greetings Kaemac. i'm just south of W-S & NCpatrick lives in W-S, so there are at least a couple hammockers close by that can help w/ demos if you need.
a good place to start is jeff's site...

I'm planning on using my hammock for my '09 thur of the A.T. The ground is no longer an option. :) I'd say come check out my set up but alas there seems to be a small number of hammockers in the great white north, or at least in Manitoba. :( Welcome.
