Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am brand new to hammock forums and pretty new to hammocking, about a year or so now. Took my eno out for the first time last summer in uwharrie and fell in love with hammocks so after a lot of you tubing I invested in a WB blackbird. Did a 3 day hike in Grayson Highlands and a trip to Cades Cove in GSMNP. I primarily camp in the winter. Don't care for all the bugs. I am looking to join some hangs in NC,SC, VA, TN, GA,( driving distance) me people and increase my knowledge of hammocking.

Welcome - sounds like you are well on your way. Your equipment list looks well thought out also - but I don't get the "It Works" Tarp - I'll guess it is just a temp one. I agree that colder weather is perfect hammock weather. I just passed through your area last week returning from Beaufort SC. It was a bit hot/muggy/buggy in SC for me - NC/Virginia and farther North are entering perfect weather conditions for me.

Welcome from Garner. You should try and make it out to the Yates Place hang coming up in about a month. Rumor has it there will be some of the best cooking going on by the best cook you could ever find in the woods.
