    New Hanger from Raleigh, NC

    I have recently joined the world of hangers! In fact, I may have jumped in with both feet. I have bought 3 hammocks (gave to wife and 2 children) and made my first DIY hammock for myself (thanks Kyle at RBTR). It is a little over 11' and was very comfortable for an afternoon nap. I am still trying to fine tune my ridge line to find the "sweet spot", but I hope to get there soon. I have already benefited from the wealth of knowledge on this forum and I look forward to learning more.

    Welcome from down at the beach!

    You have jumped right in! Kyle is good people and can fix you up with most of what you need.

    Then you will need some Dutchware and some quilts and some tarps and . . .

    Thanks for all the welcomes. I'm going to try some test hangs and I hope to make the hang at Jordan Lake in October!
