    New Camper from South Jersey

    Hey,

    This forum is super helpful and I struck gold finding it online.

    I just bought a serac hammock combo because it was cheap and I wanted to test the waters. I do however see this being an obsession the first time I try it.

    There's a few good spots around where I live but I'm always open to camping with new people so if your close, give me a shout.

    If anyone has any suggestions on the basics necessities for an overnight or 2 days hike I'd appreciate it.

    Welcome to Hammock Forums. Depending on the weather you will need at a bare minimum the hammock, bottom insulation if the low is below 70°, top insulation, and a tarp. Then the normal hiking gear.

    Welcome from Union County! A lot of Jersey hangers here. Group hangs in the Pine Barrens are common and fun - keep an eye on the Trip Planning forum and post in the trip thread if you need to borrow gear!

    Welcome from the Jersey Shore! Pine Barren group hangs are fun, unless GreatBigDave comes - he likes to hide your canoe in a tree!

    Hi and welcome to the forums! One piece of advice I received that proved very helpful, take along friends that hammock camp. This allows you to see other setups and try stuff out without the large investment.

    Welcome to Hammock Forums! There are a bunch of NJ folk on here, and we're a reasonably friendly bunch. Hope to see you in the woods sometime.
