Shadowmoss, you don't hae to "reserve" your trees, per se, however you may want to give Ed Speer a heads up to let him know you're coming. You can get his e-mail address from his website under contact (www.speerhammocks.com). It's looking like there's going to be a pretty good sized turnout for this one again.
And don't sweat it, someone there, especially Ed, is always willing to pitch in a hand and help with someone who's new to hammocking. We'll make sure you get hung right.
