Hi guys!
So, I’ve never even been in a tent hammock before, but it is something that has obsessed me as of late. Causing me to spend far too many hours on my laptop, here reading forums, and watching youtube videos, so forth. It's crazy, unfettered hammockery madness! By obsessing about hammocks, and waking my boyfriend up at odd hours late at night to pass along useful information I have gleaned from my glowing screen, I think I’ve convinced him (and myself) that this is something we need to try since we both love to camp so much (one of our first dates was a camping trip!) — but in recent years we've both been waking up all sore and stiff in the morning. (too young for that, right? boo gravity!)
This forum has been delightfully helpful in trying to make informed decisions about what kind of hammock(s) to buy. And I love all the brlliant and fun DIY suggestions and tips and stuff. omg, like the scrunchie snake skins!! I LOVE that! It seems that much anything you’d ever need (or want) to know about hammockery is probably archived here! (although I have yet to come across the thread on how to have sex in a hammock without fits of giggles, lol ~ or maybe that’s *another* website)
Anyhoo, before I digress any further, I just wanted to thank the site owners and operators for putting this out there for everyone. I’m hoping to figure out what gear will be best for us. The problem is that I’m smaller than he is, so it’s likely we might need both need to get different set-ups. Sometimes we go car camping with friends but prefer a place that has walk-in campsites where we can put a little distance in between us and all the little kids who like to get up at the crack of dawn. We’d also like to maybe try some longer distance hiking/camping trips, but don’t have a lot in the way of ultra-light gear. I’m open to suggestions if ya’ll have any. We’d really like to be under $300 each for this, but also wondering if maybe we go even more “budget” at first just to try it out and see if we like it and then trade up… SO many decisions and so many options!
Have a fantastic day! Spring camping weather seems to be on her way!
