    Hello from (soon to be) MA hanger

    Hi there.
    Virgin wannabe hanger here. Enjoy the great outdoors, camping and bushcraft etc. These old bones, however, finally convinced me to get up off the ground and start getting some comfortable sleep. So I did my research and ordered up a nice hanger (WB-BB) and hope to have it soon. Planning to try my first official hang up in NH in about 3-4 weeks. In the meantime I'm here to hang with y'all and cram in as much knowledge as possible. Looking forward to the elevation.

    Cheers,
    E

    Thanks Andrew. Looking forward to it.
    Wish I had ordered it a couple weeks earlier. Then I'd have a chance to join the MA hangers at Harold Parker and get some first hand advice from some of the pros. No worries, looks like a pretty active community here so I'm sure there will be many opportunities to get my feet wet, or rather, learn how to keep them dry.

    Harold Hang on the 16th, ME in Sept and NH in Oct....plenty of opportunities to learn from the expert in the area!

    Hopefully we'll see you at 1 or all of these group hangs!

    Thanks everyone! Tracking all these events and planning to make at least a couple. Picked up the remaining items I need including a super deal on a Jarbidge. Wish I had a backyard with trees so I can get some practice in, but showing up the noob at the Harold hang is looking pretty probable. And the pics from NH look amazing. Can hardly wait.

    Welcome from Florida. It's ridiculous how long it takes us to figure out that hammocks are the way to go. Attending a group hang is a smart move.
