    Hello for the Pacific NW

    Hi All,
    Got into hammock camping last year on kind of a lark. It was a 3 day raft trip on the Deschutes, and it worked great. Now I'm looking at doing a section of the PCT next summer, so I'm trying to gear up this summer with smaller trips here in Oregon. This forum looks like it has a lot of great info, and I still have a lot to learn about hanging. Thanks for putting this forum out there and sharing.
