My previous backpacking trips have been in the Red River Gorge (beautiful place) and I have spent a lot of time hiking (and running) the trails of the Great Smoky Mountains. I would love to hear about other hiking/backpacking trails in the region, preferably with beautiful Vistas.
My current set up is an Eno Singlenest with Whoopie Sling supports connected to Hammock Bliss Tree straps with a marline-spike. My tarp is a Hennessy Hammock 10x12 Hex Tarp. My insulation currently consists of an X-frame Inertia inflatable Pad and a Suisse Mountain Sport mummy bag. This probably won't keep me too warm, but I don't plan on any cold weather hangs in the immediate future.
This community seems like it's full of great people genuinely trying to help each other out and I'm excited to be getting involved.
