iPhone photo, so not the highest res, but this was a fantastic location near a waterfall at Standing Indian Campground in Otto, NC this past weekend. I had to ford the stream and slipped on a rock,...

Thanks for the suggestion on the backpacking light website. Lots of stuff there! I don't really plan on camping in weather that cold. For one, I live in Georgia and it doesn't really get that cold...

Thanks all who have chimed in so far! I'm definitely open to buying used and keeping an eye on the sale section here as well as a couple facebook groups for hiking gear. Any other sites to watch for...

I have read a lot and I know that a TQ/UQ combo is the best option for hammocks. However, I cannot afford either right now. I have a WBBB double layer hammock and a CCF pad for bottom insulation. My...

Color me impressed. I ordered this less than a week ago and got it in the mail today. Unbelievable!! I did a jerry-rigged set up just to see what it all looked like. I still need to get stakes and...

I know a lot of people that commute back and forth for the same reason! Athens is a nice town, but I have to admit I'm ready to try living somewhere else for a while. Thinking Asheville, NC when I...

That's what I was thinking! I'll probably upgrade later, but for now I think the Edge will do just fine.

Thanks SO much for all of the responses. Based on the advice, what I'm currently leaning toward is the WBBB double layer 1.1 which will weigh 1lb 11oz. Now, the decision I'm trying to make is between...

Thanks for all the kind welcomes! So many folks from Georgia on here, I'm impressed!



Nice to meet another Athenian here!

It all depends on my grad school schedule for fall semester which is up in the air, but I'm putting this on my calendar! I'm only about an hour from Lake Oconee and would love to join y'all and meet...

Hello from a fellow Georgian! I'm also new to the forum. Lots of info here!

New to the forum, to the world of hammock camping, well truly and honestly to the world of camping in general. I love the outdoors and hiking, but haven't done much camping in my life but I'm trying...

I'm a complete novice at camping/backpacking and especially hammock camping but it's something I'm trying to get into. I've done a ton of hiking, but usually just day hiking, and am planning for a...
