    Hello from Ohio!

    Hello everyone,

    I just started hanging this past summer during a 4 day hiking trip in the Porcupine Mountains in the Upper Peninsula of MI. It was fantastic. I'll never go back to sleeping on the ground again if I don't have to. Anyone else here from NE Ohio? I thought I'd add a picture from the trip. We camped right on Lake Superior. My setup is a ENO DoubleNest with a Jacks-R-Better Cat Tarp. Worked like a charm. I'm really looking forward to learning to make my own gear!

    lapsjd, welcome! Looks like you are off to a great start. I'm a former Buckeye growing up in the small town of Ashland. There's a lot of nice folks in here with tons of great information. Enjoy!

    Hi! and welcome to the Forum!

    I'm from Western PA... hopefully we'll get enough folks together for an Ohio/Pennsylvania hang in the not-too-distant-future.

    There's a lot of great advice here, and people have been wonderful about sharing info.

    You've got a great looking camp there!
