Hello HF members!!!!
The name is Austin. I'm pretty new to Hammock Forums, and I'm also pretty excited!!! I'm getting ready to go on my first backpacking trip to northern Minnesota this summer!!! I've spent the last 4 or 5 years researching and testing all of the gear that I need for my first trip... and I'm finally ready!!! I guess it all started with pop can alcohol stoves. I saw a video on youtube of how to make one, and I was instantly captivated. I made 5 or 6 and then realized that I needed to go out in the woods and test it out. That's when I stumbled across Shug. And I'm sure you all know who he is! I saw that he slept in a hammock, and I thought that that was pretty cool. So I did some research and bought an eno double nest. I modified it with whoopie slings of course... among a few other things. Then I hit another road block. Sleeping in my backyard in a small town in northern Indiana didn't really give me that "Nature High" that I wanted. And thus my backpacking journey began. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of the wonderful people on HF in the future!!!
