    Howdy from NW Florida!

    Howdy y'all! I'm a hammock newbie from Tallahassee. I've owned an ENO singlenest for a couple of years, but never used it for anything other than lounging in the park. I've done a fair bit of day hiking, but never any backpacking. I've decided I want to get into backpacking, and I want to do it with a hammock.

    I've watched all of Shug's great videos for newbs and read the Ultimate Hang book. Both were quite valuable. I'm looking forward to learning a lot more from y'all, and to getting to know some great people!

    If any of you happen to live in or near Tallahassee, hit me up. I've got a great group of friends, but the big problem is none of them like to do much outdoorsy stuff. I'd love to meet some local folks that like to get outside, and that could maybe teach me a thing or two.

    Welcome from Philly.
    When I was a kid the only time we were in the house was to eat and sleep.

    Welcome aboard from Lakeland. There are quite a few hangers up that way. Not sure if they get together the way we do down here in central Florida or not. One hang you will want to try to get to is the 5th Annual Florida Hang on MLK Jr. weekend in Ocala National Forest. 100 + people last year and growing every year.
    Most of us end up poorer here but richer for being here. Olddog, Fulltime hammocker, 365 nights a year.

    Welcome from South Florida. You define it'll have hangers around you in North Florida. There is a spreadsheet and Google map links here on the forum with member locations.
