    Smile Whats Up Everyone! - Newcomer -

    Hi there everybody, you can call me Leebums, just joining the hammock community for the first time. I have been looking around at some older posts as well as watching alot of YouTube videos and many of google searches.
    I enjoy the great outdoors and love to camp, kayak, hunt, fish, etc...
    I cannot get enough of it.

    The reason I joined the Hammock Forums was to become alot more educated in the hammock field and understand each and every compenent of the different types of hammocks.

    I will be making another thread shortly about my concerns and questions, about hanging in general, as well as more detailed questions about Hennessey Hammocks.

    Thanks for reading, look forward to learning and growing with new friends and family!

    Welcome to HF.
    You will find this is a great place to hang out.
    Ask away, people around here love to help.
    Hopefully you have come across Shug's videos and I really recommend Derek's book - Ultimate-Hang-Illustrated-Hammock-Camping-ebook.
    I think it is by far the easiest way to get up to speed on most of the hammock info. It is an absolute steel at the $4 kindle price and a true bargin at the book price.

    Welcome, The best advice I can offer is to find a group hang in your area before you buy (your allowed one time in a you know the "T" word). You will be able to see and try lots of different hammocks and set ups. I did not do this and it would have saved a lot of time and money, however if you have plenty of time and money never mind.
