Cool, thanks!

I'm a newbie hanger, old-school hiker going ever more ultra-light, and an often VW hippie van camper. Would love to see some actual set-ups. Aside from mine, I've only actually ever seen one hammock camper, in a car campground in glacier last summer. Everything I know I learned from the internet and The Ultimate Hang.

I'm actually scheduled to work that weekend, but will see if I can find a trade.

How many people join in for western Washington hangs? What's the scene like? Is it the sort of crowd that's friendly for a solo 40- something progressive woman to hang out with?

We get ages across the spectrum. I'de say most in there mid 20's and as far up as 60's in the past few...
I think we get usually in the range of 15-20 people.

Its 20 acres of red alder for the most part. No neighbors, no real widow makers. you can hear the Ocean
from your hammock.
