Howdy yall. Hoping to learn from you guys and find some like minded folks. Im a 31 year old veteran who wants to get back out under the stars. Heading to the LSHT in Sam Houston State Park this weekend to hang for the first time and I am super stoked
Welcome from Rosenberg.
If you're heading out this weekend anyway, just drive a few dozen more miles north & come on out to the Annual Texas Hang:

Best place you could hope to go for a first hang.
+1 to what Sarge said. As a fellow Houstonian I welcome you and hope you get a chance to make the Fairfield Lake hang. Seems like a great group of people with a lot of knowledge about hammocking and the outdoors in general. Even if you can just swing by for a day or night, I would suggest it. That way you can look at various gear in person and make an educated purchase when it comes time.
I would second that suggestion as it is hunting season on the LSHT and there are restrictions on camping. Sept 26 - Jan 8 if i read the info correctly.

Although I have not experienced the hunter camps personally, I have heard they leave a lot to be desired.
Welcome from Corpus Christi btw ... lol

Maybe ill swing by but I really want to get some miles under my feet. Looking to do around 30 to 40 miles in my 3 day hike
We are down here and getting set up. Looks like it is going to be a great weekend.
Do I just show up? Are there good trails?
There are trails on the park map, but it is my first time here. Yeah if you show up, I am sure that more than one person would be willing to share a camp site with you. We should have an extra space at 33 if you do come.
Wifey put the kabosh on my hike this weekend sorry guys and gals. Sad panda
