    Hello from the beautiful New River Valley in southwest Virginia. Recently hiked a few days on the Benton MacKaye Trail (with tent).

    I'm really wanting to backpack with a hammock, and am starting out needing almost all the gear: hammock, top quilt, bottom insulation, and tarp. So, reading and researching a lot now. I weight about 115 lb, so want to stay relatively lightweight. Thinking about a WWBB.

    What's up, I'm from the new river valley, West Virginia. Wyoming county to be exact. I'm somewhat new myself, and was thinking about getting a wbbb, there's a lot of good vendors in the hammock community.

    I live in the new river valley as well. Or we'll at the end of the new river. Where it meets with the Gauley and becomes the kanawha. There's a lot of good folks on here that are more than helpful. And people such as Dutch and McIntyre that make gear. Also I highly recommend the day section as well as the for sale section. Makes a low budget jumpstart Into hanging possible.
