    Greetings from Ontario

    Hi there!

    I came across this forum a little while ago while on a hunt for a DIY lightweight bug net solution. What a great collection of information! You all have tons of fantastic ideas.

    My boyfriend and I bought our first hammocks this summer with the intention of using them in addition to our tent for relaxation instead of bringing camp chairs. After using them on our week-long killarney trip this month I'd really like to sleep in them and avoid the tent all together. I can't wait to get some info from all of you on how best to do that!

    Welcome to the forum, Poca.

    There is a pretty active group of hangers in the GTA and south western Ontario. Come the fall and winter month we sometime do weekend hangs at Valens Conservation area, which is not too far from where you live.

    Just keep your eye on on the trip planning area for upcoming local group hangs.

    Cheers

    Brian

    Thanks everyone!

    BrianWillan, I know Valens well. We used to go there on school trips all the time. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the trip, that sounds like a great time!

    Hello Poca from Huntsville, Ontario. My wife and I are also recent hammock converts. Welcome to the trees.

    Cheers,

    Hey Poca, welcome to the forums from downtown Toronto.

    As Brian mentioned, there's a pretty good group of Ontario hangers that get together a couple of times a year, for car camping, canoeing and even winter camping. Everyone's welcome and these "hangs" are a fantastic way to see the thousand and one approachs to the common challenge of staying high, dry and comfortable in the Piney Woods..
