    Getting Started...

    Hello Hammock Forums! I'm a casual backpacker in the VA/WV region, and I'm excited to learn more about all this! Really, I've been lurking on here for a while, especially in the last couple weeks since trying out my new hammock, where I did have a few surprises. I'll be posting a thread in the bottom insulation section a little later so keep an eye out!

    Thanks!

    At any rate, welcome to the forum.

    It's a reference to Conan the Barbarian. Crom was the diety, if you will. The Riddle of Steel was theme of the story more or less.
