    Hello from Northern VA

    Hello folks. I'm totally new to hammocks and hope to learn from all the members here. In addition, hope that some time in the future will be able to contribute.

    As for my outdoor experience, I have not been very active but hope to get into backpacking, hiking and camping starting this year. Been doing some research and have been slowly gathering supplies.

    Welcome from MD. If you can make it there's a hang coming up. Not sure where in VA you are. It will be good to check out if you can. I will only be able to stop by. Unfortunately won't be staying. https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ighlight=MAHHA

    Welcome. As you probably know you're in a great area for hiking ... don't wait on equipment, tons of great day hikes while you accumulate supplies.
    Here's an interactive map link with tons of options: (just click the state/area, etc..)

    You can do a day hike here or there, and scope it out for future overnight camping if you really like the area. Good luck and keep us posted on your trips.

    Good to see another NOVA Hanger. Several of us will be heading up the MAHHA (Mid Atlantic Hammock Hangers Association) next month. Come on up. We also do a NOVA hang in PWF in the Fall.

    Howdy *waves from Sterling* There are a number of hangers from No. VA here. If you want to check out gear before you buy something be sure to shout out. Also the MAHHA is coming up soon. That is a great place to check out gear even if you have nothing to hang with yet. You can just stop by and say hello.

    Howdy from yet another NoVa hanger. Just as others have mentioned, there is the Spring and Fall MAHHA (Mid Atlantic Hammock Hangers Association) hang at Pine Grove Furnace STate Park in PA. Over 100 hangers, demos and fun. In the Fall is also the NOVA Hang at Prince William Forrest State Park. Small but just as fun.

    Welcome from a SoVa hanger, lol! Get your pen a paper because there is a plethora of information in these forums. Also, if you haven't already checking out Shug's videos is a great place to start. Link here.
