    Greetings from Queens, NY

    Hi all, I am joining the forum after being a lurker earlier in the year while gearing up for the AT. Now that I'm done, I can join in on the fun of talking hammocks.

    I was never able to get a proper night's sleep with a hammock but I do like using them to lounge around and relax. I think hammocks are like a super comfy lounge chair; it's something I enjoy but not necessarily something I want to sleep on for hours on end. I ended up switching to a traditional tent (blasphemy!) but held onto the top quilt for the duration of the hike. I am looking to check out different hammock systems just for the enjoyment of them!

    Cheers,
    Mike

    I was just in Astoria this weekend, I have friends there that do sections of the AT now and then, and use both hammocks and tents.

    Every day is a good day.

    Welcome to the forums from Marietta GA. Hammock sleeping isn't for everyone, or maybe you just haven't tried the right hammock/setup yet. Whether sleeping or lounging, happy hanging!
