    Hello From Canton Ga

    Hey gang,

    I am an avid log time camper and Scoutmaster that recently joined the ranks of tree sleepers. I have spent 2 weekends hanging already, 1 of which was a cold weekend in February and the other just last weekend on Tybee Island. Both outing I enjoyed the best sleep I have had on a campout. No pressure points and no snoring so I have been told I have to always sleep in the hammock. My setup includes a Hennessy Expedition Asm Zip with an Eno UQ. The UQ is not the best fit but got a great deal on it at an REI scratch and dent sale so I make it work.DSCN0189.jpg

    Welcome aloft from S.C. You will find so much wonderful information on this forum for your new camping method. I must admit, this is the first time I heard the hammock stop your snoring. I wish it would make a few others stop snoring. You will see what I mean when you attend a group hang. I try to stay a little further from the group so the snoring doesn't keep me awake.

    If you get a chance, please join the Palmetto State Hangers (PSH) for one of our group hangs. You will have a great time. Also, there is a group hang at Leroy's Ferry Campground just north of McCormick, SC 9-11 May. It is right on the J. Strom Thurmond Lake. Come join us, and if you have a kayak or paddleboard, bring it. I hope to see you there.

    Welcome to HF from Athens! If you get the chance come out the group hang at Leroy's Ferry Campground. There'll be plenty of Ga hangers there too.
    Everyone ought to believe in something....I believe I'll go set up the hammock!

    Welcome from Ball Ground. If you ever want to meet and talk hammocks give me the word. As 2ply said, several group hangs in the N.Ga. area, and I try to make them all, these are great places to see different gear, get ideas, get new friends and generally enjoy oneself. I look forward to meeting you.
    If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.

    I don't know who you buddy in Ball Ground is, but if you come this way again and let me know, you will for sure have another. I favor that barbecue myself.
