    Hammock rookie

    Howdy all! New to hanging here and will hopefully be spending most of my spring & summer in my new Hennesy UL Explorer asym on some good fishing trips. I've heard good things about this forum on bushcraftusa.com, the forum I frequent most. I hope and believe I'll learn and enjoy the crowd over here as much as I do over there. Thanks for having me aboard!

    Welcome aloft from SC. There is so much information here, you may get information overload, but stick with it. Shug's videos are great for beginners, and I recommend eventually you donate $10 and become a donating member, and other awesome forums are open to you like stoves, backpacks, off topics, and others. You will love it here.

    Also, nice hammock, I like the Hennessey Explorer UL.
