    Hiyah from the Olympic Peninsula!

    Hi All,
    Casual hanger and less casual backpacker thinking about raising my sleeping system up a few inches. Just moved out to western Washington and exploring the northern edges of Olypic NP. I also haven't bought a bed since I moved (gettig really good at falling asleep on the floor) so seriously considering making my hammock a permanent fixture of my sleeping schedule. I've hung around these forums for months and finally made an account. Y'all have helped so much already and I look forward to continuing to learn!

    That would be sweet to sleep in a hammock every night. That would be the good life.

    I made the decision almost two months ago. It has been a wonderful experience except it has made me late for work twice now. Guess I got way to comfortable and slept to hard. I also went camping this past weekend and slept on the ground only one day. So stiff once I got up. Took me about 10 minutes to get moving. Next night, I slept sound as a pound.

    Hello from Charlotte NC.
    When I lived in Portland, the Olympics were my favorite place to visit. I'm jealous!

    One of my favorite parts of your country. I'd love to take a hammock up there on my next visit
