks guys!

    Heart of Texas in Austin

    Mostly hang in the backyard because of work and family but still tons of FUN.

    Bird watching in a bridge hammock is the best!!!!

    Welcome to Texas, Tanner.

    A lot of people like to float the Guadalupe River, which has a state park near you.

    But before you do anything go to the Alamo in San Antonio and take the tour. No one understands Texas until they visit the Alamo.

    Have a great summer!

    Welcome. I'm in the DFW area. You should try to make it out to the Georgetown hang next month. It should be a great time and you can see others set ups. We are going to be doing quite a bit of hiking on that trip, so not sure if that's you thing, but if not, there are lots of great group car camping trips that will be coming up as well. Hope to see you at a hang soon.
    If you ain't havin' fun, you're doin' it wrong
