Howdy Gang,
Great to find this place. I'm starting back into camping/hiking after a 10 year hiatus. (After getting back from Iraq, I just lost interest in all things camping....go figure) I used to be pretty involved in a few Bushcraft type forums that existed at the end of the '90s and early '00s and even moderated a couple of Field Medical sections. (Just as a side note, I am not a Doctor of any kind. I was a Combat Medical Corpsman assigned to the Marines and Doc was the nickname that I picked up.)
Now I'm getting back to what I love and want to give Hammock Camping a go. I picked up a Hennessey Asym (I have no idea if they had an actual model name back in 2000) and played around with it a bit but it was too short for my 6'2" #230 size. (Not exactly a tiny frame)
Now it's time to start looking at various options and get my butt hanging.
Glad to see that there is now an entire forum and tons of experience here for me to draw upon before I spend my hard earned money.
Also hope to find some folks to hang with here in South Central Texas.
Can't wait to dive in.
Doc
