    Howdy from Michigan

    I grew up RVing with my parents. Once I was in my teenage years I wanted more space so I started tenting on their site. Now that I am married and in my late 20's, we go tent camping. I also really enjoy hiking while camping and hiking at my local Metro and State parks. I've been reading more and more about backpacking and stumbled upon the concept of using a hammock instead of a tent, then I found this forum.

    Can't wait to learn more! I'm thinking DIY might be a good way to go, but I'm new so we'll see where I end up.

    Welcome to a great place and lots of great information

    It's not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,
    But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,
