    New Hanger - Texas

    My name is Kevin. I am a new hanger. I currently have an ENO setup. Here is a picture of my first hang at Big Thicket National Preserve from last week - hammock.jpg

    Welcome Kevin! Looks to me like you are well down the path of hammock camping. We have a group hang planned for this weekend disguised as a hike:
    Goodwater Loop, April, 5-7, Georgetown Texas
    That's only three hours from MoBel!

    I need to get out East more, I missed Caddo this year and your picture just makes it worse... The bowed tree frames it very nicely!

    Re: New Hanger - Texas

    Welcome to the insanity... South Texan here... It's my fault the goodwater hang is taking place... We would love to have you at that event or any other one we plan... There is usually one a month somewhere in Texas... Rather that's an hour from you or 8 hours from you, well that's living in Texas for you...

    Welcome to the forum.

    I just have one question. How did you get that tree to bend that way so's you could hang your hammock. I mean I've built lean-to's before but that one really takes the cake.
