    Red face Newbie from SW Florida

    Hey All!

    Started out wanting to learn how to weave a hammock ended up learning how that was the wrong type of hammock. After watching Shug and Griz's video i do think they planted the bug in me. Hope to see you at a hang...

    Welcome aboard from Lakeland. The season is over for most of us in central and south Florida. Well except for the diehards. Most hangers located in south Florida end up driving up to central Florida to hang. Keep an eye out on the trip planning threads beginning in October and mark your calendar for MLK Jr. weekend for the 5th annual Florida Hang.
    Most of us end up poorer here but richer for being here. Olddog, Fulltime hammocker, 365 nights a year.

    Cool, welcome! Some of us "diehards" do a hang called the "No Underquilt Hang" in June/July. Hopefully you'll have your hammock setup by then. If not come on out and join us using a tent, great way to try out our hammocking setups. Keep an eye on the Southeast gathering subforum.
