    Noob from NC

    I just wanted to stop in and say hello.

    I stumbled upon hammock camping by accident. I was searching youtube and the internet to learn how to make an alcohol stove and by chance I ran across some of Shugs videos. Shortly after that I started wondering if a hammock and tarp might be better than getting a new lightweight tent and sleeping pad.

    Fast forward a few weeks and I reckon I have a new addiction.

    So hello and I hope to meet some of y'all soon.

    Mike

    Welcome from one state to the North. I fell into this addiction much the same way, I shopping for a new tent...did a search on "lightweight camping" and the rest is history.
