    Hello From Nashville, TN

    Hello Hammock Forums,
    I'm Greg, a lurker of 6 months and tent camper. I started reading the forums around half a year ago when I met a backpacker using a Hennessy expedition in Picket State Park. Ever since that point I've wanted a hammock, but being the hands on type I decided to go the DIY path rather than buying one. (I'm also a bit of a penny-pinch ) I normally don't post my age on forums because it seems no-one takes a 15 year old seriously(and I really don't blame them), but having seen what the forum is like over the last couple months I have concluded that this is one place where anyone respectful will be welcomed.

    Thanks for having me,
    Greg

    btw I hope I'm not stealing anyone's profile pic. I simply Googled "Hammock" and picked something off the first page

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Hey Hey Hey man! Welcome from Murfreesboro.
    The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.

    The people around here don't care about age. If you have any questions, ask away. If you have something to share, share. You have been around for a little while, so you know the routine.
