Hello from Gulfport MS!

I have enjoyed reading your posts for several months now and have learned a lot from them. I hope to eventually contribute information, but am still a newbie hanger.

I love hiking! During the cooler weekends in south MS (usually Oct. - Apr.), you can usually find me in Desota National Forest on the Black Creek Trail or the Tuxachanie Trail (hence....Tuxhiker). Black Creek is a great place to hike, paddle, and hang (but not in the summer). In the winter it is usually warm enough to wear shorts.

I hope to get to GA this summer and spend a few weeks on the AT. Last summer I hiked in Shenandoah for a short time.

I ordered my first Amsteel Blue to make whoopie slings after reading your posts and watching HF videos. Thanks everyone for the knowledge you've shared!
