    Newbie from Atlanta

    Hey there! I'm Adrien from just outside of Atlanta. I've been reading up on the forums for a few months now, so I decided out was about time to introduce myself to you wonderful people! I got my ENO Double nest over the summer, and very quickly switched over to whoopie slings. I know plenty of people with the tried and true slap straps, but at that price, I knew there had to be better out there. And thus, I found this forum!

    My interest really got piqued when my friends and I started making plans to hike a section of the AT this summer. I figured that now was as good a time as any to get my hammock setup together! I'm currently searching for the right insulation and tarp system for my thin budget, and am very much looking forward to becoming a more active member of the community!

    This is where the answers are. Pick the right forum and ask away. Welcome and good luck.

    Welcome from someone who grew up in Conyers but now lives in Florida. I'm also thinking about doing a section of the AT this summer as well. I hope you find what you're looking for as far as input on tarps, insulation, etc.
