    I'd be happy to lead a women's trip in the northeast/ New England area. I like to backpack, paddle, hike etc. I prefer not to car camp though but would do that if it were in an out of the way place without too many people. Any takers? I live in Massachusetts but am always up for going someplace in VT or NH. I love Maine, though it is a tad far and I am going there a bunch this camping season. Maybe in April before the bugs come out? Not too cold, not too warm? Let me know anybody.

    A women's trip in driving distance sounds wonderful! The idea of trying out new equipment, awkwardly, as the only female in front of a bunch of men is intimidating to me.

    I think this is a great idea! Maybe something on and island or a boat-trip distance! I would love to meet some other women hammock-ers

    At EVERY hang, I have very well intentioned men who tell me "what I should be doing". Although I'm fairly new, I'm happy with how I figure things out on my own. If I want advice, then I'll ask for it.

    I would be interested. Thinking how many can hike in (maybe a smaller number)
    If your looking to grow, possibly do both car camp and hike in to the same site. Here in Jersey the trips vary to a
    site depending on how the guys/gals have set up ahead of time. Some with meet there...start the fire And others might canoe or hike in.
    Food can be brought and share one night or on your own. We do that with our girls Kayak trip, midweek.

    Hi jellyfish.....I also have zero women friends who camp - except for my daughter-in-law...and if she goes camping it is usually with her husband and kids.

    I just spent the weekend alone at Trap Pond in Laurel, DE as my first non-backyard hammock hang.

    I'm also in Delaware - Smyrna.... (north of Dover, south of Middletown). Whereabouts in DE are you? Maybe we could try to plan a women's mini-hang at one of the state parks some time.

    Hmmm, thinking DE is not that far from No. VA

    I'd go for a Rickett's Glen weekend. I'm in Eastern PA, so not too far. It's been a long time since I've visited there, and never camped in that park.

    If anyone wants to paddle, I live near the Delaware Water Gap and Delaware River, and I could either help plan or show you around (or down) the river. Could also figure out a river camping trip. Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area allows overnights on the river at a number of designated sites for river travelers (permit needed - used to be free, not sure if it still is).

    I find I have the opposite problem with mostly men groups. Yes, they try to tell me how to do it, but then they find I'm pretty self-sufficient and won't deal with me again (ego ouch?). I was raised in the sticks, in a farming area, and have been playing in the woods all my life.
